The increased cash flow and the ability to pay down the loan more quickly are the biggest draws for me.Am I underestimating the time commitment of managing a multifamily property?

well if I ever make it to the Smokies to see what the draw is  I will rent a condo then :)  I am just guess but I suspect folks that go there want to be in the woods and hear the birds and maybe some local mtn views etc.. or some sort of privacy they never get at home out east were there is not very much public lands close to where they live in the big city. ????

Never underestimate the importance of drawing a clear line between business and personal life.The real investor-agent.

That they don't service their loans well, lag on draws, say they can close fast but don't etc etc.

What is drawing you to that specific location?

They found it out, andI had to go to the planning board and zoning board, hire an engineer and architect to make the fourth unit legal.In my opinion, the realtor should have verified the zoning, and if you used bank financing, it's pretty rare for the bank to miss it as well.You are probably going to have to hire an architect to draw plans and to get it approved as a triplex.I wish you luck.

I don't see similar features in existing cabins and my gut tells me that it might be nice draw when weather transitions from summer to colder temps. 

What is drawing you to it?

Is this expected since interest rates are high and listing prices are subsequently dropping? 

The plumber and electrician ran the gas pipes and electric for stove to the wrong spot....the electrician followed the plumber as usual  but there was a drawing in the apartment and the plumber had the drawing in his messages.
