My Co-Founder and I have developed a real estate platform that'll generate a Investment Memo.If you're still interested or curious to see what we create, let's chat more, thanks!

Finally, the views shared here are all from my experience.

If anyone knows of any tutorials on the info I actually need on the platform that'd be much appreciated.

When cap rates were 6-7% and rates were 4% most deals were 75-80% LTV and you might exceed the 1.25x DSCR requirement but a bank wasn't going to go above 80% LTV.Today rates are 6-8% and cap rates are 5-7%, so your lender is probably going right up to their DSCR level, which is probably around 1.25x DSCR, and because your occupancy is lower, you're going in cap rate is not great, and because occupancy is lower it's probably viewed riskier so your rate might be higher. 

In addition to using AirDNA, research active and potential competitor rentals in your target market near Gatlinburg by browsing booking platforms.

I view the NOVA market as one of the most stable and safest markets in the US. 

I admit this defeats the purpose of having an “all-in-one” platform :) but feel free to check it out and judge for yourself

Not sure where to start, but i hoping this platform can give me some answers. 

The most important advice is not to get emotionally attached to properties (If viewed as an investment vehicle, Owning for personally reasons is difference).

Start with the view from 30,000 feet up.
