I have just begun researching Knoxville and some of the others you mentioned, thanks   We have the best college football team, The Ohio State University Buckeyes.Here are some more reasons I moved to Columbus, Ohio. https://www.thecrazytourist.com/25-best-things-columbus-ohio/

Hopefully college football will be back at full capacity as we make a lot of money on Clemson home games.

You would get rental traffic for the arena, the fairgrounds, and NC state football stadium.  

That means rents are being unpaid or are late/very late.It seems the next stimulus package is stalled in the Senate & will likely be a political football up until election day.  

Hey Franc,Assuming that CapEx items are covered and you are buying a property in decent condition, the best value add would be kitchen & bathrooms. 

They have the football and are looking for an Aaron Rodgers to move it downfield. 

I started doing AirBnb for college football weekends and was able to pay my whole mortgage for the year with 10 nights rented and avoided paying taxes by keeping my rental under 14 nights/year.

Rented it through football season to recoup my initial investment and then got a long term renter paying a premium for 12 months.

The coach helps the quarterback get better, but he doesn't throw the football for him in the game.

Graduation weekend $3,300, football weekends $2,000-$4,000/weekend.
