Delayed gratification pays off!

I was looking at an attractive rental but it looks like the land value is 75+% of the value, so I would be paying a ton get very little tax benefit. 

People like it because you don’t need to own property—just lease it, list it on Airbnb, and make money if guests pay more than your rent and expenses.The catch?

I took the next 5 months to tackle everything myself spending approximately 17k in supplies and tools + paying a plumber and roofer 4k total to fix those issues.

I'm all about finding problems to solutions and figuring out how to make something work rather than simply conceding that it cannot work.

am working with them now and had the first policy (with Spinnaker) cancelled for nonpayment/late payment so we rewrote another policy (with Millenial) and having the same payment problem again but at least they are communicating that cancellation is coming. they want me to pay by credit card over the phone so the payment wont be late and cancelled again. but when i go to mycoverageinfo.com to check on status it shows its been paid.

Quote from @Collin Hays: I suspect that the Smokies is your best choice, simply because it is a year-round destination. 

(in which they did)  then pay the price, or another tennant will🤷 You made the claim that your tenants were now "happy" to pay a $400 rent increase.

I'm assuming I would have to pay it off if I won the house. 

@Shayan SameerThe non-paying tenant could impact your short-term cash flow, so consider the potential costs and timeline of eviction in your state.
