Hey @Robert Carmody, we are only on AirBNB and VRBO and they work just fine.I have been reluctant to do a Booking.com listing due to the negative reviews I have heard from other hosts.Booking.com was geared towards hotel stays, which means your STR gets treated like a hotel room.

Protecting yourself from any future issues will require a good understanding of the situation your house is in when you buy it.Tl;dr: crime here is relatively low, declining population numbers don't take students into account, properties are cheap, rents are high BUT be careful where you buy.This concludes my TED Talk, ha!

Probably depends on the location and part of town if neighbors care or notice. 

A better approach is to network with other experienced passive investors and review the offering together. 

I have a free training on my YouTube channel that teaches you how to create a comp set and review the competition in your market so that you can make an intelligent decision on whether or not to move forward.

An architect can assist you in the initial work to get this submitted to the city for review and approval, and then a GC can pull the permit and work with you and the local inspectors to get this up to code.

This is not a legitimate business or lender.Be careful and happy investing! 

Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are both extremely strong right now , with most people overpaying in the years that you mentioned and simply not KNOWING OR CARING  how to properly run a top notch Air BNB. 

Can anyone give me a candid review to ensure that I wouldn't get burned from this VA company  me and my partner can testify, closing our 2nd for the month in 10days, $11k spread that we anticipate 

Although RTR does not have control over management issues, it is clear that Zach cares about his clients and will do what he can to help.
