Then once you have your golden ticket (pre approval letter) from the lender then you can begin looking for homes with a realtor and go shopping.

No wonder we go for realtor-contractor-PM self-help way rather than blindly trusting a one-stop-shop to make the most for us.

I’ve considered the idea of shopping it out to wholesalers, or even listing it, but I went into it with the intent to rent and I’d like to see that through if the numbers make sense.

Im interested in knowing the process on possibly converting existing garage/mechanic shop space into restaurant space.

Welcome to the forum @Jordan Bemboom - always happy to network and talk shop.

In the Smokies, AirBNB has about 15% of the total rentals; VRBO is king with about 60%; and the remainder is split between other OTAs and Property mgmt companies (many of whom list on OTAs as well).https://www.rented.com/2019-rented-report/https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/travel/destinations/2019/03/27/vacation-rentals-50-best-places-buy-property-2019/3286874002/https://www.forbes.com/sites/ellenparis/2019/03/26/best-places-in-2019-to-own-a-vacation-rental-property/#10525b4b5da1https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/2018/08/14/these-top-25-markets-buy-vacation-rental-usa/984513002/https://www.vacasa.com/real-estate/buyer/best-places-to-buy-a-vacation-home
