The information contained in this post is not to be relied upon.

For example, I have repeatedly informed him of my very negative experience with ABC Capital Investments (still going on almost one year with no payments to show for it) and yet he continues to promote ABC Capital Investments in Baltimore and Philadelphia despite fully knowing that many people continue to have very bad experiences with them.

That's not enough information for anyone to give you any relevant advice.Does your neighbor want to sell?

I am out Out of state investor so don't want to give you wrong information, my best advise is to find a local agent who knows the area and can help you better than me.

I really appreciate this nugget of information and will always look back to this when setting up my situation for rent by the room.

If you ask nicely and promise not to share, you can usually get good financial information on the properties that are currently operating as a STR.If you're just starting out looking, you may not be aware of just how many cabins out there are poor quality builds due to the lack of codes.

You can probably identify the builder of the subject property by contacting the City of Gatlinburg - they will have this information on file.Purely from an investment standpoint, building a cabin from scratch is by far your most expensive way to invest in the Smokies right now.

Thank you so much for the helpful information!

Tenant name, contact information, and address2.

If you don't provide the information that's fine, but it would be a transparent answer.There are hard money lenders who underwrite to DSCR standards with their own rules, and commercial loans with use DSCR in various  applications.
