I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience in this area. 

I agree with Collin.The Smokies do have a lot of competition, so you need to have a view, decent location, good to great amenities etc to stand out.We have a 6-bedroom cabin there, but I imagine a 3 to 4 bedroom would be in the sweet spot of not too big or not too small.

Since you're so close to Loyola and not too far from Northwestern, I imagine you might have a pool of people who need temporary furnished housing while they study, do a medical rotation, or travel in the medical industry.

If i hadn't tried several other things, I would have never found this one and I'd be sitting on the rental portfolio doing nothing right now. 

I have a couple of funding options on the table and I’d love to hear your thoughts:Funding Approach: I have capital partners who are willing to fund 100% of the project in exchange for 50% of the profits.

Thats awesome, I'd love to connect im from the birmingham area 

For me, the first pass at underwriting is simply about determining if a deal is worth exploring further.In the current market, I’d say 9 out of 10 deals are dead on arrival.

Or if you heard about them but decided not to work with them for xyz reason, I'd interested in that too. 

I'd also like to invite you to join THE MTR Connect, a group I host that meets virtually every Friday from noon - 1:30pm EST.

I'd want to know any/all concerns you have.
