If you plan way ahead and book a week at a ski place in the winter and a beach place in the summer (assuming 2 weeks) you could do OK.

When you resort to seller financing, you are essentially cutting out the middleman, and buying the property directly from the seller.

You'd be competing with more private accommodations and resorts with indoor water parks. 

I always use this analogy: would you tell a beginner skier who has zero experience to ski a double black diamond (the most advanced terrain) for their first run?

So of all resort places on the earth, the Gatlinburg area had a far bigger boom than anywhere else, at least that I am aware of.  

There's not many places to Ski or Snowboard in NC that are close to you if you grew up in the Northern Mid to East portion of NC.

As you may expect property condition has diminished significantly and several neighbors have resorted to calling the city on a regular basis to try to get it condemned.

If they press the issue make sure to request proof before any actions are taken and then resort to your lease.
