If you didn't specify, then the person you were talking to might have thought you were just talking about a short term rental / Air B&B.

What else would you screen to prevent this from happening?

One of the first things I do when I buy a property is to look it over carefully and do as much preventive work as is necessary.  I see you’re in Gatlinburg.

Property appraised for 245k; however, it was classified as a c5 which prevented most lenders from issuing conventional financing.I contested the appraisal and the appraiser held their ground, but their supervisor told me that if I slapped a coat of paint on the cabinets (these needed to be replaced due to wood rot) it would be an easy c4.I paid $520 for a new appraisal, contacted all my family and friends, deep cleaned the home and put a fresh coat of paint on the rotted cabinets and over the doors.

So I need to clear the air a bit with Fund & Grow.

It is pretty well known that the more boxes you can check off on your air bnb listing far as what amenities and features you provide the better.

Also worth taking a look at cities and metros in person, although the flight and hotel/air bnb can add up, you can generally write those costs off, and in general getting on the ground and feeling the energy of a city or market can tell you a lot about the intangibles there.  

It's not rocket science, cut it out, wash it down, do preventative maintenance call it a day.

You can make minor adjustments based on the type of appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc.) and the size of the rental.
