Congrats on your first STR in Sevierville—sounds like a strong start!

I’m not completely set on only doing out of state.

If you are using a third-party site to conduct the background checks, sometimes they have the option to send a person, a denial letter, and due to the fair credit act it may be required to send them a notice, informing them that you checked their credit and background so that they have a receipt that it was completed.

Sounds more like trying to win a popularity contest, aiming to gain votes and likes from people here that also have something against wholesaling.But OK let me play along.Let's fact-check this:OP: "It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it."

Again, expect higher prices than your initial targets.Smaller Cities: Don't completely overlook smaller cities or towns with strong local economies (e.g., a strong university or a growing industry).

A follow up question I now have would be do you think its smarter to completely pay off the first property before buying a new property or to keep going out and buying new properties once i have enough saved up for the down payment along with extra fees?

Hey @Kirk Roberts that sounds like a great long term goal!

I also advertise before someone moves out to get a new tenant before the current one leaves. 100% occupancy on a LTR is very common for me.No idea on a MTR.100% occupancy sounds great, but for a bigger portfolio or apartment complex, it usually means you're leaving money on the table.Here’s an extreme example: I could rent out 100 units at $500 a month and make $50,000.

And we may be seeing that (although I'm not as plugged in as I need to be).The DADU sounds great!
