They are getting creative with their deals.

Does anyone have any other creative ideas?

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.

@Felicia JenkinsAlso, Padsplit will want you to eliminate any dining room, den, etc to add more bedrooms. 

Each housing authority (HA) provides a voucher amount determined by bedroom and some further define it by zip code or city within their covered area.

Meanwhile, gross rents of $1,800+ for 3-bedroom single-families is an achievable figure, so it’s possible to generate cash flow if you lever modestly.There’s a bunch of other stuff that’s worth highlighting—the economy, demographics, neighborhoods, new construction, and more.

I love creative financing, who doesn't?

Purchase price: $145,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Fully renovated 4-5 bedroom ranch on 3.3 acres.

Sometimes I've heard of PMLs doing "creative" financing like this where maybe they do a very short-term loan that can be paid back once you sell the land.

It’s a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit that I’ve been living in for the past two years.
