The holidays are a magical time, full of family gatherings, laughter, and... real estate deals?

If you looked at rate projections in the spring and summer, many accurately predicted that rates would fall in 3rd quarter and rise in 4th quarter.

Even in disclosure states, sales data is not all reported to the sites so you need the MLS to be the most accurate.

I can see how Gatlinburg/Sevierville/Pigeon Forge has an oversupply (even though SMNP receives the most annual visitors per year of any national park and double that of the #2 NP)… though, from what we’ve watched in the last year and gathered from our realtor in Knox, both Knoxville and Chattanooga homes are still going for over asking price which would indicate an under supply, no? 

I leave the marginal ones waiting, letting them know I will reach out when I have a showing date/time.At the showing, I collect their completed application (sent via PDF prior or filled out on premises), scan their photo ID and last 2 pay stubs.Then, I do some digging around online (social media, court records, Google) and if it looks like they are representing themselves to me accurately, I contact them and send them a link to do the background checks (paid by them directly to the vendor). 

However, make sure your underwriting is conservative and accurate.  

Analyzing the neighborhood and the asset condition is the key to projecting accurate returns.
