All rent comes in and goes to the "broker/owner" of the franchise, who then passes it on to the property owners. 

Because the borrower wasn’t just a property owner but a business owner with millions on the line.

I’d like the tenants to be able to stay until a new owner takes over.I own a ~1,015 sq ft, 3/1.5, single-family home with 1-car garage in Swansea.

The same thing EV owners that live in an SFR have been doing for 10 years?

I am definitely interested - not currently an owner but have two offers out this week and actively looking to invest here - specifically Lake Harmony/JFBB area.

You can meet and network with local house-flippers, wholesalers, real estate investors, real estate portfolio owners, etc. 

Lastly, we all must remember we are close to 20 million visitors to the area (13M to GSMNP) every year and most owners just need 60 to 80 families to stay at their STR to have a successful year.  .  

You will need a RMLO to modify any residential owner occupied mortgage. 

The owner is living in the ADU and renting out both levels of the main house on AirBnb.

The current owner is usually not be very inclined to give the news to the tenant out of concern that the deal does not close and they have to deal with the vacancy.
