For someone in your position, starting small but strategic might be the best move.

My niche is the small amount of qualified Sending land that is also priced well below the value of the new credits that can be clipped off and resold for an arbitrage profit.

I've done this so many times it is crazy, so speak with experience.Also in small towns trades can be tricky. 

Ask direct questions. 

If any of you have questions regarding the firm, please send me a message directly and I will email you or set up a call.

And some other small but strange things.

We have one as a rental and have long term tenants there who are great and we have good communication in both directions.

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.

In terms of small multifamily inventory, newer, with garages, symmetrical, good curb appeal, etc., are all ideal in my opinion. 

Actually, an ever growing number of Americans are investing in Europe and they're welcomed with open arms.
