   #9  SWEETEN the POT:    Do not think that paying extra rent is going to entice owners to rent to you. 

As you probably read through the comments on this thread, there are many moving pieces, costs, and folks involved in this transaction. 

well if I ever make it to the Smokies to see what the draw is  I will rent a condo then :)  I am just guess but I suspect folks that go there want to be in the woods and hear the birds and maybe some local mtn views etc.. or some sort of privacy they never get at home out east were there is not very much public lands close to where they live in the big city. ????

Also, keep in mind that an IN multi member LLC would require a separate tax return, so you would want to budget for extra admin fees.

One extra month of vacancy for the MTR could erase the surplus.

For 95-99% of folks, right now nothing is happening.

.- 95% of folks in pre or post NOD want to stay in their house, keep their house inspite of them 100% will loose the house at the auction. 

I've seen folks charge as high as $5,000 to $10,000 for tax planning and tax preparation, But i also know high quality folks that have fees are around $1,200 to 2k.

Now that I have this amazing community, I want to know the folks here if you've ever heard of this company or worked with them?
