But if you know any other resources or great spots to get started, please share them! 

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.

Once you know that, you'll be able to spot one that might have a better return than 'normal'.

The plumber and electrician ran the gas pipes and electric for stove to the wrong spot....the electrician followed the plumber as usual  but there was a drawing in the apartment and the plumber had the drawing in his messages.  

Bigger Pockets is definitely the right spot to get started. 

Yeah not a great spot.

Lot values will plummet for a good long while then crawl back up. 

I would just excavate a few 2'x2'x2' (or larger if possible) spot footings, w rebar and Simpson hardware,under the house (you will want to take up the floor to make this easier to do).

Spot on @Sean O'Keefe.
