Is the Gatlinburg/ pigeon forge area over saturated?

This is the investment thesis in my area, it is becoming a bit saturated, but if you can rent just below the new build/corporates, and maybe accept tenants that are a bit outside of the corporate approved model, you can keep your place rented. 

The problem is the over saturation of them.  

@Trevor McCormick I would say that it is an okay market but is very saturated and alot of investors are having a tough time right now.

The STR market here has become way more saturated and competitive especially in San Juan. 

New construction in a saturated market isn’t always the best play if you’re looking for steady returns.A place like Rochester has way better fundamentals—lower buy-in, strong rent-to-price ratios, and stable demand from universities, hospitals, and major employers.

Yeah I just don’t see the point of buying STR at this point, the markets are so saturated.

Saturation is definitely upon us but quality product continues to get booked just like other markets.

There's lots of opportunities in developing neighborhoods, but also seems a bit saturated at the moment.Also, definitely budget security (remote control cameras, alarm system, etc.) for your properties, as there are a lot of people who occupy themselves by breaking into houses and stealing anything they can sell.Lastly, there are a ton of contractors looking for a quick buck.

*Have sufficient capital to 1) invest in exceptional design and amenities to stand out in a saturated market and 2) endure the low season.
