I'm a little surprised that @Chase McArthur thinks it's only suitable "to help you decide whether or not to submit your LOI for further diligence". 

These are top drive-to destinations for much of the Southeast, so short-term rentals here can generate solid cash flow, especially during peak seasons.The area is also seeing steady growth, with more infrastructure and amenities being added to support visitors and new residents.

Will make this pursuit their full-time job for the next several years, and commit whatever they have, aside from a suitable personal emergency fund, to the thesis.  

I can see how Gatlinburg/Sevierville/Pigeon Forge has an oversupply (even though SMNP receives the most annual visitors per year of any national park and double that of the #2 NP)… though, from what we’ve watched in the last year and gathered from our realtor in Knox, both Knoxville and Chattanooga homes are still going for over asking price which would indicate an under supply, no? 

The ideal property would meet the above criteria, AND would have a large yard, or ideally, a detached garage that was a suitable candidate for an ADU construction project (CO now allows ADU construction on most properties), and/or a primary structure that had lots of value-add potential. 

Properties in the Southeast of Mexico often offer ROI upwards of 10%-15% annually, especially in short-term rentals.Key Benefits:Tourism Growth: Mexico welcomed over 40 million international visitors in the first 11 months of 2024, surpassing 2023 figures. 

However, we often facechallenges in sourcing suitable properties through traditional MLS listings.

what you're proposing, while possible, is incredibly difficult and highly risky, and i don't know how you would do it completely remotely with no plans to visit or set up a team.i think i've said this in other posts, but there is tremendous demand for inventory right now among both retail buyers and investors. 

No, DIY is not the same as a virtual site visit or a study done by engineers @Dana YobstAs @V.G Jason said, you could very likely cost yourself more in time and money.
