Hello all, I'm a new investor but seasoned with real estate as a Realtor and former Property Manager.

What’s your occupancy rate during peak and off-peak seasons?

There are a lot of affordable properties in Knoxville, but the growth isn't terribly vibrant and the deman isn't what you'd expect for a city of that size and that close to the Smokies - you're mostly looking at college rentals for the meat of the move season, and the SF market, while it exists, doesn't really compare to Chattanooga. 

We exclusively travel during non-peak seasons, so we would be looking to rent out completely during busy/peak seasons, and would stay at the place during slow seasonsQuestions for the experts out there:1. which development(s) tends to be the best for ROI/have the best occupancy rates?

Keeping clean records from day one really helps when tax season rolls around.

I’d love to hear advice from seasoned investors.

I’m eager to learn from those with experience and willing to put in the work to gain hands-on knowledge.I’d love to connect with others in the community—whether you’re seasoned investors or fellow beginners like me.Looking forward to any advice or insights you can share.Best regards,

Then after the units are stabilized (perhaps with some seasoning), you could get a bank/HML to refi this up for 75%-80% of the ARV.  

When it starts to rain in monsoon season, put your galoshes on. ;-)

Not looking to rent it out in the off-season currently.
