This is my first investment of this sort and it has not worked out how I originally intended but I am learning from my mistakes and will be making better decisions in the near future What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

Many Smokys owners are having to make a decision in the next 48hrs on having to cancel incoming guests this weekend due to weather/snow event.

As a licensed contractor and real estate agent, I can review your estimates, ask the questions you might not know to ask, and help you make an informed decision that balances cost with quality.

I am open to hear any suggestion or advice to make better investment decisions and get more tax benefits like setting up an LLC .

Like mentioned it's also beneficial to keep up to date with what's happening in the area your STR is located, and make sure the decision makers are aware of hosts and what they bring to the community.

This is why it is sometimes worth your while to delay your tours until you have several lined up over a weekend, and let parties know you'll be making a decision at the end of the weekend.

So for me the decision was pretty straightforward, but it still required a lot of thought.It’s not easy out there these days folks, best of luck!
