The sweet spot for us is sub 400k and we are looking mostly in NH, central MA and possibly RI for deals.

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.

This area is not only become a very hot tourist spot but a place to retire and hide.  

I’ve heard a lot about BRRRR, fix-and-flip, and rental properties, but I’m curious about what’s working for you all right now.I know from talking to people that some have gotten into bad deals while using their own money, and I’m worried that using bank funding and ending up in a bad deal could make things even worse—not just for the investment but for the relationship with the bank as well.I’m just trying to make sure my clients use this funding in the right way, without getting themselves into a tough spot.

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

It’s awesome to hear you have a connection to Montana—Bozeman is a great spot!
