Hello All,I am very new to house investing and just recently make up my mind to seriously looking into STRs.I have been thinking about Great Smoky Mountain, TN area or Destin FL area.

Good Morning,So I have always dreamed of getting a duplex as my first house and to house hack to get my foot in the door in real estate investing.
