The behemoth cabins in the Smokies are super cool, but other than high season, it's mostly weekends.

VERY cool strategy and progression story.

Quote from @Aaron Wolman: I would call the companies (gas/water/electric) to get estimates, or an estimator out there.

Quote from @Devin James: Quote from @Scott Mac: Maybe the infrastructure, electrical grid, water sewer, pavement thickness on the roads, cannot handle the extra people in the area.

Be sure to have the gas, water and sewer lines inspected as these may be dug up or collapsed - and very expensive to replace/repair.

Alpine is a cool town!

:)As for LTR rental terms, usually we sign a 1 year lease where tenants are expected to pay Electric and Gas if applicable, while the owner typically pays water/sewer/trash with the city. 

Your question about hydrostatic pressure is getting into the weeds for sure...I would ask myself, does the potential water infiltration have the possibility to damage the unit and tenant property?  

I've also leveraged that capability to build some pretty cool dashboard on my end to occupancy, revenue, and cancellation rates across all platforms. 

Your new pocket neighborhood sounds really cool.
