My background is in Corporate accounting and finance and I currently work FT in Corporate real estate finance. 

Local governments in two of the NC counties bordering the Great Smoky Mtn National Park have enacted a indefinite moratorium on STR's including motels/hotels and anything under 30 days not directly related to business travel.  

Some national lenders may go to 80%, but it will be expensive and may not cash flow.  

Tough in my region with a relatively short season so looking at options to bump ROI through off season occupancy via corporate tenants, school teachers, etc..

What was already an off-the-chart high rental demand is even more so and our year-over-year rent price increases are second in the nation.

The current Cap Rate was around 13.6% and the ability to grow to about 17.76% with some work and updates allowing to bring the rent rates up the the National County average in my State.

Here's a clip from the article in the Gazette:  Colorado Springs continues to be one of the country’s hottest housing markets, a federal report released this week shows.Local home prices spiked 11% in the fourth quarter of 2019 when compared with the same period a year earlier, an increase that ranked No. 2 among the nation’s 100 largest metro areas, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency.Only Boise City, Idaho, with a 12.7% gain in home prices, had a larger increase on a year-over-year basis, the agency’s report showed.

I am not naive to think that this doesn't happen, however, if an agent is a member of the National Association of Realtors, this behavior is a clear violation of the code of ethics and there are simpler remedies that sueing.
