Some have down-zoned their entire ward to keep out congestion, some are happy to attract new investment in the neighborhood.

It's not a hot location, but maybe we could get some traffic during the UT v.

Look for functional traffic ways in the floor plan, no walking throug a bedroom to get to a bathroom.

even though this site and a select few others have amazing traffic and page ranks with google - the local boards are just as important.

I'm not really sure how bad the traffic gets there but if it's anything like Atlanta or DC I want to minimize as much driving time as possible.We have a budget of $1,500/month but we've really been trying to stick in the $12-1300 range.

I have been interested in expanding my long term portfolio as of late (I live in Nashville, and had been looking in this area, where I have 2 LTR's), and after some research found that there is an serious shortage of long term rentals in the Smoky Mountains BECAUSE of all the short term rental traffic. 

If this were me and the location were great I would tie the property up, do a demographic study and prepare a short marketing book including traffic counts, household income in 1-3-5 mile rings, aerial shots showing other retailers in the area,ect.

They are white carpets and always look a darker in traffic areas like the stairs.  

I should say that it's 30 minutes with no traffic - 45+ minutes at rush hour.We are considering putting 2-3 tiny houses on our 35 acre property.  

Traffic Count 3-5K daily.
