I only ask because I know this to be an attractive way to get in on a first deal especially.

I like the way you think, STR around known lakes prime for attracting anglers seems like a strategy with significant potential! 

PropertyEvery property is most attractive to a fairly narrow tenant pool.

A home of that value (especially once renovated) will attract high-end renters - usually difficult to find and keep unless you provide the best of the best products and services via property management services.

Gatlinburg and pigeon forge are both popping in weekends pretty much all seasons, and there are plenty of attractions so I'm sure you are going to succeed!!

I may even pay her more if the sale produces any profit, but that depends on who paid the mortage, utilities, and maintenance along the way.Be prepared for her to push back or stay longer.

The split isnt the best but laundry is not about making money it's about providing an amenity to the tenants to make the building more attractive.

What does the property need on the outside/common areas inside to make it attractive to tenants?

From now on I will focus on properties that are near attractions and like you said, have a lot of activity.

Most new LOs burn out and quit within a year or two, half stress out and can't hack it, the other half don't produce an can't hack it for that reason.
