As a first-time rental property investor, I am currently in the process of evaluating a potential investment opportunity and seeking guidance on an aspect of property layout.

If I jump back into that arena, I'd love to get your advice!

BTW, I'm neither a real estate agent, nor lender, just an O'ld Fart who loves discussing real estate.  

I love the Gatlinburg area and have my sights set on that area to invest in a property.

Would appreciate any and all suggestions and guidance!

Plus, buy in a rapidly appreciating part of town, and you'll really reap your gains when you sell or refinance down the road.Here's an active property that I love right now:https://www.redfin.com/CA/Los-Angeles/1167-Geraghty-Ave-9006...Very affordable (for LA standards) and in the improving neighborhood of City Terrace.

Would love to connect and chat about all things real estate in the area.

I've invested in tons of assets over time, I've missed some by being cute, I've regretted some, I ended up loving some more than I thought.

I would love to find a software to help automate the following tasks, there are lots of options, most at $40/month, would prefer cheaper but will probably pay this for the best software that can best handle:- creating a direct booking website from my Airbnb listing, I know some websites have an auto-builder which would be preferred- handling automated messaging- handling calendar and payments, including add-ons- sending agreements and collecting and returning depositsI am overwhelmed with the options and suffering analysis paralysis. 

I love to see projects work out and I have been a HML for 20 yrs and also flip houses on the side.
