So the court tells the renters association that's dispersing the money they tell them that they cannot give any more denial letters well so their whole thing about that is they just push everybody out and give them no explanation of any kind of denial they're just biting their time before they can deny so many people each month and get away with it.

I would be interested to hear other investors experience in the area or any insight about the potential return we could be looking at.The appeal of the TN side for us has been the fact that there seems to be demand year round, we literally have over 95% occupancy for all our cabins and are doing better than we ever imagined when we first purchased (hence the reason we want to build our portfolio in the area) It is these reasons that we are very reluctant to even think about moving to another area but I just wanted to do a little background digging to see if it may be worth further investigation.

I would love to put solar panels and do storm water landscaping etc but those are big ticket items, flashy and expensive.

The parts are done.access to the MLS would be the ticket, but access is hard and costly

Look at maybe the surrounding areas that are in the path of progress that is a reasonable drive (you could make a round trip there on any given day).

the sellers are mostly greedy and all they want is that winning lottery ticket, they'd rather take their chances with the appraisal. 

@Christian KimChristian, for conforming loans, you can get away with insufficient trade lines.

I had been looking at the key west, fl area, thinking it should get good year round use, with the exception of when there are hurricanes.

The appraisers are following the actual closings, so something that appraised low 3 months ago is now a comp for the new round of appraisals.  

Presently, it looks like large round bales of hay in the area sell for $50 or more.
