I agree with Collin.The Smokies do have a lot of competition, so you need to have a view, decent location, good to great amenities etc to stand out.We have a 6-bedroom cabin there, but I imagine a 3 to 4 bedroom would be in the sweet spot of not too big or not too small.

If not I would recommend looking up other AirBnB owners in the Covington area and simply asking them who they use.

For example some items during the rehab might need to be brought up to code, completely replaced or might break from other rehab going on due to old age.

Cash flow is definitely the biggest challenge; both in terms of finding properties to buy that cash flow with a loan on them and just company wide given interest rates and labor/material is up and, at least where I'm at in Jackson County, MO, taxes are way up too. 

They were up to $345K value for awhile and right now, I believe they'd sell around 305K.
