@Dawn BrenengenThe other offers consisted of FHA, conventional and VA all within 10k of our $205k asking price.  

@Kent BaltareI agree with @Rob Javins that the area consisting of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and Townsend, TN may be a great fit based on what you described.A client of mine who owns some vacation rentals in Gatlinburg also owns a few in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and he has told me those do very well.
