There are a few general requirements such as:Battery Storage Technology: Battery must have a minimum capacity of three kilowatt-hours.Solar Water Heating: The property must be certified by the Solar Rating Certification Corporation (or an entity that is comparable)Geothermal Heat Pumps: At the time the expenditures are made, the heat pump must meet all Energy Star standards that are in effect.Energy Efficient Home Improvement CreditThis tax credit rewards those taxpayers that make upgrades in order to reduce the overall energy consumption of their home.

The biggest difficulty is working with the odd layouts that were designed prior to modern kitchens or heating systems (we actually have the remnants of a coal-fired heating system still).

My suggestions would be the Fredericksburg area, which is conveniently half way in between both as well as the Greater Richmond area.The Fredericksburg area offers the appeal of being conveniently half way between DC and Richmond and has a thriving business/industrial sector including Geico, DHL, McKesson, idX, greenchip, and First Line Technologies along with being home to the University of Mary Washington and Mary Washington Health Care.The Greater Richmond area offers the appeal of being the State Capital, has a strong business/industrial/financial sector including Altria, GE, Meta, Lego, CapitalOne, Carmax, and Brinks to name just a few of the big players. 

I have heard really good things about RentVine and a lot of people are moving over because Appfolio and Propertyware are not responsive to new technologies and slow to update.

My company charges an $85/month technology fee which includes CRM, transaction management software, online support and more.Commission Split: Varies with each brokerage.

Which in return helps make the property more valuable on the open market since it is updated with the modern trends. 

The unit is located on an older property that is “ok” but not modern or renovated.

I found a post from 2011 regarding this topic, but ideas and technology have advanced since then, so I thought I would seek some fresh information from those that have had to deal with this situation. 

Just curious if anyone has experience managing or owning a modern-style or modern-themed cabin in Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg.

Any modern accountant will be able to work with you no matter where you or they are located.
