I'm currently looking to invest in a home as a short-term/vacation rental property. I'm looking at properties in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area of Tennessee. I'm not local to that area & was wondering if anyone could suggest a good management company in the area. Thanks!

@Clinton Titlow. Hello! You’re looking for @averycarl she’s top dog.

As far as management, if you hire a PM, any PM, you won’t get much of a return. This generally holds true for any market.

If one must use a PM (High level executive working 80 hours per week that just wants a home in the mountains for example) we recommend TurnKey or Evolve. The locals charge 30-40% and they don’t even use Airbnb. And the good news is, they’re you’re competition. Stay away from mom and pops.

Self management around here is easy. And no you don’t have to change sheets from halfway around the world. You hire someone to do it for you!

I’ve got 5 cabins in the market. 13 doors in other markets. All of which are self managed. I have a family. A day job. I’ve run 24 full marathons. I eat lightning and crap thunder.

Happy to help just ask away.
