Chattanooga Lake House

[Bridget Campbell]

Hello BP community,

I live in Western North Carolina and I am looking to find a lake house in the Chattanooga area. It will be used as a family vacation spot and a short term rental. Is there anyone on the forum who can help?

Thanks guys!

@Demon S Rogers I have not invested in Western NC.  I go there often (was there this weekend) and have for the past 25 years.  Unfortunately, I don't invest in a vacation rental unless I would use it often; just a rule we have which I understand wouldn't apply to most.  There are two factors which have kept me from investing, 1. too far to go after work for one night 2.too many areas to explore to be tied down to one location.  It's an amazing area with the potential for activities besides the lake.  Huge plus in my book.  

I have seriously looked at moving my permanent residence to the water around Chattanooga so I have evaluated it from every angle I can think of. Thus, many of my concerns might not be important for someone who is renting it for a weekend/investing in a STR.
