@Nick Velez thanks for the info and I have heard that the Gatlinburg area isn't necessarily a great market for your first investment because of the competition and amenities. What markets would you suggest looking at?

@Tyler Divin I actually have spoken to Ashley before. She is a friend of a friend and I know she does a lot of work in that area. Sounds like you have worked with her as well.

@Matthew Creel thanks for the info. Everything that I have been reading is saying STRs are much better cash flow opportunities than LTRs. Some of the investors I follow like I know have a combination of both it seems like. I would be happy to talk more about locations/communities in the GS/OB area. My family and I have been there the last few years and love that area.

@John Underwood I actually owned a condo here in Ohio that we rented out for a few years and ended up selling. Kicking myself for that now though. I managed that on my own but was obviously easier since it was right down the road.

Quote from @Michael Baum:
Welcome to the forum @Chris Primavera.
Seeing as you are brand new today, it would be good for you to search on the forum for those areas and read everything there is about those markets.
Grab @Avery Carls book Short Term Rentals Long Term Wealth and read it. https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/short-term-rental-l...
It is chock full of info that you need. But really read everything here to get started.

I am located in Ohio and like many people I have researched and read about, tired of the 9-5 grind and putting money into someone else's pockets. I'm looking to create my own wealth and build something for my family. To be honest starting out seems overwhelming and scary especially considering investing much of savings into a property that may or may not be successful. I have researched the different kinds of loans for this but I would love to speak with any lenders or other investors in this area. I am also looking at the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge market as well. Right now I am stuck in the paralysis by analysis phase and am looking for any and all advice.
Thanks!
