Alex Bockey You mentioned it had to be owner occupied that’s all. If you’re saying that’s not the case then I wish you the best of luck! Buy the nice sheets the guests can tell the difference. And get a giant TV they love that.

What Paul Sandhu said.
Also.... this is just a bad idea all around that I’m quite sick of hearing about. Yet another person giving “airbnb” a stereotype when there are those of us out there that follow the rules and play ball with actual “vacation rentals” or in Paula case “short term rentals” for legitimate purposes; not pukers.
If If has to be to primary residence in your market then will get caught. And if you don’t get caught you should have trouble sleeping at night.
I suggest you get a job and save up to buy a property and rent it out instead of trying to take the easy way out and make a buck. And don’t do it on “airbnb” if it’s illegal in your market.
A bit too brutal perhaps. But people like you are trying to ruin it for the rest of us. Call city hall and tell them your plan and see what they think then get back to us.

Bryce Stclair is no slouch. Yes you’re looking at 200k for 1000 sq foot. A well will run you 25k a septic 7-8k. So 230k for 1000 sq ft. If your lucky. There are also several lots available that didn’t burn down. You’re looking at close to 100k for one acre with a decent view. Grand total.... 330k for 1000 sq ft that will rent for $100 per night. Those numbers don’t work for me. And yes you need an acre or more in our market privacy is key. (Again... opinion. Plenty of folks rent cabins in what we call a “cabin camp” there’s also plenty of condo options. Just not my style).
You’re on the right track looking at this area as we have year round bookings and 12 million visitors per year. New construction just doesn’t work for me.
One more thing I’ll add... if yours burned down chances are your neighbors burned down too and who knows how many years it’ll take them to rebuild if ever so your guests are looking at charred remains of a house.
Again these are all opinions. I’d just call Avery and buy one that is still standing. 2 bedrooms are in the 275k area right now and rising. Still cheaper than building!

Hello @Kirankumar Chasia this is my market. As far as realtors you want to talk to Avery Carl you can find her on here.
If it’s me I wouldn’t bother. PPSF is very high to build. Plus I’m really just not a fan of ski mountain where these burnt pads are. And how do you know the well and the septic didn’t also get burned up leaving you to dig some very expensive holes in the ground? I’m not saying it can’t be done but for my time and money I’m going down the street and buying one that’s still standing. I personally prefer pigeon forge anyway.
Now..... on the other hand I do love that you’re interested in coming in and helping rebuild the local economy. The wildfires were a tragedy that our hearts may never recover from.
