I am finding it hard in the Smokys to find a property to have our requirements (views, great design and quality construction) for a reasonable price.

These websites are designed for viewers to believe they own hundreds and sometimes even thousands of apartment units to boost credibility.

Adding to what others have said here - we are not in an "everything bubble" as some have said.

I specialize in STR design and I thought it would be helpful to hear what real investors are considering or concerned about.

That kitchen and bath focus is gold around here, especially with the value investors are placing on thoughtful, high-quality updates that stand out in a competitive rental or resale market.I’m in the property management and investment side of things, and it’s always refreshing to cross paths with someone who gets both the design and the dollars.

My background blends wellness, landscape architecture, and nature-based design.

I ended up designing my own  

Please note the information provided below is a layman's definition designed to provide a basic understanding for the general audience.

In most tourist areas I travel - there are examples of properties that have been transitioned and re-invested, re-branded, designed and essentially converted into individual listings on AirBNB and generally perform well.

And given their monthly costs, I decided to host and design the site myself primarily with some outside tech assistance (because I knew I'd come in at a better price point and could build it the way I wanted).Some things to keep in mind- what's your exit plan?
