I've been considering the smokies for an STR investment but I feel the competition is very high right now

Hey everyone,Lately I’ve been scanning for mortgage notes to buy, and it feels like there’s almost nothing out there—almost like sellers are holding tight or just not posting.

I see a lot of newer investors “just get started” with a duplex because the price tag feels safer.But price does not equal risk.Sometimes the smaller multifamily is actually the riskier play.Here is why.1.

But it feels hopeless - the astronomical appreciation here after COVID + property taxes.

I’ve noticed something interesting lately when talking to investors:On paper, a lot of properties still have cash flow.But in real life, it doesn’t feel like it.The issue usually isn’t rent.It’s rising operating friction.Insurance renewals, property taxes, maintenance, utilities, and vendor costs are all quietly eating into margins.

I’m in the process of developing a campground from the ground up, and the more I research and dig into the space, the more it feels like the right fit for how I’m wired.

I definitely understand the feeling of being uneasy. 

OOS make me uneasy... done it one time in TX... didn't like it.

Like the title says, I'm exhausted! Ahhh. Okay, vent over. I've got two properties I'm trying to put into one LLC. I know, I know, break them up for maximum-- I don't care. I already have 50 auto pay bills that I'm go...
