from Short Term Shopping · host Short Term Shop
Luke and Natalie break down how to shop for short-term rental properties in the Smoky Mountains, emphasizing that tourism is still strong and struggling rentals are often due to poor pricing or management—not demand. They walk through real listings at different price points, explaining what makes a good investment (location, layout, features, and rentability) versus common pitfalls like overly residential homes, poor road access, or misleading bedroom counts. The episode also highlights current market conditions as a buyer’s market, encouraging investors to make multiple offers and prioritize negotiable sellers rather than getting stuck on one deal.
