February 22, 2025 | Issue #107 |
INVESTOR’S EDGE EXCLUSIVE
Hey, friend! In 2023 alone, Tennessee saw a 22% increase in STR revenue, fueled by a never-ending wave of vacationers flocking to the Smokies, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg
Today’s featured property features two bedrooms, a loft, a fully equipped kitchen, a fire pit for late-night s’mores, and an arcade game setup because, well, nostalgia sells. For under $400K and with an expected 20% cash-on-cash return, this is the gateway property into short term rentals you’ve been waiting for.

In addition to today’s featured property, we have an existing short term rental averaging more than $70K in bookings annually in Tampa and a lakeside masterpiece in Minnesota on 3.5 wooded acres. These and more shared exclusively with Investor’s Edge readers.

Buying a short term rental doesn’t need to be complicated. But, with more than 14,000 listings hitting the market every single day, the likelihood of you finding the right home at the right time feels damn near impossible.
You need to find the right location.
With the right unit economics.
And, the right style.
It’s tough.
But, when you do… it’s a game life changer.
The last Airbnb I purchased provides a 16.99% Cash on Cash return with $15,700+ in annual free cash flow after my mortgage and all expenses…
I hope this is a resource that saves you time, so you can make decisions in minutes and avoid missing out on the property that will change your life.
