Why Local
An asset is only as good as the people behind it
Local expertise
We know the Smokies at the property and neighborhood level, views, drive times, amenities and the family demand behind every booking.
Basis advantage
We source projects, so we are not limited to reselling whatever happens to be listed on the MLS.
Operational control
We know what happens after closing, because our own team designs, furnishes and operates the cabins.
Choice of ownership
Buy a cabin you can walk through, or invest passively alongside the team doing the work.
Two ways in
Own a cabin yourself, or own a share of the portfolio
Most people arrive wanting a Smoky Mountain cabin. Some want the keys; some want a stake in a portfolio of them. One short call sorts out which fits.
Done with you
Buy your own cabin
Through Local Realty Group, our brokerage and the original business, you buy a property you can walk through, title in your name. We help you find it, and our team helps connect you with partners to design, furnish, maintain, and operate it after closing.
- You hold the deed and control the asset
- Full income and full responsibility for one property
- Best if you want something you can touch
Done for you
Invest in a LOCAL Partner Fund
A fund open to accredited investors. Capital builds new cabins and buys and remodels underperforming ones across the Smokies. We rent them to vacationers and pay investors quarterly from the cash flow.
- Quarterly distributions from operating cash flow
- About 10 year hold, then sale or refinance with the gain split
- Best if you only want the return, not the work
How it works
The LOCAL Partner Fund
A structured way to participate in professionally developed and operated STR assets across the Smoky Mountains, without managing a single property yourself.
