Real estate agents that have short term rental experience?

[Mark Younger]

Hi Everyone,

I hope you're all doing well! I'm currently on the hunt for a knowledgeable real estate agent with expertise in the Atlanta short-term rental market. As a prospective investor, I believe it's crucial to tap into the insights and experience of those who understand the nuances of this dynamic market.

If you are, or if you know of, a real estate agent in the Atlanta area with a strong track record in short-term rentals, I'd greatly appreciate any recommendations or connections. I'm particularly interested in learning about profitable neighborhoods, legal considerations, and property management strategies.

Feel free to respond here or send me a private message if you have any suggestions or insights to share. Your expertise could make a significant difference in helping me make informed decisions in this exciting but competitive real estate sector.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hey Mark, I know quite a bit about STRs in Atlanta. I've studied the local rules and regulations and would be happy to offer some guidance. 

I'll be totally honest, I would not recommend pursuing AirBnB style rentals here. The market is somewhat saturated due to extremely high supply. And frankly, Atlanta is not really a vacation destination. Great place to live, not a great place to visit. Not that you CAN'T make money, I just don't think it's the best strategy at the moment. 

That said, we've had a lot of success with mid term rentals recently. I've been recommending that strategy to all of my clients. 

I'd be happy to help if I can. Please feel free to reach out. Contact info is in my bio
