AirBnb - Getting Started/Southeast USA (Florida/Carolina/Tenn

[Khurram Thobhani]

Hi All - I currently live in Atlanta Georgia and am looking to get into Airbnb preferably in the Southeast. A little about myself, I have done consulting for the past 10 years (internal and external) and I currently own three properties. Two cash flowing townhomes and a third primary residence that’s being built (closing in a month and half). With COVID boom, this property has already appreciated $70+K which is great.

Anyways, I would like to add to my real estate portfolio but am looking to go a little bigger and take more risk and increase cash flow. I like the idea of Airbnb / short term rentals. I really like the Destin area but am open to the whole Southeast. I’d love to hear people’s experience in how to get started, where to focus my efforts, and the best way to get an education on short term Airbnb rentals. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also new to this BP but happy to connect 1:1 if needed. Thanks!
