Less common STR ideas?

[Lewis Vine]

Hi folks,

Does anyone have STRs in the Columbus, GA area? I'm a new investor considering some "un-traditional" STR locations, and, being a vet who went through training at Fort Benning, thought it might be a good area for the following reasons:

(1) Massive, semi-transient military presence, with potential for LTR.

(2) Local state university, with potential for student rental

(3) Tons of training on Fort Benning, meaning weekly graduations and families coming into town, potential for STR.

My first thought was STRs targeting families in town for military graduations, but it seems it would be easy enough to pivot to LTR's as well, with the student and military population.

Anyone tried this?  I know as a former contracting business owner "creative" or "new idea" isn't always best, but am curious to here from folks.
