STR ban in Woodfin NC

[Kenneth Woodruff]

Hi all, I have a friend and fellow investor in NC who has a STR in Woodfin, NC (North of Asheville), he called me today and said there was a town hall meeting last night and the town is going to ban all STR's in Woodfin. He has his highest producing unit in Woodfin and is concerned for sure; my concern is if this idea spreads as we have a property in Fletcher, which is south of Asheville. Any thoughts on ability to fight changes like this or are we stuck with the outcome? He said there was some pushback from a few owners and contractors so they have given a 30 day window to apply for a STR license, but they gave no criteria. The main complaint was from residents and typical, noise, unknown visitors, property values hurt, etc...

Would love not know opinions, especially from anyone local.
