STR in North Georgia because I listened to Robuilt

[Ernes Sahic]

I watched the 3:28:27 YouTube video "How to start an AirBnB business the ultimate free course" Rob posted on his channel Robuit and now feel equipped with everything I need to start my 1st STR. If I fail its Robs fault. Lol. JK. 

SO... I recently relocated to Buford GA for a job. The plan is to use a 5% conventional loan to purchase a Primary residence. My intention is to house hack and eventually STR the property. I want to purchase a property in North Georgia. Budget around $300k.

Are there any members here who currently have Short-term rentals in North GA?

Are you having success? Share your listings I'd love to stay in a couple. 

What towns are popular and attract guests? 

Any Agent or lender recommendations? 

Goal is to purchase a Cabin with some acreage, with the possibility of building additional units. 

Another option is purchasing land to add a type of tiny home, trailer, RV, Etc. 

What should I be looking for when searching for an area to purchase in?

Are there any tools I can use to determine estimated profit? I have played with AirDNA and heard of Pricelabs, but how accurate are these sites with their estimates? Some of the numbers are hard to believe.
