Living in Atlanta and running Airbnb cabins in Gatlinburg/Pforge

[Joshua Feit]

Hi everyone!

I've been investing in Atlanta for four years, and I'm branching out into the VR business. I have my first cabin on Airbnb now, and I have a second one under contract.

I'm interested in networking with other people in Atlanta who are getting into the VR biz in the Smokies. I thought it might be helpful and fun to get together sometime and help each other out with strategies, favorite contractors, etc.

Anyone interested in meeting up sometime to talk shop?

Cheers,
Josh

@Julia Fair @Joshua Feit I agree, cabin decor is not my first choice. I have had several clients do complete aesthetic overhauls on their purchases. Subway tile, freestanding tubs, everything. However, this is a market where rustic is the norm.  Those friends and clients have spent tens of thousands on modernizing the aesthetics of their properties. Unfortunately they haven't really been able to get proportional price per night above other cabins with the same occupancy to justify the amount of capex spent. So my advice is "if it ain't broke..."  If you are buying your property as a vanity project, then great!  If not, just enjoy investing in a market where you don't HAVE to have the trendiest finishes to be successful!
