Newbie looking into getting in Blueridge market

[Sean Powers]

Hey guys looking for some feedback here. Looking at buying first STR that also be used as a vacation spot for my family. 2 questions here

1: how is Blueridge market currently doing? Looking for a 3/3 or 4/3. I have noticed a lot of homes bought late last year now up for sale. Making me curious if that is indicative of the market slowing down in area. 2: we are looking at buying in the $800k-$1.2 range. Seems to be where you find homes with great views. But I am a nervous about biting off a bit too much on my first rental. Any feedback would be appreciated!
