East Point / College Park Market

[Jonathan Cheng]

Hi all, I'm looking at a few SFH opprotunities in the East Point / College Park area near the airport / by the 285 Camp Creek exit. How is the market and area there overall in your opinion? Some have suggested targeting short term rentals for incoming professionals (e.g., healthcare, film industry, etc.) vs. long term rentals. Also, curious to see how negative an impact airplane flight paths would have on the rental property in either scenario (i.e., have seen a couple of spots directly in the path of airplanes), thanks!

I own a SFH in East Point less than 3 miles from the airport, right next to the Perimeter (I-285 with a MARTA stop on the street, plenty of shops nearby.

The house was built in 2018 has over 2000 square feet 4 bed 2.5 bath 2 car garage and it rented the week I put it on the market and has had the same tenants ever since. 

It rents for $1,470 a month with the tenants signing a 2 year lease that is due at the end of March.

I've thought about the short term rental approach for this property due to the location, but my tenants have been so good in up keep and paying the rent on time and the fact that they don't want to leave, it might be awhile before I have that option :)
