Savannah vacation rental properties

[Jon Fox]

We moved to the Savannah area (from Wilmington, NC) and wanted to buy a house/condo downtown to rent out and be able to use occasionally .  I recently found that the property has to have the Short Term rental Certificate or you can not rent it out for less than 6 months.  A real Estate agent told me they cap each section of Savannah at 20% of the homes and there is no availability at least in the historic district.  I was wondering if anyone has experience with this.   It obviously has some value to it, but is it even worth getting on a waiting list?    If anyone has properties they are want to sell with the certificate in place, please let me know.   Thanks.
