 I have no idea who they are but I assume they are in Blue Ridge and I'll Google them. Lol Thank you.

 I've been working with her for 4 months. When we started, I presented her with a power point of exactly what I'm looking for and I have a Google spreadsheet of properties that I share with her because I'm that nerd.

I have been pre-approved certified for a loan. I've made one back up offer with earnest money (because someone got to it sooner) and another offer that got out bid. 

I have driven HER around and have taken HER to lunch to show my appreciation and also to show that I"m serious and so she won't give up on me.  

Unfortunately, the majority of houses I share with her go pending before she gets around to inquiring or setting up an appointment. 

I've been working with a lovely agent for about 4 months now to buy my first STR property in the North Georgia mountains, but it feels like I'm doing all the work. She has me on an email drip but the criteria stinks and I can't even search for things, so I basically find homes on my own (Zillow or Realtor.com) and she makes appointments. It's exhausting because I have a full time job.

Recently, I found out that she does NOT pay for the MLS to have access to Blue Ridge, GA, a big area of interest for me.

My agent says that she can contact agents and still book appointments for properties I send her, but I think I'm missing out on opportunities. I have two properties I really want to see, and after 5 days, she has not heard from the selling agent.

Would she have more success booking appointments if she had access to the Blue Ridge MLS?

Should she have a more active role in helping me finding vacation investment property?

Am I being too impatient?

I hate to give up on her. I mean she has already showed me a handful of properties and spent at least three full days on the weekend driving all over North Georgia, so I'd feel crappy replacing her at this point.

I'm a newbie investor in North Georgia mountains and Western NC. I use the free version of AirDNA as my primary tool for estimating rental potential. However, sometimes, I'm really surprised at the results. It spits out either very disappointing numbers in areas I think would be popular, and in some cases, spits out high numbers in areas I don't think would be successful at all. Also, I notice that I don't always get the same result when I plug in the same address on a different day. 

How much faith should I put into this free tool? 

Thank you Michael. I've been using the tool as a determining factor for purchasing STR property. When I run out of free samples, I just go here and run the tool with on this BP widget. I estimate from airdna that the net amount is roughly 30% less than the gross figure. So, I'll just take 30% off what the BP widget says.

Hi Folks!

Does anyone know if the estimate figure given on this page is net or gross?

Net or Gross? 

Thank you!

 But I'm not interested in flipping. I'm interested in holding and renting. 

I only have 40k to get started on my first brrrr. So, if I put down 20% on a 230k property, that's it. I've blown my wad in a down payment. How do I move on to the next property with no more capital to invest?

@Nicolas Biangel Yes, I'm looking in North Georgia and North Carolina. Maybe Tennessee as well.
