If you read on here long enough, you'll quickly see arbitrage is not a ideal path to take. 

I would look in tourist friendly areas. National parks and beaches are never a bad thing 

Your most important first line of defense to protect you from troublesome guests is your listing. 

Make sure you are clear and concise and use simple wording. No fluff. Explain it to them like they are 5. 

And also make sure you send a message immediately upon booking with your RA. 

Typically this helps ward off those bad guests and the ones who will be trouble are going to cancel once they see that RA and realize they have to sign it or they are going to keep scrolling before booking. 

TLDR- Try SuperHog for direct booking protection 

I would look in market specific fb groups and also airbnb/str fb groups

 I have three there! The Short Term Shop operates in this area and can help you out, also in Blue Ridge too!

Professional photos for sure! 

Also, a well organized and easy to digest listing. Guests don't want to read through paragraphs - they want quick bullet points so they can make a quick choice about where they want to stay. 

Upward and onward IMO.
