Hello Everyone, I am new to Short term Rentals. Currently, I do have my property listed at a very competitive rate as I believe. Yet I still, do not see alot of exposure on my listing on the map in Airbnb. Please give me some advice on the best approach? Also can you share me the best software to manage pricing? Currently, I am using Airbnb smart pricing. Thank you so much! 

I would definitely try different routes as pricelabs. Very inexpensive cost for return. The next level up is hiring a revenue management company or VA to do this for you. This will have a higher expense buy may very well be worth it for your listings and companies health and growth. 
I have hired a revenue management and listing optimization company that tracks all of this for me on a daily basis. Message me if you'd like their contact.

I recommend Pricelabs.com  at the very minimum especially with only a few properties. At some point you'll grow big enough to hire someone to run Revenue management for you whether that be a third party(BNBlbs) company or VA. 

I also recommend signing up and paying for a site called rank breeze. This will track your listing and let you know where you are within airbnbs algorithms. 

Im happy to answer and questions about STRs. I own and manage a portfolio of my own in 5 different markets across the southeast. If you're interested in any market in Georgia I can help there as well.

Hello Dustin

I was wondering if you know if Fannin county limits the number of STRs to 5% of total housing units similar to Union county? 

thank you

Fannin county does not have that regulation that Union county has. There are other counties in sub markets in north GA that have put max restrictions on how many STRs they are allowing.
