As far as STR Zoning: If the property is not in the STR area you technically can not have a STR. That being said, there are STRs all over Savannah. The city has started cracking down, I personally got fined for having one outside the approved area. If you are going to gamble on the STR play, I would be sure the property will cash flow as a long term or you are willing to deal with the vacancies of a mid term. Hope this helps!

great point I did not realize that, thank you! Are there neighboring areas to Savannah that you recommend for an STR to avoid this risk? e.g. Garden City..?

Hi there, I'm new to investing and new to Savannah. I ran the below analysis, can anyone help review and give some pointers on what I'm not thinking about? It seems too good to be true so it probably is :)

Property address: 627 E Anderson St, Savannah GA

Listing price: $429K

4 bed / 3 bath

STR zoning: it looks like it's outside the historic district / any zoned areas so does that mean it's just the $400 STR application cost? (I am not sure here)

AirDNA estimates $133k rev yearly

Assuming 7% interest rate, 20% down, 30% pm cost, 5% maintenance and 5% capex savings, total costs come to ~$6-7K/month

That would make breakeven revenue $70-80k/year which seems like a pretty big cushion with the AirDNA estimate

Thoughts? What am I missing?

Hi everyone! I want to get into the game, but I'm highly risk averse and afraid of biting off too more than I can chew for a first deal. Do y'all think it's realistic to try to find a SFR that does not require a lot of rehab to cash flow? Seems like this might be challenging to make the numbers work with a long term rental, so I'm thinking short term rental. Want to do some quick aesthetic work but not much more. Thoughts on if this is a viable newbie strategy? Ideally in ATL area
