Not sure how many STRs you have thus far, but if you are just starting out, I highly recommend looking into the mountain markets due to year round tourism, it is the safest route into the short term rental world in my opinion and markets like the Smokies and Blue Ridge, GA are established and could end up a much lower risk!

I send all the people with big dogs, multiple big dogs, pigs, snakes, alligators,  bad credit, etc to Zillow....and the good corporate or super solid blue collar tenants come thru other realtors looking at MLS.   

Blue as hell in the cities.... but it sometimes feels even more red than the Midwest when I go on a road trip and stop for gas in some of their smaller cities.

You can discuss the policy but do not bring Dem/Rep/Trump/Biden/Conserv/Lib/Red/Blue into this conversation.

I live in Forsyth County and operate my business throughout north metro ATL as well as Blue Ridge market for short term rentals.

Here are some general details:- house is in West Hartford in a great location within walking distance of Blue Back Square- it is a duplex, but a little funky.

I definitely would not even think about that in a Blue state!

I know there is an existing mortgage, and I'm going to see if any other liens which I'm going to check with the county Monday for estimated amounts. is there anything, like out of the blue, that I should be thinking or considering about?

Landscaping would pop with blue and purple flowers. 

However, all the time has run out and she contacted me out of the blue a couple weeks ago and said they were in process of foreclosing and wanted to sell me the house.
