Does anyone have any experience owning/operating a short term rental in Blue Ridge (or surrounding areas)?

You'll have to convince private money investors you have the knowledge, skills, talents, expertise and drive to help their money do just that. 

"Buildable infill lots," would that include lots surrounding a golf course?

Surrounded by schools, close to hospitals and freeways. 

If they are still being used does any one have an idea of the pay range for standard drive by BPO's and interior BPO's?

Hi Mikey,Great to see your passion and drive in real estate!

Here is my situation:- I'm a W2 employee that earns north of $500k a year- My wife is a stay-at-home-spouse- I'm looking to buy ~ $1,000,000 in STR Real Estate by the end of the year (as an investment and to offset my tax bill)I'm fairly well versed in the rules surrounding using STR to offset active income.

Meaning, can anyone show you where it says driving 30 miles per hour in a 35 MPH zone is legal?

There has been significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up operations (2 data centers), driving up property prices and job opportunities.

For me its realatviley close to my primary location which I would like to be in decent driving distance for out of state investments.
