Also don’t forget landscaping and general pest control (termites) if applicable.

Waynesville, a great neighboring town just outside Buncombe that's been pretty great for STR, is starting to talk of a similar ban.

Thats the wicker, buck town, logan , and now Avondale expansion.  

And i found launch control but the minimum is $500 a month, but they use cross-referencing data across sources to find the most accurate contact information by using a person's name and address to find their phone number, real address and email by accessing public databases, phone number directories, credit reports, utility bils, public tax records, and social media profiles. this is waaay expensive for me as a beginner. what do you suggest or if anyone has any suggestion I'd greatly appreciate it.??

Every Week I scan the MLS, navigating cities and towns in South Florida that are friendly (and not friendly) toward short term rentals.

The way I countered this (still not as good as buying a note with idle cash but I have checkbook control) is the money paid out from a note fund I invested in is at Axos bank.

Like you I also have the RE license to keep some of the commissions and better control. 

Also Chip and Joann Gaines and put this town on the map with their show on TV.

A couple of Roof claims due to storm damage in Tucson, and we had several sub-to deals in Oklahoma when grapefruit size hail decimated a big section of the whole town. 

Pricing tools that exist on the market are decent, but you also need to know how to control it, otherwise, it will go nuts with unrealistic rates far out and extreme last-minute discounts.
