So I'm actually going to target the north GA mountains and see how that goes.  

The government is a democracy, they use the US dollar, have 6 easy residency options. low cost of living, low inflation comparatively,wonderful weather, city, mountain and beach opportunities.

We have 2 properties in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and one property in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. 

I already have the Lake House and the mountain cabin. 

I live in CO and my mountain property has water under it but is about 50k to drill, since we plan to rent it we are putting forth the money but also doing a rainwater collection system for the garden (in CO we can only collect up to 110gal)

Of course, you have the drive to the mountains for the Big Trees, Hume Lake, King's Canyon, etc.  

I'm not having any luck selling it so I'm thinking of pivoting to a midterm and short term rental as a buddy of mine has had some success with his house in Paris Mountain and the 09 zip code in Greenville.

In the mountains I imagine it is a hot tub, views etc.Using a tool like AirDNa can cut down on research time sifting through listings and gives you a better idea of occupancy. 

For example, in a mountain market you may not need a pool but here in phoenix its a must for an str.

I have two 1/1s in a high cost mountain resort area, and they have rented out just fine to the right guest profile.
