If you're looking at buying a rental or house hack in the Triangle, then you should consider short term rentals.  Why? because we have a strong demand for them and great str laws.The Triangle is visited year-round by ...

Metro Atlanta, generally speaking, respective markets 30 to 45 minutes from the City, will be tight on cash flow unless you implement a creative investment strategy, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, or rent-by-the-room properties, or allocate at least 30% to 35% towards your downpayment if you intend to hold the property as a long-term rental.
