there just isnt a whole lot of things in that area that scream the need of a STR. not saying you cant get renters, there just isnt a lot to attract them. 

The grays I'm not a fan of, they scream investor and I want a softer look in the home. 

I'm hoping that someone here can offer some advice on a rather uncommon situation.I'm an Aussie passport holder with a non-immigrant b1/b2 US visa, so in simple terms I'm a foreign visitor in the USA.

Since its opening in April of last year, it has brought 400,000 more visitors to Montgomery.

The issue is that there are pockets of restrictions all around Lake Hamilton so it would pay to have a local agent right away who is familiar with the STR market around there.Hot Springs National Park has around 2m visitors a year so that will be a big draw.Crime is on the higher side vs other areas of the country, but that is pure statistics.

There are places you can save money, but your furniture and decor look cheap and not screaming dream and fantasy.

I am still trying to learn the bookkeeping/accounting side of it so that my CPA won't scream at me come tax time!

As the city experiences heightened attention and an influx of visitors, local businesses thrive, and the economy receives a boost.

But....that's how we get those screaming great deals, right? 

If you find a screaming good deal, you won't be short of buyers.
