Hello,I have an airbnb that has been doing considerably well in the Atlanta.

So far I can think of:  - Using agency resources to get my RE license - Trying to make connections with agents who work with investors (as opposed to typical homebuyers)  - Learning the local market through osmosis/exposureAny ideas and/or insights would be well appreciated.
