This may be easier to find in smaller towns or rural areas.Growth potential: Research areas with growing populations or emerging business districts.Tax incentives: Some localities offer incentives for small businesses or specific industries.Infrastructure: Ensure reliable internet and necessary utilities for your business.Potential locations to explore:Atlanta suburbs: Consider areas like Decatur, Marietta, or Lawrenceville for a balance of affordability and proximity to the city.South Carolina: Look into growing areas like Greenville, Rock Hill, or smaller towns in the Upstate region.North Carolina: The Research Triangle area (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) offers opportunities, as do smaller cities like Asheville or Wilmington.Remember to thoroughly research local building codes, zoning laws, and business regulations in any area you're considering.

Hey @Robert Rixer, there are a few in FtL @George Munoz and @Scott Kidd are hosts of a couple meet ups.

You don't see the CIO of an endowment putting their sponsors on blast for the entire internet to see (at least that I know of).  

Perhaps someone with more intimate knowledge of the area can validate or dispel the type of neighborhood this is but it’s normally not good if that’s one of the first things to populate on the internet.

I accidentally found an apartment on the internet buy the building next to me in my old neighborhood.

You could also try seasonal decorations, like for Halloween or Christmas, to make your property stand out.For help managing the STR, look into property managers who specialize in short-term rentals or join local real estate groups to connect with experienced hosts.

I own a property in the Disney market and co-host/manage another 25 in the area.Disney I think is a good market if your goals are more aligned with traditional long term real estate goals, and a bad market if your goals are more immediate gratification and short term cash flow.The major benefit of the Disney market is that it's about the safest market you can find from a long-term perspective. 

You resort to the internet.

Hey hosts! 

Hi, I'm considering buying a property and would like to connect with fellow hosts in the area.
