I believe Galveston is an area more setup for STR’s, but I still have a lot of research to do.

@Rob Dold in my area the actual abstractors who do the search charge about $75.

I love house hacking in Columbus because you can get into the higher priced areas and leverage your money very effectively. 

I'd love to discuss issues like seasonality, management, and flood insurance with anyone who operates in the area.

Start by reaching out to local hard money lenders in your area.

I live in the Tampa Florida area and we have Airbnb/STRs all over the county and not just on the beach. 

I am a Realtor in the Indianapolis, IN area.

I would 100% stay go with the professional service because at the end of the day the tenants will not repair it like a professional will but on the other hand would that be legal in your area??????

Many of my clients in Avondale and areas along the blue line have seen the strongest growth. 2 years ago rehabbed 2/1s we got $1750 in Avondale this year we got $2100 with 10 applications same unit.

Does anyone know about the reputation of New Western in the Atlanta Georgia area?
