Hello Bigger Pockets Family,Firstly, I would like to say that this site is absolutely amazing when it comes to generating great forums, information, calculators and anything that comes with investing in real estate.With that out of the way, I will begin, my name is Dakota, and I am currently 19 years old and I live in Western North Carolina.

10 applicants per unit makes me miss being a landlord on the west coast.

Hey Kellyn, I'm not an owner myself (yet), but I've helped clients purchase over 20 STRs in Central Florida and Western North Carolina over the last few years. 

Western part though.  

Hi All -Looking for any experience renting/managing an AirBnb in an Eastern or Western NC small town market.

That being said, if there are any General Contractors in my area of Western North Carolina I would be thrilled to sit down and talk with you for a few minutes.

I’m currently in the Williams, Az market for short term and have a long term rental on the east coast of GA.

I also have 2 STR's in gulf coast markets that have completely different metrics and other SFH's in 4 different states.

If you're investing within 20 miles of the coast, you will likely see rates anywhere from .0085 to .0107 for property, and roughly $65 to $80 per dwelling for liability. 

For example, here in western NC, Highlands and Cashiers (small towns) just outlawed STR, while I was looking at buying an STR next door in Sapphire.
