I would love advice on purchasing my first STR in the Blue Ridge, GA area. I have a couple I am taking a hard look at, but this will be my first STR away from my comfort zone in LTR. Any advice from experienced STR investors?

Advice: don’t buy in Blue Ridge. I was super close to pulling the trigger in that market but got boots on the ground and learned what’s happening from local hosts. Some of the most beautiful cabins in the country that are mostly vacant outside peak weekends… This is why the prices look surprisingly low for high quality cabins.
