Anyone investing in short term rentals in Durham, NC?

[Derek Robinson]

I'm looking into the short term rental market in Durham, NC and am wondering if anyone is doing the same thing?  I grew up 30 mins from downtown Durham.  I have family in the area still and would like to balance having a place of our own to stay while putting my money into an asset with possible monthly cash flow.

It's hard to research vacancy rates on airbnb because you can't really be sure if someone's listed house is actually rented or if they are blocking out dates for their own use.

Thanks!
