@Juvawn Parker I can connect you with some local hard money lenders if you'd like.

@Chris DeTreville yes, I definitely think we can help @Aaron Oetting get going with STR rentals via Benebu.

Aaron, do you have time tomorrow or Monday to hop on a call with Chris and I. We are an investment brokerage that specializes in SFR, mostly LTR, but have a STR arm that handles everything from management to renovation and maintenance. Would love to see if we can help. Thanks.

@Juvawn Parker all of the markets you've selected are all great investment markets and so long as you have the right team in place, you most likely won't go wrong investing in any.  However, I'm adding in another vote for Augusta, GA.  

Reasoning is simply the growth.  Rental rates and appreciation are playing catchup and on the rise.  Too many great employers in the area with a foundation of medical, military and cyber that won't disappoint!  A new cyber company just created 200 new jobs.  An Amazon shipping facility is coming to the area as well. 

And yes, things can still be had in the $50k range in Augusta, but if you look to the higher end of your range, you'll be in great shape.  Let me know if I can help in any way.

A little biased, but happy to discuss Auben Realty and answer any questions.  

@Winn Merwin feel free to reach out. We've started a STR management company and use a separate lease agreement with different terms than a traditional LTR. We treat it totally different as many of the conditions and circumstances are more dynamic than traditional rentals. We've been marketing to try and attract the 1-6 month rental range and have had great luck in attracting residents in the Cyber community.

To answer the question specifically, I'd agree with what the others mentioned and perhaps charge a cancellation fee that's outlined in the lease agreement.  If the transaction was completed through Airbnb, they should handle most of the issue.

@Earnest Powell were you able to get your project up and running?  If not, I know of several in the area.

@Winn Merwin, thanks for the referral!

@Chad Wiggins happy to hop on a call and discuss more about what you're looking to do and how we can help.  Not too many markets greater to invest in than Augusta right now!

@Jimmy Pruitt I'm a little biased, but Auben Realty could help you with that.  Let me know if I can help you out there.

@Josh Curtis check out Huggins Peil or Wright McCleod.

@Frank Cesarone we are in Charleston, Greenville most likely next year for us.  Would love to get on a call to discuss.  Thanks.

@Phil Martin assuming you are working on base, you'll most likely be looking in the Grovetown area, although there are a lot of other zip codes close by.  What criteria do you have in what you're looking for?
