Is Airbnb Still Worth It in 2025? Atlanta Builders, Owners & Hosts — What’s Your Stra

Renee Adams
Posted

Hey — curious to hear from everyone running Airbnbs or STRs right now, especially here in Atlanta (but anywhere too!).

I work with owners, investors, and new construction builders looking to flip or hold — and short-term rentals come up every week.

 Some say “STR is dead — regulations and taxes are too high, just do MTR.”
 Others say “It’s better than ever — but you need top-tier pricing, design, and management to stay booked and profitable.”

I see both sides — a lot of my clients are pivoting to:

  • 30+ day stays
  • Tiny homes / unique builds on land
  • Co-hosting vs. self-managing
  • Partnering with local pros to stay compliant and hands-off

But I’d love to hear from you — what’s actually working?

  • Are you seeing solid occupancy?
  • How are you handling the new regs and licensing headaches?
  • Is your cash flow better than LTR?
  • Would you still build new just for Airbnb in 2025?

I’ll share what I’m seeing here in ATL once some folks jump in — let’s get the real pulse on this market together.
