10 WAYS TO GET STARTED IN VACATION RENTALS WITH SOUTHERN BELLE

It is an exciting time to become part of the growth in Savannah and Tybee Island as a travel destination. Vacation homes in Savannah and Tybee are turning into viable investment opportunities for those who take the time to study this niche market.

Home Owners

1. UNDERSTAND YOUR INVESTMENT GOALS

There are different approaches to managing your vacation homes as Savannah or Tybee Island rentals. Some investors may consider the property as a 100 percent investment, in which case, our job is to keep it fully rented. Other property owners may want to block off parts of the year to use the property for their regularly scheduled Georgia vacations. Southern Belle does not limit owner usage of your property.

2. TAKE THE TIME TO FIND THE BEST PROPERTIES

Finding viable Savannah and Tybee vacation rentals requires help from local real estate experts who are plugged in to the market and understand the local requirements for short term rental properties. Our in-house brokerage firm, Savannah Real Estate Company, specializes in short-term rental sales. With many years of experience in real estate and property management, we can help you find the right vacation home for your investment goals. If you are already working with a broker, you can still take advantage of our expertise.
