According to Pam O’Dell, the Executive Director of the Short-Term Rental Owners Association of Georgia (STROAGA), “We are quickly taking over hospitality markets and our competitors are angry about it! Some want to prevent us from establishing a foothold – others want to tax and regulate us.”
Please join us on Tuesday, August 13th at 1PM at the Short-Term Rental Owners Networking Group where Richard will be joined by Pam O’Dell, who will discuss the importance of identifying local laws and ordinances for short-term rentals in your city and county that may dramatically affect your short-term rental business. They will also cover the current progress with the City of Atlanta and state initiatives with the next session.
If you’re already in the short-term rental business or want to be, RSVP Now and come join us monthly to learn everything you need to know to survive and thrive in this red hot business!
