If you’ve been thinking about investing in real estate, now may be the perfect time to consider a short-term rental property in Cobb, Cherokee or Bartow County. With the right home in the right location, you can generate over $50,000 a year in rental income—and we’re here to show you how.

Why Cobb, Cherokee or Bartow?

Located just 25 minutes south of LakePoint Sports Complex in Cartersville, GA, both counties are ideally positioned for short-term rental success. LakePoint is one of the nation’s premier youth sports destinations, attracting over 2.5 million visitors annually for tournaments in baseball, softball, volleyball, basketball, and cheerleading.

With that level of traffic, the demand for nearby housing is sky-high—especially during peak tournament weekends when local hotels often sell out. Many families prefer renting a home with space to spread out, cook meals, and relax after long days at the field. This creates a prime opportunity for investors looking to tap into the short-term rental market.

💰 Let’s Talk Numbers

You don’t need a million-dollar property to see a strong return. In fact, a well-designed single-family home priced around $450,000 can generate $50K or more per year in short-term rental income, depending on location, design, and amenities. We’re seeing this happen regularly with properties in areas like Acworth, Woodstock, Canton, and Kennesaw.

Want to know what separates a high-earning rental from the rest? It’s all in the details.

🏡 What Makes a Great Short-Term Rental?

If you want to stand out and command top nightly rates, your home should offer features that cater to traveling families and sports teams. These include:

• 4+ bedrooms or bunk-style sleeping arrangements

• Themed kids’ rooms or game rooms for downtime between games

• Outdoor amenities like grills, fire pits, or patios

• Smart TVs, fast Wi-Fi, and fully stocked kitchens

• Easy self-check-in and a professionally staged appearance

When a home is marketed well and meets these criteria, it not only stays booked—it gets great reviews and repeat guests.
