I was wondering if anybody in the Dallas/Fort Worth area has had any success in using their investment properties as Airbnb's. If so I'd be very interested in meeting up as I'm thinking of going this route after listening to the BP podcast from last week featuring Zeona McIntyre.

When weighing the option of Short term, vacation rental vs. long term rental, where do you find vacancy rates for short term properties?

@Account Closed said is that I have a hard time believing you can find a nice townhouse for $300k in a B area in Philly. You also need to make sure there is enough of a draw to that neighborhood to get STR demand. If you want to test your theory, you could try an arbitrage model in one of the neighborhoods you're looking to invest in. Go to a long term rental listing and offer them $100/month more than their advertised price if they let you sublet to STR's.
