Hello everyone! I am new to BiggerPockets but am diving deep into the Real Estate life. I have the opportunity to buy a 1B/1B cabin in Kenai Alaska. This is a small small cabin but in a great location if you love to get off the grid and go fishing. My question to the group is if I should rent or try the Air B&B route? I live in Missouri so I would be long distance and need a property manager either way. Thank you for the read!

@Joshua Mitchell I am not sure if you already pulled the trigger on this property or not but it sounds pretty sweet. I live in Kenai and own a 7-plex here. I purchased it last October and I have recently started using it as a short term rental on AirBnB during the summer months. I think that the market for short term rentals up here in the summer is great but in the winter it mostly dries up. I do think that there is a good middle ground to use the properties as short term rentals in the summer and long term rentals in the winter.
