Test AirBnb market in small town

[Andrew S.]

Hey BP,

I'm considering converting a unit in my quadplex to an AirBnb rental. It's a small town of 2500 people that had a gross motel in town. There's minimal to no other options for short term stay in town. I don't want to purchase the additional furniture before I have a good feeling there's some interest.

I'd like to post pictures with furniture to gauge interest. Is it acceptable to find pictures of what could be similar AirBnb properties, download them, and then post availability online?

The questionable things I see are using others photos and having to decline all applicants because the property won't exist. 

Thanks
