Air Bnb stories / Vacation Homes / rentals

[Jordan Thompson]

I have traveled Europe and stayed in multiple homes using Air BnB.  I am very interested in Buying a property for the sole purpose to use on Air BnB.  I'm looking into the Tennessee area or any mountainous areas near popular tourist locations.  Can anyone share their experience.  I currently have a few multifamily residential's (triplex and a duplex). I am very interested in vacation rentals / short term mentors.

@Jordan Thompson  I live in Nashville and visit the smokies throught the year. I also have a friend who owns a cabin there, it's slightly different than Airbnb as most people register there cabins with a local company like Airbnb like small mom and pop companies who act as a property management company and a rental agent. Also most people prefer to stay in a cabin over a chalet because the cabins feel more like you are living in the mountains. But the cabins are generally more expensive. And 3 bedroom cabins seem to book up the fastest and most often compared to the large ones or the really small ones.
