AIRBNB

[Frank LaQuaglia]

I have a 3 bd, 1 ba. 1100 sf house in Akron, Ohio that I'm trying to rent. We have had a lot of people come thru and take the application. We think we're priced right at $777.00. 

Someone suggested turning it into an airbag. It would have to be furnished and there would be no guarantee of income.

Has anyone in Bigger Pockets  tried this with a rental?

I own a house in Ocala, FL that was passed to me from grandparents. I don't personally live in it, but trying to rent it out to regular renters it only pulls $950-1000/month, but it ends up vacant for months between renters due to lack of income in the area its located and to far from the main city. Its close to the horse racing area of Ocala, so we put it up for AIRBNB last year for the first time and it booked up December-March @ 4k/Month for the winter circuit with the occasional rent out for a few days a month since.. So in less than a year on AIRBNB ive pulled in 18k in rent vs 11-12k previously..
