@Brian Warren. Ask away? Are you saying they won’t cash flow if you LTR them? Probably not a great idea especially if your in a city

@Armando Rodriguez Id suggest listening to all 300 podcasts then come on back and ask some questions. AirBnB is a 2.6 billion dollar company. Of course people are renting homes on it.
Good luck

@Kate Kirsch hit me with a PM and get me on the phone if you have ANY interest in self managing. I’m happy to help. I self manage 11 properties in 3 different markets. I have a day job and a family. And I’m a moron.

@Kate Kirsch. I would hire your iPhone. You’re already paying it so it wouldn’t cost extra. Will take you about 5 minutes per day. I self manage 5 cabins in Gatlinburg Pigeon Forge from a distance and it’s no trouble at all.

@David Schmidt. Yeah, no. What @Chase Cline said is what you want to do. I can’t believe we’re still talking about this 6 months later folks. Call customer service for whichever platform you prefer or call me if you’re having issues.

@Chavez Allen Forgive me for pointing out the obvious but I would start by calling AirBnB customer service and asking them.

@Rodney Morris there’s several thousand “log cabins” in the market. Probably close to 10,000 of them.
