Thanks for all your help and advice! I think I'm going to attempt the STR route for the remainder of the year and then reassess if I should switch back to Long term leases after that. Thankfully, it's a split level home and I've made the downstairs into a separate unit with private entrance for my personal use and would not have any shared spaces with guests. I also was already renting out the rooms furnished, so it wouldn't be too much more capital upfront. I'm excited to try it out and will share updates!

Hi all! First time post here - I am currently house hacking my 5bed 3 bath, renting out 3 beds and 2 baths as individual units in South Decatur (20 min drive to downtown Atlanta and the airport). I've had a multitude of issues with my tenants over the past year, and will not be renewing any of their leases. I am now trying to assess whether I should continue with long term leases (hopefully with better tenant screening this time) or if I should go the AirBnb route. Do y'all have any suggestions on tools I could use to assess how my property might perform on Airbnb vs long term leases? Thanks in advance for your help!
