I echo everyone else's sentiments.

In turn our revenue has increased by about 18% so far.In my opinion, your specific market and your pricing strategy are going to determine these statistics more than the overall sentiment about AirBnB or the other booking platforms.

But I think its probably a west coast and upper east coast sentiment were properties have gone nuts..

Along the sentiments of previous replies, your first concern is pretty straightforward to address.

@Scott Trench expressed a lot of my sentiments except for one major one.  

I completely disagree with this sentiment.

My sentiments exactly Alex! 

Community sentiment still has some negative thoughts, which translates to good buys for those with vision.

Its a vacant home with the mortgage wrapped up into the current owners new home (didn't want to get rid of it originally for sentimental reasons). 

I agree with a lot of the sentiments regarding risk as it makes sense that with 2,3-4,12 tenants you can afford a little vacancy from time to time easier.One thing I haven't seen mentioned that also makes sense to me is the valuation of properties if you go truly commercial in that the value is based on actual income generated similar to any other business as opposed to what your neighbor sold for.
