re: Vacation home as an investment

I rent out a house on airbnb in Florida. Its a pain in the arse constantly having to respond to guests, issues, etc, but the biggest thing is you need to be able to trust your cleaners.

Biggest problem I had was finding a company that was reliable and dependable at the start. Once I finally did, its been smooth sailing. I haven't received anything less than a 5* since.

You can automate your messages through airbnb which is nice, but navigating around and figuring out pricing for every week/month of the year is frustrating at times.
