Short Term Rentals in Arlington, TX Entertainment District
I'm looking to buy a house in this area and rent out part of it on airbnb. I'll be living in a small part of the house for probably just the first year. I'm a minimalist and don't have a lot of personal stuff, so this doesn't bother me. I'd love to hear from anyone who's had experience with STRs in this area, or more specifically has experience house-hacking with this strategy. I'm completely new to this, so I'm soaking up advice! Thank you!

I love catching myself being judgemental. I wouldn't have thought to put the words "news anchor", "nerd", and "minimalist" in the same category, but that's my bad. Go you! Can't wait to watch your progress!
Sounds like you have a plan, so I say keep moving forward! That's a perfect area for STR!
