AirBnb rental purchase process for newbies

[Anurag D.]

Hello, 

I am beginner investor owning a few residential investment rentals, and wish to learn AirBnB/short-term rentals process.

Any resource would immensely be helpful to address basic queries such as:

1. Would I need to contact AirBnB before purchasing any property meant for short-term rental.

2. Would I first need to find property managers who provide airBnB property management support..
If so, how could they be located (website?)

3. Is there any housing type on which city/county cannot impose limit such as recently seen in HI/Tahoe.

4. ..Ways to procure fee-structure for AirBnB.

5. Does AirBnB share market rental data, such as average days, average nightly rate etc..

Thank you in advance.
