Airbnb Questions for first timer

Im going to buy my first Airbnb (had one with a partner a few years ago but it didnt do to well so we sold it after 2 years, was a breakeven deal pretty much)
So trying to do some more research and due diligence this time to hopefully get some good cash flow!
Heres what i found so far

  1. Airdna.co to research the market and profitability
  2. Research the competition in the area and see how you can niche your property (super family oriented, man cave, she shed, luxury, for entertaining, etc)
  3. Contact other local airbnb hosts to network and make contacts for service providers and get tips
  4. Look for at least a 3x return (try to get at least 3xs the mortgage payment monthly )


Any other tips you have to add or thoughts on this??
