Property type for Airbnb?

[Richard Gray]

Hello, 

im in the exiting process of my fix and flip and I was interested in delving into the short term rental, mainly Airbnb. My question is what is a more preferred type of property to purchase and invest as an Airbnb? Would it be better to have a single family property or a multifamily? Which is more desirable for guests? I know a lot has to depend on the location. I stay in the Tampa Bay area and I'll be looking for a property close to the beach, just a few blocks away from the Gulf.

Why mainly Airbnb? Most of my bookings come from Vrbo. My neighbors don't even bother with Airbnb at all.

Get as close to the beach as possible, preferably beach front. When I go to the beach I only rent a house that is beach front. At least get something where you have ocean views.
