Indiana AirBnB
So, I'm about ready to close on a property that I was thinking about using a test for AirBnB in the Indianapolis area.
Does anyone have any advice on dealing with this type of rental vs typical rentals?
I know I'll need a cleaning service and a detailed system as to how I want the unit prepared for the visitor.

@Shawn Holsapple I currently have an Airbnb SFH in Indianapolis and we are currently booked solid thru September. It is a great city for bookings. We make over double of what we would make as an unfurnished rental. You need to have a prime location in an area of the city that people want to visit. It does have other considerations like cleaning, lawn care, and quick response maintenance.
Airbnb ratings are what will drive your success. You need have good ratings to keep your house booked. It's all about the ratings.
