I haven't found a lot of books, but there are quite a few "guides" and research that can be done. This is a good start: http://getpaidforyourpad.com/blog/dont-just-go-liv...
I would then jump on Twitter and start connecting with these folks:
@bookmorenights (this is Matt Landau's connection - probably the best resource for info)
@RentByOwnerBlog
@TheAirDnA (Created a nice guide and have great data about Airbnb)
@casual_glenn (sharing economy expert)
@VROwnersGuide
I've been at it for about 18 months, two properties and doing quiet well. There's a TON to learn, it's a more challenging business than long term rentals, but there are significant opportunities to make significant income.
