Vacation home as an out-of-state AirBnB

[Jordan Butts]

I have a condo in Fort Lauderdale I use as a vacation home that I would like to AirBnB while not using it.  Personally, I have never used AirBnB.  I understand the idea of it and why it is so successful but I do not understand the process of using it or running an AirBnB.  If I wanted to use this condo as an AirBnB while living in West Virginia, who would handle the keys or key code to the door of the unit and checking people in and out?  Do vacation rental companies deal with managing AirBnB now?  Does anyone have any experience or links to familiar discussions of how to start an out of state AirBnB?  Any feedback on the starting process from someone with experience would be appreciated.
