Airbnb Success -Rehabbed, furnished, flourished in Greenville, NC
550 miles from our primary, we networked and renovated a 3 BR/2 BA house in a mostly owner-occupied neighborhood. The kitchen was remodeled, new appliances, granite, knocked out part of LR wall for open-concept kitchen/LR, tore up carpeting throughout to reveal hardwood floors, installed LVP in 1) kitchen and 2) den-turned 4th BR, upgraded toilets, painted entire house including pine planks and paneling, and crown molding, installed sliders to backyard. This was done in several months.
In December, we signed 3 LTR leases for 4 female college students (including our owner-occupying daughter) for Aug 2018. Short walk to football stadium and ECU campus.
Furnished with basics, and leveraged our Super-host status to rent out 2 BRs for immediate income, with two 3 month guests currently.
Allows us to hop around from the Northeast to the south, while providing housing to visiting scholars, educational consultants, visiting nurses, visiting parents, etc.
All suggestions, comments and questions welcomed!

I'd swap out the hardware on the kitchen cabinet fronts. To me they look dated, and conflict with your upgrades. Little hard to offer additional thoughts without more pictures, details, numbers, etc.
