Hey @Armando Rodriguez!  

Thanks for the post, and yes as Lucas mentioned almost everyone on here likely has an Airbnb listing as a booking channel for their short term rental.  

Usually when I hear a general question like this it's sitting behind some more specific fears or questions that need to be answered.  I welcome you to shoot me a private message on your specific questions if you like about short term rentals and/or Airbnb.   

Just for full transparency however, while my properties are listed on Airbnb, HomeAway, VRBO, etc. I use a universal booking company called Evolve to facilitate those efforts.  Nonetheless I'm sure I could answer a few general questions you might have.  

Cheers!
