Using vacation rentals as Airbnb

[DeAndre Xavier Thomas]

Hey BP community! 

I've recently been toying with the idea of buying a lake house soon and renting it throughout the year on Airbnb. I've ran some preliminary numbers and it seems sustainable but I would like more information from people who have experience doing it.

I would love to hear any stories or advise on anyone who has had experience renting out their vacation home. 

Specifically I am thinking about buying a lakefront house at Lake of the Ozarks, MO; so anyone who has specific knowledge of that area that could pitch in would be AMAZING!

Thanks in advance!
