Big Bear short term rental

[Adrian Provenza]

Hello everyone,

I live in downtown Los Angeles and I go up to Big Bear quite a bit. I know this subject has been mentioned here a while back before but I want to start something newer. 

I am looking into purchasing a 3 bedroom/2bathroom cabin in Big Bear and put it on Airbnb and/or VRBO. After my downpayment I am looking at a mortgage of $1700/month approx, plus tax and insurance maybe $2100. 

I plan on going up there about one weekend a month and rent out the rest of the time.

Anyone here have experience on this that may want to share with me? Is it profitable or break even?
