dealing with Air BnB for cute little rental

[Bill Haldenby]

Hi all,

I have come across a cute little stone house that is currently set up as an air Bnb rental. present owner is only doing 7 night min`s. making 22K a year. Personally being in a summer tourist town I think cutting that down to 2-3 night min would look more like 32k a year minus cleaning service.  My question is really about air BnB. never used them, never dealt with them. No idea  if you can really profit from them or are they set to win while you lose? I am intrigued by what seems to be a turn key operation but I am more inclined to consider a two unit long term rental in the same area, thinking less day to day activity and work?
