Airbnb Picking a Location

Travis Fairbairn

Hello! I live in DFW, on the Fort Worth side.... for the short term rental people, I'm curious as to data points that you look for when choosing a location for your Airbnb. I realize that Airbnb is not just for vacationing, that a lot of people use them for weddings, business travel, etc... how does one go about picking an area that will Airbnb well?

@Travis Fairbairn. Pick a market that has way more visitors per year than actual residents. My market has about 100,000 residents and 13,000,000 visitor per year.

Also look for drivable locations. No one wants to fly for who knows how long.
