Airbnb Rental Expectations?

[Graham Storey]

Hello everyone,

My wife and I are looking for a house and want to have the option to use it as an Airbnb rental here and there to make some additional income while we are living in it. Then potentially a full time Airbnb when we move onto our next house.

What is a realistic expectation for nights rented in a month? Expenses? Any tips on Airbnbing while you live in the property? I know this varies greatly market to market but any general suggestions would be great! (Looking in the Chapel Hill, NC market for anyone local)

Thanks!
