What city is best to buy property and start Airbnb business?
Currently live in CT with fiancé, we own a 2family rental property. We are looking into buying property out of state in Florida area, where short term rentals such as Airbnb are allowed. Does anyone have experience and a good place to start with this type of business?

I suggest vacation areas that thrive on tourism economy, and have been doing this a long time over metro areas that are still in earlier phases of airbnb. You're at the mercy of residential areas that don't want a party going on next door, and eventually the city starts restricting. Basically, go where the areas have been vacation rental friendly for decades already.
