Non Vacation Airbnb?

[John Matthew Johnston]

I have 3 successful SFRs in nice B neighborhoods, recently I have been networking with local REIs and came across a couple investors that have multiple Airbnb's in my area. We do not live in a vacation destination and are about 46 minutes outside Pittsburgh. I guess I've always equated Airbnb or STR with vacationing but these investors are doing quite well and smashing ROI compared to normal rents in the area. My question is does anyone on here own STRs in non tourist areas. How are you guys doing with this?
