AirBNB Northern Michigan Property?

Hello! I'm looking to connect to those who currently AirBNB properties in popular Northern Michigan cities: Traverse City, Boyne City, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Mackinaw City, etc.  I took a big 4 day road trip through some cities to look around these past few days and am very interested in purchasing a property to AirBNB.  Just wondering how your experience has been (Worth the investment? Easy to find cleaning crew/handyman?) and potentially what other cities to consider?  

When looking into it briefly, it looks like Mackinaw City, Traverse City, & Petoskey are the most restrictive on AirBNBs whereas Boyne City and Harbor Springs allow them with a permit, any information on how difficult it is to get one of these permits for an out of state investor?

Would greatly appreciate any Realtor recommendations that you've worked with in purchasing an AirBNB who would know more about local ordinances/best areas to buy as well.

Thanks for the help!
