AirBNB in Louisville - rules, regulations, tactics?

[Michael Wisotzkey]

Greetings! I am looking to buy a property in the Churchill Downs area and list it on AirBNB. Doing a little research, I'm starting to uncover some of the local laws (mainly from

https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politic...)

Right now I'm tracking a $25 registration w/ revenue commission and obtaining a conditional use permit. Does anyone know any additional requirements? Any other recommendations anyone is familiar with?

I don't currently live in Louisville but I did live there for 5 years for college (Go Cards!); I am definitely looking for recommendations or connections with people in the area!

@Michael Wisotzkey - you may want to reach out to the guys at KeySource as they manage a lot of AirBnB rentals and are very in the know when it comes to those things.  They should also be able to give you an idea of what type of income you could expect.  It's been a few years since I've lived in Lou myself, but can't imagine the numbers making sense on a short-term rental in that part of town.  It would be in high demand for a week or two a year, but I wouldn't think many people would be looking to stay in that neck of the woods at an AirBnB outside of the week of Derby.
