Airbnb management companies? Individuals with Airbnb success?

[Ben Kirchner]

Looking to connect with some people who are doing Airbnb in or around the triangle of NC.  I have some long term rentals in Durham, and Garner.  Am looking to expand my portfolio in NC, and looking into Airbnb as a future option.  Does anyone know of airbnb management companies in the area? Also - anyone currently doing airbnb in these areas, I'd love to chat more about what you're experiencing with it.

@Ben Kirchner we have a few and have decided to shut them down. We are making more than long term, but since our houses were flips we had completed we found that we could get 200-300 more than comps monthly and that created a very minor difference in month additional income. Meaning 150-250$ a month. For the amount of work they required to sustain superhost status we determined it was not worth the effort. Also, the first 6 months were the toughest. It did get easier after that.
