First Airbnb/VRBO Advice Branson, Bentonville, or neither?

[Richard Layson]

So I am refining my area of Airbnb opportunities to the Bentonville, Arkansas or Branson, Missouri area. Since this will be my first deal any pro/cons on these areas geographically? Should I consider somewhere else. Since this will be a vacation home as well Mountain/Lake is what matters to us. Any additional advice for a newbie when looking for their first Airbnb.

Well, I live in the Bentonville area and am in the process of building a STR in Branson on Lake Taneycomo. I think both are great and am continuing to look in both places. Broken Bow is nice as well, but prices are insane there.
