We have 4 rentals in Lynchburg and have had good success with them. We use Priority One  Property Management and we are happy with them.

It is not just college students, none of ours have been rented to College students. A great place to invest with prices that still can appreciate. 

So the house is contingent on the buyers selling their house..and they are selling theirs for 499,000.00 and lowering it $15,000 per week until it sells...it has lots of lnad I think 10 acres and is a big beautiful place...out side of Springfield Missouri so there is lots of growth out there, however with the shift in the economy who knows when that will happen?..soooo we are still taking offers and the price has gone down to $259,000.00 if anyone is interested...they did an inspection even though we don't know if it is going to happen...and the house is in good condition, no big problems so that is good to hear!

Very happy to say the house is under contract! It is contigent on the sale of their house( which I'm told has lots of interest) however we are still taking offers!

Hi Don,
The MLS is fine, I just wanted to see if there was a way to get more eyes on it. And I've appreciated the suggestions. I also wanted to try and reach out to an audience that might want to house hack...it seems to be well suited for that. It seems like for someone who wanted to buy a very nice fully furnished house that could pay the mortgage and utilities, and they could live there, it could be a good fit. Or it might just sell to some regular folks, either way is fine. We are also fine with just running it ourselves until that time comes, the Airbnb guests are paying down the mortgage every month.

Robin , Thank you! I am going to check out that group!

Thank you! Those are very good suggestions!

Julia, I love that idea!

If our situation were different we would keep it, its a nice cashflowing Airbnb. It is zoned Business and Commercial and it is very nice as is but has lots of potential for added value...the town is growing and I think it fills a huge need.

Thank you Paul! We do have a realtor and we will pass on that tip!

We have our 5br 3 ba Historic home in Mansfield MO listed on the MLS, but I wish there were some way to target an Airbnb or "house hacking" audience. We had an onsite manager who lived in a part of the house and we rented out the rest. Someone could buy this house, live in it and manage the Airbnb and have Airbnb revenue pay the mortgages and utilities. And have money left over!

It has rented very well, we opened in May and have grossed $12,000.00 and have $2000.00 more booked for September so far... we are selling for $275,000.00. It would be a perfect place for a couple or  a small family to house hack and actually make money after the mortgage is paid! It is located 1 mile from the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum which draws many to the area and it has a connection to LIW as she wrote some of her books there and was friends with the owners. She designed her home after it...the house came with many rare photos of LIW and her husband. 

We get bookings for all kinds or reasons.  There is very little out there for people to stay and not much at all for large groups. We can sell it furnished so it is basically ready to go. Any suggestions on how to market it better? Is there a dedicated site somewhere that focuses on selling Airbnbs? If there isnt ,there should be!
