I think these things are definitely important to note but that shopping list is fairly light for a full Airbnb outfit.

If you don't have the money for 10-25% down, you really can't afford to outfit the place correctly or have $$$ to take care of the various issues that will crop up due to guests.IMHO, you should live as cheap as you can.

@James Wise  there is one bigger player there I know I went and checked out his out fit well run 20 some employees.. although I will just have to say that 45k homes in Detroit are no way B class easy to manage.. having done hundreds of funding's there and know the areas..

I was back there for Thanksgiving and stayed both at Kaanaapali and at the Aston in your area. like I said its really grown. there is an out fit there called the Maui flight academy and if I can put in a shameless plug.. this Is the greatest value for a tourist...
