Quote from @Matthew Crivelli: Personally, I'm not a fan of Air B & B.

If they do it outside and do it recreationally and not in absurd quantities, it will air out in minutes. 

I used the radiator key to let the air out and 10 mins later the radiator was hot.

My 8 year old turns air bnb with my wife. 

After months of blood, sweat, and bargaining with contractors who seemed to vanish into thin air, I finally flipped it for $180,000.

But if you were to use it as an air bnb or ir it is raw land that you can generate income from by farming or renting out to farmers or grazing that would certainly work.

Ended up with negative cash flow due to replacing an air conditioner. 

You can make minor adjustments based on the type of appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc.) and the size of the rental.

You can also tell her to call the utility company about the best way to save, as turning off heat and on is not efficient having to run longer blasting out cold air as opposed to leaving it set at a lower temp. :)
