I'm not too familiar with University Park, but in order to determine if it would make a good Airbnb, you'll want to research other similar properties (how they're priced / how often they're booked) in that area on platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, and Furnished Finder (if you're considering doing 30+ day stays, ie, an 'MTR' as well.) 

Airbnb is just one of many listing platforms to list your STR.

We get a lot of requests from guests wanting to book off platform. 

I have clients that uses different types of platforms.I made Buildium as an accounting platform for one of my clients. 

My apologies Kathleen, I am not on this platform very often.

Also I could be wrong but I think to legally lend in OHIO one needs to be state licensed and NMLS registered.. again could be wrong but I know we are setting up a very narrow niche lending platform there for foreclosing buying and I got recruited because they need my license to be legal.Now for the private folks who only do a few loans and don't hold themselves out as lenders like you obviously do there is usually a carve out.

I am currently in Astroflipping, which is a wholesaling platform and the website I use is flipfundllc.com, my mentor sends them out through email and it's only about 12 dollars. 

I probably won't book any place that does not have instant booking turned on in the future.If I am not mistaken, instant book is a search criteria on one of the platforms, and if you are not doing that, then your pool of potential customers is smaller by some degree.
