Love Toledo we are easily getting properties there with great cash flow and low entry cost in great areas.

If yours is the only STR within 20 miles and there aren't any cities or larger towns within a 20-30 minute drive, you could easily run into trouble even finding a reliable cleaning person, let alone a full-service STR management company.I would also definitely take the time to find some comps on Airbnb in the same area as yours, with as close to the same bed/bath count as yours, and with the same finishes and amenities as you are planning to put in yours.  

In Seattle this could be shut down easily if it were a non owner occupant.

@David Meier makes a great point.

I also don't think you'll be able to get a Section 8 renter out easily when you feel like it or want to switch to MTR. 

Love the trash cans idea... so easily overlooked but definitely enhances the guest experience!

It would be even better if you can get something that you can easily house-hack like a SFH w/ an efficiency attached to help out with the mortgage.

My Question regarding AirBnb when a home is USDA:I am planning on buying a home, using USDA, and am looking for one where I can easily create an Airbnb space.
