However, I also see it as an opportunity to potentially pass on risk (maintenance/upkeep/repairs) to an Airbnb host, assuming insurance coverages work out, and/or ask for a premium on top of what I listed the unit for.

@Conor Colburn I host two meetup groups our next event is on July 13th in Downtown LA.

Hi BP investors/members, Anyone has experience buying Padsplit homes that are already being hosted and income generating? 

I host a monthly meetup you might enjoy: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/1177922-are-...

The reason for this is that there is outsized competition with your fellow landlord hosts, who are also pursuing nurses, and a shrinking demographic of traveling nurses (cost cutting, covid cuts, etc.)

Overall the air is full of potential and I asked my airbnb host to buy his place, its a larger lot w 2 buildings, hes renting essentially 4 rooms/studios out some without kitchen and theres a room for the 247 cleaner lady and a pool (tiny) in the middle, 2 parking spots, 450k.

Many times, hosts have been very surprised over how much they could get from their property. 

I've tried a Guesty, Hostfully and I'm now using Hostaway.

Also, be-friend the hosts of the meetups.Work on saving money, networking, and educating! 

Rather than hosting people that say for a week at most, we've been targeting traveling professionals.
