However, when I put in my address, rather than taking the houses listed near me, it is pulling houses in that higher priced area (even though there are tons of houses listed near me).So with that said, I am considering an airdna membership.Thoughts? 

I think it was on another post about how someone paid for a guru program and the guy never addressed her concerns about losing money. 

I created a separate login with unique email address for the STR house.

i feel like property is abandoned but concerned as there are a whole lot of things normal people would take with them.

. :)As I comp my 3/2.5 primary residence on FurnishedFinder and Airbnb, I saw a lot of availability around White Rock Lake, which does concern me somewhat as I would need to cover the first mortgage with rental income.  

If the pumper pulls out inappropriate material you can address with tenant. 

If your concern is liability, what I did was get an umbrella insurance policy on the properties I house hacked under my name.

It's a good concern.

But I draw the line when there is risk of damage to the property, annoyance to the neighbors, health concerns, pests, etc.

@Garrett Brown you’ve got a lot of options, but it sounds like cash flow is a top concern.
