They can find and screen good tenants, so you don’t have to worry about them not paying rent or taking care of the property. 

Close to a cool little town, close to an area attraction, etc....Also do a search here and see how to screen guests, in addition to what the hosting sites do.... like no last minute bookings, no short stays....

That said you can greatly alleviate that with good screening, and the higher price point that these types of units can demand should help filter out the deadbeats.

It does many things to help you with Tenant placement like marketing, application collection and screening. 

Go to GET STARTED > EVENTS AND MEETUPS at the top of your screen.

There are many good locations - I'd suggest that you play around with the "Market Finder" tool at the top of the screen here, included with your pro membership. 

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Screen tenants thoroughly, have a solid lease, and maintain an emergency fund for unexpected expenses.

Non paying tenants(as a newbie I did no screening), dead tenants, Silly fines from the city for nothing, attempted robberies where I ended up with the cops pulled guns on me. 30 recently released convicts as neighbors for a while, a jacked up 7' tall transvestite call girl/drug dealer was my least favorite neighbor.

It’s essential to screen tenants carefully to minimize vacancies and ensure reliable rent payments.4.
