@Josephine Ramesh Although I don't own a lake front Airbnb I've been looking into converting a long term rental of mine into an airbnb.

A friend of mine scored her dream home last month. 

You do realize there are many already operating there?

How long has it been operating as a STR?

I know they have regulations but it seems from the government website you can operate in commercial zones (C-2 C-3 C-4 C-5 UGCCC, IX, RF, RV, CX, SH).

new to this and just looking for some advice guess i really i don't no where to start so any advice is appreciated bought my first house in may and thing seem to be going well so far its more of a boarding house / house hacking roommate situation with people i know for the moment plan on doing some things to up the equity but am limited on funds i know the neighbors house just sold for a bit more then i paid for mine so that's a plus and mine is nicer and in better shape i have almost no debt for the most part except the current mortgage on said house don't make much from my day job less then 3k a month after taxes and have good credit. i guess i just really need to know where to start should i be starting a LLC or something similar?

@Kevin Siedlecki I haven’t worked with Norada directly, so I can’t speak to them, but I’ve had experience with other turnkey providers here in Birmingham, where my brokerage operates.

There's other expenses like taxes, prop mgmt software etc.Total operating expenses for the year come to $32k.

They weren't experienced operators.

Not only is she an amazing coach for real estate investors and a very good friend of mine, but she is also my conference buffer.If I don’t have someone to meet somewhere every morning, I may skip.
