Sure you're going to get phone calls and deal with bad tennants but remember you'll also have bad days at work making someone else tons of money while you get your little tiny slice of their wealth and you miss your child's football game because you had to work late and your stuck at a dead end job.

@Zk Lani I've been trying to do more research on AirBnBs in downtown Columbia as I think there is a huge need for visitors for Fort Jackson and UofSC parents, football games, etc.
