If you are using a property management company make sure to tell what kind of tenant you want (FICO, income to rent ratio, section 8[I don't recommend],prior evictions, criminal history[sex offenders], marijuana on property)If your unit is a studio or 1 bedroom you can a lot more money wit Airbnb, most markets now have Airbnb property management that handles all turn-over things such as cleaning, dealing with guest, we use and August Smart lock that sincs with Airbnb so you can see on when they come and leave plus a security camera outside the unit to make sure there is no extra people or a party going at my unit so far we are making more than double from what we use to make on it with a regular tenant.

No offence but I find that hard to believe.
