When you sell the house what title issues will you run into that will increase your holding costs?

The other option would be to figure out how to increase the income of the place to make it work.  

As a yearly lease guy, using Air BNB to increase gross revenue is interesting, but I wonder if the additional work is worth the real NET gain.
