If you are not an agent, look into being a co-host or becoming an agent.  

Host your website? 

Happy hosting!

Anyways, hello and thanks for hosting me here!

Here's the long and short of it:- LTRs w/ a PM = lower cash flow but very hands off- LTRs w/o a PM = slightly higher (think 8-10%) cash flow but more hands on- MTRs w/o a PM = very doable, 1.5 - 2x LTR rent in most markets but more hands on- MTRs w/a PM or co-host = still higher cash flow than LTRs but co-hosting and PM can eat up 25-30% of your profits- STR w/ a PM or co-host = 2x-3x LTR cash flow but same as above, your manager will take 20-30% usually but totally hands off for you- STR w/o a PM or co-host = 2x-3x LTR cash flow goes to you but definitely hands onOpinions will vary on these options but this is a good rule of thumb and starting point to help you compare and contrast.

Is there anyone that currently host AIRBNB preferably in (Chicago) or in any major cities?

Marketing a STR effectively would take regular algorithm content adjustment, 365 dynamic pricing daily adjustments to be competitive, and a good understanding of OTA’s (online travel agencies) which bring in 90% of STR revenue in some markets.We offer 10% commission fee to co-host across the USA for their STR, meaning to market online listings service to increase bookings, and respond to booking and pre-arrival enquires 24/7 (response time always within one hours).

A growing family is one of the greatest motivators for an investor.To your point about refi: welcome to the real world where podcast hosts don't seem to always live in.

If Airbnb adequately screened guests, treated hosts well, stopped giving refunds for no reason, and delisting hosts for no reason, they wouldn't be in this situation.
