There are also a ton of apps coming out these days that are linking local vendors with air BnB hosts, such as Mount, which I would recommend checking out. 

With the co host model you're in for basically $0 and cash flowing hundreds of dollars a month.

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.
