I only use VRBO at the moment, but have been considering adding AIR BnB and try to watch my calendars closely. 

My brother in law and sister are currently doing a live in flip in Charlotte where the numbers are crazy and I will say from their experience to be ready for anything and have adequate reserves on hand for issues that you need to prioritize for (I.e. in case an appliance goes out, heat/air go out, etc.).Not doing it personally like I said but from what I’ve seen it could for sure be overwhelming living around it so having that discussion with your girl beforehand as if the property needs considerable rehab you could both be relatively comfortable in part of the home if extensive rehab is required.

@Jeff maybe you can Air B and B

Such as sprinklers, light bulbs, door knob, toilet seat. air filter. 

This goes for gas furnaces (with forced air heating ducts) and gas water heaters too. 

My family and I are relocating to SA in the coming months (Air Force) and plan on buying a personal residence with the intent of turning it into a rental in the future.Thanks in advance and Happy New Year!

Looking for detractors that will make the flip harder to sell - train tracks, gun clubs, very busy roads, air strips, school zones, flood zones, etc.In this case, we're looking at $101K acquisition, $100K rehab, $20K carrying cost. 

As stated in my OP, my first contractor disappeared into thin air.2.

Game room has a 3 in 1 pool, TT and air hockey table.

. :) Do the park cities even allow Air B&B?
