After discussing with her, due to the age of the house she is wanting to get out from under it as there are some cosmetic issues about the house that would just take the time and funds to do (like replacing some of the laminate wood slats, harder to find an exact match than anything).

Vacasa Guestworks(partial MGMNT model) says their fee of 12% is almost covered by the fact that THEY will pay the Airbnb host fee   Also they will handle the tedious filing of monthly taxes as required by my city/state regulations  I’m not scared at all to handle the online listing and am not keen to pay their 10-12% fee.

They are often compensated much less than the cleaning fee the host charges guests.

Took time over Christmas to dive into all aspects of the website and found the "live in then rent" model discussed and thought I could do it.

If you decide to proceed, record everything. 3) Many ways to go about this but you should consult an attorney before even going over there to review your options but you will likely have 2 main options all of which lead to him moving out: - You can go it the nice way and offer keys for cash, you pay him (an amount less than you would pay for legal fees) to move out; the contigencies are that he must move out all of his belongings, sign a termination, and you pay him on the day he leaves at the door as he is moving out (you then change the locks) - he's out and you have a signed termination, the end. - You can go it the more heavy handed way and you will likley be able to file for an emergency eviction becuase your property is being destroyed, to do this you should take photos of the damages during your walk-through. 

There seems to be less discussion on setting up vs running the business.

When I do the math on renting out a property, like in Texas, for a 1 bed and bath and compare it to the median rent for the area, the rental income doesn't cover the entire mortgage, property tax, fees, etc., of the property itself.

There is a great discussion about ozone devices in another thread, it convinced me to buy one.
