Me and my brother are looking to start our first short term rental venture. For those doing short term rentals/Airbnb's in Charlotte, what is your experience and do you have advice for new comers?
Thanks in advance!

Hello, does anyone know how much it would cost for furniture rental, staging designer etc in one full package? I asked a local designer here and she said around $1400 for two months. That sounds a bit high. Thank you.
