Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

I have a small home that has been rented for about 5 years and the tenant is moving out. It's near the city center and there are many air bob homes now where ppl rent the home for the weekend for weddings or tourism.
Question is this. I could get x for rent.
I figure I could get about 2 x for the air bnb.
I would have to pay utilities and also a cleaning /set up fee... this would make the bnb pay about 1.5 of x. Also there will be an upfront fee to furnish the place that would take months to recoup.
Want would you vote. I also consider this would take up some time but the flip side is I'm a Realtor and would make some new contacts ... maybe even sell a home or two?
Would you vote the steady x or stretch to get 1.5 x.?

The reason? People tear the HELL out of stuff! Even if you get a deposit, it often isn't even close enough to cover the damages.
If you like cleaning up a mess constantly, go for it. Unless I was making at least 3-4x the regular rent, it wouldn't be worth it to me.
Too much hassle, and I have other stuff to do.

You should show a good profit. Now take the money and buy two rental houses in good rent markets but out of this area. Stable rent income x 2 homes even if you have to add investment money is better than 1.5x with the risk involved.
My guess, spend more time looking for clients. Try being a "buyers" broker, it's just another type contract.

Personally I think I would prefer a steady reliable tenant over the occasional party animals.
+1
But in the long run I think you would recoup that plus make more money temporarily renting it out
I've rented my entire house (that I normally live in) to movie crew, Balloonists, British tourists (that wanted to see the balloons), and one heiress that wanted to "experience Mexico" without actually going there.
Made HEAPS of cash each time.
I made enough to stay down the street at the Hilton every time, and only had a teensy problem with the heiress (which she fixed with a bag of money).
If I lived in Belen, nobody would want to rent it.
Movie folks LIVE to be gouged, LOVE to be gouged, and sometimes leave cool knickknacks when they split (like the script from No Country for Old Men, or the pair of gas masks from Breaking Bad, etc)!
Never had anything stolen,mostly due to the numerous safes & sheds; but the folks that rent MY place aren't the thieving sort.
Balloon Fiesta starts in a week, and I'll be at the Hilton while the Brazilians hang out at Joe's Place.
I'm sure I'll find some way to feel better about having taken $3k for a 2-week rental.
Maybe as I'm cleaning and oiling my new BM59.....
