So, I own 4 and manage 4 others. Most are in the Black Hills but one is in Hochatown(Broken Bow) OK. Ask me anything about the rental process and whatever else you want to know. They are a good deal if you're staying multiple days with multiple couples. Not so great if you're looking for single night stays.

Why does the app just not work?
Tried to get an Airbnb last week for work and it just kept saying "oops, something went wrong" every time I tried to make a reservation. |

If you rent to a bad renter - trashy, loud, etc. - do you feel any responsibility to the people in the neighborhood who have to put up with that crap? Ancillary Q: Should there be any restrictions on short-term rentals?

How much "good footage" do you actually get from the security cams?

What is the occupancy?
More importantly, how late are there customers really booking? I see areas that claim 50-55%+ occupancy, but their calanders don’t support that, unless there is a ‘good’ amount of last minute bookings for any available dates. |

How's the hunting in the Ouachita WMA? Mostly a pig and coyote guy, public land in deer season scares me.

I've lived out of AirBNBs the past year and a half. Now we're buying property that we'll probably rent out. We've noticed there's AirBNB owners that take it seriously and run it like a business and some that seem to treat it like a hobby.
If we were to buy some houses locally and have my wife and kids manage and turn them over, what recommendations would you have as an owner? |

How many Harley oil stains have you found in your driveways?
PS, I love the Black Hills (especially Spearfish and Deadwood) and have stayed there many times. Would love to own one of those little cabins in Spearfish Canyon. But despite being an avid motorcyclist (Triumph Tiger ADV), I would plan to vacation the hell away from there from mid-July to mid-August. Yuck. Obnoxious shitbag central. It's bad enough in MT, as they all roll through here on their way over there. |

Sorry didn’t read ahead, but a few Q’s:
How do you deal with bad guests? Any issues with neighbors? Do you have cameras up at your properties? Is commercial/landlord insurance required in your AO? |

We own a place on KY Lake. Started several times to Airbnb or VRBO. What holds me back is worrying about getting partiers. Can I limit the number of people who can be there?
|
|
What's the sweet spot for house size as far as bedrooms? What's your average occupancy rate per month? Do you find homes in the towns do better or the more remote ones?
Very interested in doing this just trying to figure out the math. |

Ancillary Q: Should there be any restrictions on short-term rentals? View Quote Give my $0.02. I own one short term rental. It’s a historic home not far from the main square in a town of 8K. Tourism and festivals bring in the guests. And a surprising number of wedding parties. To the first question, absolutely I do. We know many folks there in town and neighbors keep an eye out for us. Renters violating the rules like noise etc, I can call the service and they will be asked to leave. If they refuse, I call the Sherrifs office. Lucky for us, the issue has never come up. Had one renter leave the house in a horrible mess. Food on the floor, trash in the pool, candy wrappers everywhere, beer cans in the back yard. No permanent damage. They are now blocked from renting from us in the future. As for restrictions on Airbnb’s, what type of restrictions are you referring too? |
