Firstly, I address the importance of achieving high occupancy rates, which is crucial for profitability.

Next, I discuss the challenges associated with Airbnb rentals, including the significant competition in the market.

I also explain the various expenses that property owners are responsible for, which can be higher compared to traditional long-term rentals.

Additionally, I explore whether using a property manager is advantageous for property owners.

Furthermore, I touch on other important considerations for potential investors.

I also examine the circumstances in which owning an Airbnb property could be beneficial, such as managing it yourself or if it's a second home you already own.
