@Chris13150 I say go for it. Airbnb Plus has been discontinued, so you can take that off your to-do list.
* Only you know the value of what you have to offer, so price accordingly. You can review pricing in your area, but always be mindful of what's unique about your property and what might not be factored into the algorithm for ranking your listing in search. For instance, my property sits on 12 acres, but the algo can only compare number of rooms and types of amenities. Although there are over 100 factors taken into account, acreage isn't one of them.
* Many hosts have found that a property priced too low attracts more demanding and destructive guests.
* Get to know your property inside and out before handing the reins and a percentage of income over to a co-host, unless you are absolutely confident the person has a stellar track record as an Airbnb host. If you do find such a co-host, you should ask to review their guest communications. I believe many Airbnb problems arise from poor communication between host and guest.
* Use your head and trust your gut - if you get an inquiry from a guest that feels like fingernails on a blackboard to you, don't second-guess yourself. Get that person under control ASAP.
* As far as Airbnb is concerned - it's a booking platform with a far greater reach than an individual. Use it as a partner for that but maintain control of all aspects of your property yourself.
* You can search this forum by keyword to find articles and posts on most issues that come up.
Have fun!
