My neighbors currently rent out part of their home as a vacation rental and I had hoped to do the same. FWIW I googled airbnb disasters and the results included nightmare renters and nightmare hosts. Still there was a pretty big slice of the pie where having an involved and caring owner present on their own property would have nipped problems in the bud. I can see how the argument could be made that absentee landlords + short term tenants = problems. I know that's overly simplistic but if you're looking for something to gripe about it fills the bill.
