Rent or Airbnb

Looking for some advice. Should I rent or consider Airbnb. I just finished construction of my one bedroom basement and I am torn between renting it out at $1200 (inclusive of utilities except power, basement has it own meter) or putting it up for short term rental on Airbnb. A neighbor running Airbnb beside me says she nets about $2k monthly after paying off the power bill. My Dilemma is this are as follows 1. I do not want and can’t take on the headache of cleaning after the guests, meaning I will have to contract the cleaning out. 2. I am a single mum with a busy life between my job and kid. 3. My effective tax rate is 47.5%, so am I really better off paying more in taxes even though I stand to make a bit more through Airbnb. 4. I am based in Regina, would this kind of income from Airbnb be consistent year round? (Will appreciate anyone with Airbnb chiming in on this )

Should I give up

I’m a 36-year-old Black woman. I have a great job, my finances are in order, and a wicked sense of humor. I love to read and travel and not to toot my own horn, but I’m a go-getter and fun to be around. I love to travel, mostly with my child.

I want a man, not need a man. Someone kind, fun to be around, with Christian values, and doing well for himself (yes, that matters, I’m not looking to adopt a man I’ll have to provide for). I get that partners go through seasons of supporting each other, but I’m not signing up for a bum.

I have a preteen, and after trying to date for the past few years, I’m about ready to give up. Is it really this hard to find a man these days? Someone you genuinely want to be around. Someone you’re happy to go out with, and just as happy to sit in silence with. Someone without a smoking, weed, gambling, womanizing, or heavy-drinking habit, here in Canada. Someone who is genuinely really for love and a relationship, smart, can hold a conversation and just a joy to be around

Am I looking for a unicorn at this point?
