You don’t get far these days in talking about rental properties before someone wants to bring up the AirBnB strategy. It’s relatively new, but I suppose we should not be surprised that people have already developed a strategy around this. At first I was skeptical but I’ve looked at the actual financial results from several friends and I’m convinced if you are willing to put in the work or hire it done, this can be the most lucrative form of rental ownership out there. The trade off is either greatly increased work load or higher expenses. But those expenses should be offset by the profit potential. If done well and located optimally, your short term rental house could produce income that doubles what you could get from long term residents. This is also a fine solution for 1 and 2 bedroom homes.

I’m trying to say “short-term” more than AirBnB, not because I have anything against AirBnB. In fact the opposite is true. But I want you to know there are other providers out there as well including VRBO and HomeAway. But AirBnb has come from nowhere to dominate this industry and those who use these services will tell you there’s a reason. And that reason has to do with payment policy. But I’m not going to repeat hearsay at this time. If you are interested in this, make it a point to call the service provider and ask them how long it takes to received payment from them.
