I can't comment to their operational policies, but I have a coworker who owns a house they use for AirBnb, and they make quite a bit of money off of it. Enough to have a house dedicated to AirBnb, and so one of them doesn't need to work. They seem pleased with it, and they're not a corporation by any means.
But, again, I don't have a horse in this race.
- mintplant 8y agoFrankly, I don't see that as a positive outcome. That house could be someone's home.
- bradlys 8y agoIn the scheme of it being "someone's home", it's not much different than renting it out for a longer period. Both are temporary and are at high risk for being kicked out. (Compared to owning it) No one I know who rents the home they're in claims it to be "their home".
- gamblor956 8y agoIt's pretty much the exact opposite of being someone's home. A long-term rental may not be permanent, but it's still a home for the duration of the rental. An AirBnB is not, by definition.
- taborj 8y agoIt could be, sure. But in this instance, anyone who could afford that home could afford any of the other (many) houses up for sale in the area. This is in a touristy area, rather than a major city. I can see this being an issue in a city, where housing is hard to find. But that's not the case in this instance.
