So hubby and I are thinking about buying in to a place we can use as a vacation rental and Air B&B.
Anyone do this? What are some positives and negatives?
Yes I am actually a superhost ambassador.
Positives:
-2-3x more revenue than long term rentals
-House stays in for sale condition
-More engaging and fun
Negatives:
-More management required(unless you hire a property manager obviously). Must have a cleaner, handyman, and/or yourself on standby.
-People can be very unfair and unreasonable. I probably have one of one of the top Airbnbs i. the southeast in terms of renenue/value of property. Its immaculately clean every time and much better service than hotels...still I get unfair reviews sometimes.
-You do have occasional guests who leave the house very unclean and/or damage things. This is not nearly as common as people would think though

When a guest leaves things damaged or filthy, do you have any recourse?

This is critical. It took me about 2 months to find a good cleaner/manager type person. Went through about 3 different ones when we started that leaded to less than 5 star reviews. Finally made the switch to a good one (which is actually a company that services in that area) and it is pretty much on autopilot at this point. I just send her my calendar for the month and its all taken care of. They will send me pics after each cleaning.
