Short Term Rentals and Airbnbs For Sale
Many people have recently decided to buy a holiday home to rent out. Renting these out on platforms like Airbnb and VRBO can help offset the mortgage or in some cases even make a profit in addition to you enjoying it. This is because people are renting homes on Airbnb just as often as they do hotels and motel chains. Why? They love that feeling of being at home away from home.
You can rent your property on Airbnb if you have money to invest in real estate. What are the pros and disadvantages of renting on Airbnb? We will highlight the main benefits that you will derive as a host and the drawbacks you should consider if you’re still unsure about investing in property for rental purposes.
You can set the rental blackout dates. You can take your Airbnb property off the market during the holidays for your family to use or anytime you want to use the home for personal use. You can decide when, for how much, and when the property is removed from the rental listing online.
Airbnb provides host protection in many countries. Renting to strangers comes with some risks. Airbnb provides up to $1,000,000 in host protection for guests who are harmed, stolen, or suffer other losses. Of course, you don’t want to have any valuables in the home, and having a room you can lock for owner use only is a great option to keep valuables safe.
The home-sharing platforms allow you to list your real estate investment property for free. Listing websites and other third-party sites don’t charge fees until a property is booked. You need to take clear, high-resolution images of your property. Incorporate a great description. Include the location and amenities. Include pricing and terms for rental. You’re now ready to go!
The holiday property that you bought can yield additional revenue if rented on home-sharing websites. You will have no problems renting out your property, especially if it is located in high tourist areas. Renting it out can help pay your mortgage, HOA fees, taxes, and any repairs that may be necessary.
While timing the market is never something to count on and there may be dips and booms along the way but overall real estate is an appreciative asset and over time will go up in value. This is exponential considering you can use the renters to pay your mortgage costs.
You are inviting someone to your home. While you might not be there, you don’t necessarily know their identity. You should do screening checks and ensure you know the identity of your renters if you are renting outside of home-sharing platforms.
You will be contacted at 2:00 AM to fix a burst pipe if something goes wrong. You pay for repairs if they are required. Everything that goes wrong is your responsibility. You must be able to commit and you should be open to the possibility that renters may call you at any moment, even if it is for the smallest inconvenience.
Make sure you are familiar with the legalities before you make an investment. In some areas, it is not possible to list a property for Airbnb rental. Before renting, you might need to obtain special permits or licenses.
Tenants who are injured on the property might be sued if there is major damage to the property. If something happens on the property, make sure you are aware of the terms and legal restrictions. Home-sharing platforms have policies for this but you’ll want to also make sure your home insurance policy covers home-sharing.
