AirBNB for the Superbowl

[David S.]

I have a property 2.5 miles from US Bank stadium, where the 2018 Superbowl will be held. I've heard there was a very good prices on AirBNB in the past in Houston and Santa Clara. Does anyone have experience during the previous two and can talk about it? Prepping one or two of the units for a short term rental would take a bit of work and cash, and potentially having them empty for a month or more since few people want to move or visit here in the winter could be a big downside. 

I need to be able estimate the nightly price and potential costs(like furnishing an apartment).

@David S.

I know other properties within walking distance to stadiums in a clean, safe area can be profitable not only for the Super Bowl but other dates, i.e. other home games during the season or other events held at the stadium. Are there other things about the location that would attract an AirBnB customer like convention centers, tourism, etc.?

One way to estimate prices is to register as a consumer on AirBnB and other sites to get an idea of what the competition is doing in terms of pricing during this time. Also, comparing hotel rates during these dates can help provide the data you're looking for. Additionally, parking can be another profit center for these events to consider. 

Best of luck and keep us posted on your progress
