Niche Airbnb Idea in Midwest

[Eric Hart]

Hi all - this may be an odd question but has anyone had any experience looking up niche homes on Zillow / realtor?

One idea we had was to find a "slightly" haunted home or something with potential for a horror themed Airbnb. I’m sure the right agent might have some ideas, or reaching out to several different agents might yield something, but just wanted to poll the audience and look for any other thoughts.

Obviously most of the work would be setting the theme and decor ourselves, but finding a house with some legitimate history to it could have the attraction of coming at a $ deal (i.e. if someone died in it) and would add to the character. This may be stretching the norm a bit too far, but we wanted to see if this idea takes form.

We’re imagining a haunted/gothic themed Airbnb in the Indianapolis, Indiana market.

Thanks for any suggestions & ideas!
