Any landlords here renting to an Airbnb host?
We are both short and long term landlords. I am interested in experimenting with rental arbitrage: (approaching landlords and renting their property for the purpose of listing it as a short-term rental)
If you are a landlord currently engaged in rental arbitrage, could you comment on your experiences. Thank you!

Hey @Aaron K. not disagreeing with you at all, but could you elaborate on why you think renting short term causes more wear and tear vs. long term? I assume this is because there is the assumption that there will parties and disregard for the property? Would love to hear the landlords perspective on this point. Thanks!
