All my applicants want to sublease through AirBnB etc

Posted

So I am in the process of finding a tenant for my first rental (a townhome in Houston with no HOA). Many of the inquiries that we get are from people looking to lease and then re-list on airbnb or VRBO etc. I have listed properties on Airbnb before and have found that people generally take care of the place and maintenance expenses are usually minimal as most people just want a place to shower and sleep when they are in town.

My question is, what should I be wary of with this type of arrangement? My thinking is that if I am receiving rent at a fair rate, it shouldn't matter really. Should I request anything specific in this situation?

Appreciate the help :)

@Liam Martin Ruane if that many people want to Airbnb your property, why not just do it yourself or with the help of a property manager? There might be more money to be made through Airbnb than an LTR
