AirBnB and Short Term Rentals:  The good, the bad and the awful

Everyone is talking about it, many are doing it, and some are profiting from it  From renting a room in someone’s apartment, to a vacation homes that people rent out part time, all the way to full blown businesses: The short term rental explosion is changing markets.  It changes the way we vacation, and it changes the way we travel on business.  It changes our expectations of income and workload as real estate investors.

We are gathering multiple investors with varying experiences in the short term rental market to give you a diverse perspective on what’s happening in this niche.  Some love it, some are making money, and some think it’s not worth the hassle.
