Listing a property on Airbnb before closing

[Lane C.]

Im under contract on a property I plan on using as a short term rental via Airbnb. The sellers aren’t able to close until June 20th for various reasons. It just so happens June, July and August are the peak months. I was wondering if anyone knows if you can set up a listing for a property before closing (obviously for guests to stay after I have closed on the property).

You shouldn't be selling something you don't own. This could be seen as fraud.

What if the closing falls through for some reason? 

Be patient grasshopper.
