Reverse STR or Airbnb Arbitrage

[Jay A.]

Is anyone doing something like Reverse STR / AirBnB Arbitrage..

I don't know if this has an actual name already but I just called it that. Basically, you purchase a rental for consistent long term rental cash flow. You buy in a STR market so it could be used as that as well but for whatever reason, you are not interested in STR. Has anyone got in contact with someone who is doing AirBnB aribitrage and connect them with your property so you are subleasing to them getting consistent cash flow and they use it as a STR.

Pros:

- Less vacancy rates, the subleaser in a way acts like a property manager for day to day stuff so you may be able to reduce overhead/expenses.

- They will furnish your unit so in the future if you want to do the STR yourself, you can purchase the furniture from them, you will have data that it works, etc
