Seasonal Airbnb rentals (i.e. Park City, UT)

[Drew Whitehead]

Anybody have any properties they do Airbnb with? I'm wondering about the Park City area specifically due to the swing in seasons and events. I have some capital that I am looking at purchasing a property in Park City to Airbnb most of the year and would also be a weekend getaway for me and my family when not rented out. I'm just curious to know the pros/cons, etc. I know some people that rent it out for more than $400/night in the winter and don't hardly get it rented out in the summer. Obviously if you average it out over the year it still needs to make sense but I'm curious if anyone is in the same situation.

Thanks

Yes, majority of my guests book via Airbnb.  I would check out airdna.co (not .com).  You can register for a free account and look at their very cools.  They capture Airbnb data and sell it to hosts. Once piece of advice, just buy their raw csv data for the past 12 months sort it yourself so it's usable/meaningful.  

Good luck!
