Anyone on here familiar with PeerSpace?

[Dave Van Horn]

Anyone have any experience using PeerSpace? Would be curious to hear feedback and I couldn't find any threads about it here on BP.

I've yet to use it myself with my properties but my son is in the film industry in Los Angeles and he clued me into it. It's used a lot for film shoots, photo shoots, weddings, parties, etc.

Kinda seems like an interesting (and possibly more lucrative) alternative to Airbnb or short term rentals, since you're renting by the hour. Especially with film shoots where your hourly rate may not be too far off from what you'd get for an night's stay in some places. Plus they're not occupants so it may not be as heavily regulated.

Currently in the U.S. there are 6 major markets they're in: 

• San Francisco

• Silicon Valley

• Los Angeles

• NYC

• Seattle 

• Austin

• Chicago

Some of those places (i.e NY & LA) are obviously more popular than others but it's interesting because there are other cities that don't have much of a presence on the site - especially with things like film shoots, like in Philadelphia or Miami. Both places have a film industry, albeit smaller, so it'd be interesting to see if they grow on the site in the future.

@Dave Van Horn It's funny as show business explodes with different mediums like Amazon and Netflix I have been wondering how the studios would keep up with demand for filming locations This niche is one that can be unbelievably lucrative in the right market. Definitely not for everyone because of their locale but with the correct damage protection verbiage and insurance it's very interesting.

Also, pretty cool if you require a picture of the shooting in progress. People love that stuff. 

Thanks,
