Listed a Short Term Rental for sale as a furnished, turn-key.

[Benjamin Vail]

 This week I have started the adventure of selling the second short term rental house that we have listed as a turnkey investment. We are selling this house furnished, and managed, with reservations in place. 

We took some risks this time, and got creative with the marketing in the MLS. I put screenshots of the revenue from airDNA as a photo in the MLS. I also posted some of the guest reviews as photos.

Yesterday was the first day of the market,  and we had 13 showings. I anticipate multiple offers soon! What was surprising to me, is that many of the buyers wanted to live in the house. But being able to Airbnb it when they were gone was a huge selling point. I think this is marking a change in the greater real estate market, most houses could be sold for higher by showing what they could make on Airbnb. Not to mention it is much better than just staging, the place actually feels inviting, and lived in. 

Has anyone else tried marketing a house for sale, by demonstrating the STR potentials? Is anyone else buying or selling STR houses furnished, as a turn-key package?
