Exiting a House Hack with tightening Airbnb regulation

[Jason Breton]

I own a duplex in Denver. Living in 1 unit and renting the other on Airbnb. My intention was to rent on Airbnb upon exiting the property. That seems risky now considering the current trajectory of regulation in the city. How are other people thinking through this? Long term rental cash flow isn't great. Hard to turn my back on short term rental income. Thoughts?

@Jason Breton - @Andrew Myers has it right: you can rent out one or both units as medium-term furnished rentals for 30+ days and still make a good margin compared to a traditional unfurnished rental. I operate a 19-unit furnished rental business in San Francisco and just south. SF has some of the toughest STR restrictions in the country, but there is a strong year-round market for medium-term business travelers. It's a nice way to earn decent "semi-passive" cash flow in any market with a lot of business travelers. Tech workers, construction workers, consultants and medical professionals often travel for more than a month. Good luck!
