Investing in AirBnB in Chico, CA

[Anthony Leung]

Looking to invest in Chico for AirBnB. Does anyone want to share their experiences? What are the major draws to the city ?

@Anthony Leung @Jon Crosby Welcome! Jon is correct about the college being the big draw. Chico does have some other businesses with big draws such as Enloe Medical Center, Sierra Nevada Brewery, Build.com, United Health Care as well as many Agriculture products like Almonds, Rice, Walnuts etc. Our big Natural draw is Bidwell Park with 1 Mile rec area and 5 mile rec area. They filmed Robinhood with Errol Flynn in this park many moons ago. Cycling the 10 plus miles on the paved Bidwell park which has the creek running along the entire path is beautiful. I tried some research on the Air BNB rentals in Chico and the results weren't that good but maybe I was doing it wrong as I am not versed in Air BnB. Great college type town and more businesses are here compared to when I was younger but not a Sacramento type area. Chico is the most desired town in the North State ahead of Redding and others. The Camp Fire has brought much more travel to the area for insurance personal, builders, lawyers, PGE crews  etc but not sure how long that will last. Good luck on your research and keep us posted.
