RE License to Manage Airbnb?

[Kaiden Foster]

In Alaska, is one required to be a licensed RE broker to run a business managing short-term rental properties (like Airbnb) they do not own? Curious if short-term rentals fall under the traditional "property management" umbrella.

Nope. It's looked at similar to a hotel. You can manage your and others without a license. I've had a 20% management fee proposed from a local manager and they would furnish it as well.
