Thoughts on Leasing House/Apartment to rent out through airbnb?

[Andrew Beaver]

Hi all!

I've been an Airbnb Host for over a year now as a shared space host.  I love the experience but I want more.  I've spoken with people who have actually leased apartments/homes and then placed those properties on Airbnb for significant profit.  Has anyone else done this in the suburbs of Boston?  I know with new regulations, it's nearly impossible/impractical to do IN Boston... But I feel there are areas where this strategy could be profitable.

I'd love to hear your thoughts / success stories on this!
