Airbnb for D.C. Interns, Students & Recent Grads?

I'm curious to know if anyone here has experience or is currently servicing this niche market in D.C. proper or even in VA or MD? I'm considering building a platform to let others reach these customers but wanted to take the pulse of this forum first.

  • Are you currently serving this niche?
  • What has your experience been like so far?
  • Do you think this is a growing or declining customer segment in D.C.?
  • What would be your biggest concern in dealing with these customers?
  • Would you participate in a platform, similar to Airbnb, that was designed strictly to target these customers in our area?

I have a decade of domain expertise serving this demographic and have first hand knowledge of how profitable it can be if done correctly.  I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have about this very niche investment strategy in our area.

Thank you all in advance for your feedback :)

This is a declining market with 3 of the DC area jurisdictions recently passing legislation limiting how many days you can AirBnB a property, and limiting it to owner occupants only. This is no longer a viable business solution in the metro area.
