New House Hacker
I finally bought a home with a finished basement and separate entrance to house hack. I was a cohost renter taking care of air bnb and vrbo and it was doing well and when the landlord said the rent was going to be $2900 I decided we needed to buy a house to do the same. I was hoping we would do well as we are really close to a lot of stuff. 5 minutes from University and Childrens hospital, 16 minutes from the airport. We are 25 minutes to downtown Denver. We will have a kitchenette with a good size toaster convection oven, insta pot and microwave. Plus a good size fridge. No stove. I guess I noticed air bnb and vrbo slowed down sooooo much at our old place. I am wondering if that will be the same for our new place. It is bigger with more amenities. I don't want to do long term rental. I would be open to travel nurses but everything I read is they are not interested unless there is a full kitchen and laundry room.
The back yard may be closed off as we have a lot of work to do out there and the laundry room is in a room but has a bit to finish that room and we thought we should close that off until we can fix it up.
We haven't listed as we are still finishing it up. I hope to get photos done next week.
My question is where the best platform is to post or maybe two platforms to post for our situation. I also red about direct booking is this a good route too. I would love to fill it up but that seems impossible based on the booking trends I have been reading about. Suggestions! In Aurora/Denver near Central park.
