I am also interested.  Please PM me next. Thanks!

@Jacob Abuata I’ve used Airbnb for one of my units in a 4plex. Very lucrative. Downside is the utilities. I’ve asked in the house rules that you turn off lights when not in use. That is usually enough to remind people that someone has to pay the electric. The other thing to consider, especially with a SFR is the potential of someone throwing a party and trashing the place. Airbnb used to be pretty laissez faire about dispute resolution. I think they’ve gotten better. State explicitly in your rules no parties/no illicit drug use. Also, I have a rule that says only registered guests allowed at the Airbnb without approval from the host. Some of my guests have asked if friends can stay an extra night or whatever and that’s usually fine. That brings up another point. Consider how many people you are willing to have before charging for extra people. A lot of SFR hosts charge after 4-5 people. Happy to answer any questions. I’m looking to expand my Airbnb’s also. ~Adhana
