Thanks @Kyle Doney you read my mind, HOAs up there are crazy expensive & there's more restrictions with them.

Hey @Kyle Doney I was just considering the same thing and came across your post.  I was actually thinking of buying a condo and turning it into a ski condo share, with 6-10 people sharing a condo/townhome for about 6 months and then potentially using it as a vacation rental during the off-season, as I know there are always people along the Front Range looking for a seasonal rental.  Have you made any progress since the last post?

Can't wait to meet more BP peeps! 

Welcome @Rebecca Rodriguez this is a great place to learn! I'd suggest listening to the podcasts as a great way to start.

Welcome to BP @Smiley Bennett and @Nicole C.! There are some awesome people here who are more than willing to share their experience. 

Best of luck!

Welcome to the BP family @Keith Anderson!  I recommend listening to the podcasts, there's tons of helpful information in those.  I currently rent a spare room on Airbnb in Denver and I love it.  I'd be more than happy to share what I've learned from that, Denver is a great rental market!

Cheers!

@Jeremy Kleier I currently rent out a spare room in my house in Denver and I might a pretty good chunk of change from it, and it's only one room compared to what you're thinking of renting an entire unit.  I think it sounds like a good idea.  I've only had good experiences with Airbnb so far (I started renting out my spare room last May), I haven't had any destructive or worrisome renters (the host/guest reviews come in handy because guests won't be accepted to hosts' homes if they leave a bad impression), you can set your own cancellation policy to ensure you still get paid even if guests don't show up (which has never happened to me), and I personally think it's less wear and tear on your home because they're not living there permanently and most guests are usually out and about exploring the town during their stay.  The only downside I can think of is the increased cleaning due to higher turnover of guests vs. permanent renter (but you can always add the cleaning fee to the reservation amount if you want, I just add $10 to every reservation for my time).  If you have any questions, I'd be happy to share more of my experience.

Hey Joel!  I actually run a free Realtor referral service for buyers, sellers, and investors.  I'd be more than happy to connect you with agents in Buffalo if you'd like.  Let me know and we can work out the details of who and what you're looking for.

Great party and great people.  Congrats on the 10yrs BP!
