great story and inspirational. 

So did you have 130k lying around to buy it in cash in the first place?

@Nick C.

I think you hit the nail on the head. What extra amount of rent do you think it would take ?

let's assume you were renting to a person (not a business), and were getting your rent paid on time, a percentage of the airbnb return, and were aware of Airbnb's property damage protection plan (see below). Would you still not do it? 

"Airbnb's Host Guarantee is a property damage protection program. ... It provides up to $1,000,000 USD in property damage protection in the rare event a host's place or belongings are damaged by a guest or their invitee during an Airbnb stay."

Dear landlords,

I recently read the post about AirBNB arbitrage (renting someone's place and listing it on Airbnb). But as a Landlord, would you rent to someone who will list on Airbnb? Why or Why Not? What will it take for you to do this?

Thanks

@Jack B.Appreciate the generosity of your time and wisdom.

But how much money do you take home every month in cold hard cash? How do you make cold hard cash from real estate? If I can't take money from real estate to Panda Express and by a three entree to go, I just don't care. Mr. Wonderful mindset. 

I know people who live their lives with real estate that has "appreciated in value" but still don't have money to spend.
