I suspect that weeds out a lot, but beyond that, I don't screen my Airbnb guests.I've haven't had to take advantage of AirCover yet in six months of operating an Airbnb, so I'm honestly curious how this works.

@Jonathan Greene I'm not sure what you mean by "most will not cash flow as an out-of-country investor" as it might suggest that the cash-flow of a given property has something to do with the nationality or residence of the owner but, in any case, you're absolutely correct that, historically, the net rental yields of LTRs in US cash-flow markets like the Mid-West have been typically higher than in the average European market, although that wouldn't be the case for many other US markets like California or New York.

Quote from @Erwin McClain: I had rental properties out of state but I have been renting rooms in my primary residence for over 10 years since my 2 boys have moved out.

Based on the tenor of your posts, I've got to ask - do you have your primary residence squared away?

Let’s be honest, I’ve watched folks who jump into this game as if playing roulette.. firing off offers on duplexes in Phoenix or leaning on some “sure-thing” house hack in Austin without ever sketching out their plan.

A shopping mecca five times bigger than Lakeline Mall, a 21st century mega-factory, an ever-growing Apple campus and a somewhat secret but sizable spot occupied by Tesla.With a population increase from 2020 to 2023 of 14.5%, Williamson County is clocking more new residents than all other counties in this fast-growing region.

Take the $250,000 primary residence exclusion every two years .
