@Garrett Hawk"...men have less scruple in offending one who is beloved than one who is feared, for love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails."

My reasoning is that it offers a wealth preservation model that is less affected by changes in the national economy and at the same time creates a second source of cash flow (though at a slower pace).That is why those who flip homes, wholesale, own real estate brokerages, and property management companies, etc, all seem to grow their wealth far faster than those who choose a 100% buy and hold rental property model.

If my line of work pays $400-500 per hour, and talking to tenants and realtors and lenders for hours on end is probably a bad use of time.So I figure, diversifying into a different asset class that is totally passive can't hurt since it won't materially affect my financial independence and just provide more income down the line.Real estate as wealth preservation is nothing new.

If BofA or Chase can outsource property preservation, management and evictions for all their REOs in every state, then there's nothing preventing airbnb from doing the same.  

They do not care or have a mandate for water preservation, or wildlife habitat.
