Renting out a property carries some risk of default or damage, but Airbnb carries additional risk as you are dealing with a higher volume of shorter-term guests who may not have the same level of personal stake in the property.Ultimately, the decision to rent or Airbnb your townhouse will depend on your individual circumstances and priorities.

@Jacob Beg You 're right...it's not that hard to do the right thing, regardless of circumstances.

I don't have an answer for you on the forums, but I have worked with several franchise networks, some really good, and some that I wouldn't touch under any circumstances from an owner perspective.  

It’s going to vary a lot based on many circumstances.

You can absolutely request an additional deposit when the circumstances of a tenant's occupancy change materially.  

Varied depending on circumstances, which change constantly. 

Owning and operating a gym... well you need to speak to a CPA as entity structure is based on facts and circumstances.

It should cover this circumstance. 

Learn how to pull cases and review them for assets, facts and circumstances and especially the people problems. 

Due to these circumstances, I am now investigating the possibility of using a hard money loan and was wondering if anyone had any experience with this in the Cheyenne area.
