OT...Vrbo/Airbnb
- Thread starter cavalot

I had one and it was profitable, but it's not passive income. The unexpected part was that you have to watch your management company closely. Their maintenance crew is a profit center. Unless I am renting to help pay for a vacation home for my personal use, I don't think I'd do it again.
As a renter, I will only use VRBO. I would never consider AirBnB.
The two people I know who rent their property both say AirBnB is way better. Of course they do.

Did you use a larger company for management like Evolve or something more localized?
I own a chalet in Chamonix and a yacht slip in Monaco. What do you want to know? Although I don't use VRBO or AirBnB to list.
Yacht slips in Monaco are not for sale because they are owned by the state.
Ahhhh you trickster!
Id love to have something in Colorado or Utah. But they are uber expensive. Could go south and probably get a better return for starters.
Agreed. We had one for awhile and dumped it. Not worth the hassle and we also didn't get to use it as much as anticipated due to kid activities.
Look at Northern Michigan (not the UP unless you want to be remote). Lots of water and trees, without the CO price tag.
On two different properties, I went through three different companies. Two were small, local companies, run by morons. The third was a small, local company run by morons, then bought by a large company. After they were acquired, things remained the same. PM me and I can bore you to death with the details.
I've been thinking about something on a lake in Minnesota that we could rent. I'm becoming aware that the STR is kind of a hot button with local government. Apparently neighbors hate short term rentals? We had to find a new cabin last summer because the one we liked could only have 4 people and there was no wiggle room for our 5th person.
Good luck in FL. We will tax and crush you on insurance . We don’t want you losers in our state turning neighborhoods into a place for the poor that can’t afford a hotel.
I keep getting calls from various companies asking about my time share properties, and if I'm ready to sell.
Looking for a clever response to these losers.
