Air BnB Experience - Atlanta

[Ryan Horne]

Just curious here. Anybody messed around with purchasing a property in the College Park area near the airport to accommodate Air BnB guests traveling to and from Atlanta? I imagine this could be a fairly lucrative deal. Anybody with any experience or insights here? Is there really any way to analyze potential Air BnB earnings besides just talking with current people doing this?

Thanks!

@Ryan Horne, echoing what @Jake Knight said. It really depends on if people in the area are actually staying in College Park.

Delta employees may house their employees there for training, but if Delta offers free hotels for their employees during the duration of their training, then that would suck for an AirBnB business if that is the main source.

For me, the main thing is to find out why people look for hotels in the area (jobs, schools, constant conventions), and if there is any demand staying outside of hotels by looking at other people's AirBnB calendar.
