Airbnb-ing a Primary Residence

[Patricia Kwan]

Hi all - new to the Bigger Pockets forums, so apologies if this has already been asked before, but wondering if anyone here has experience renting out. a private room in their primary residence? I am trying to figure out if people generally run these are sole proprietorships or through an LLC. I'm not sure it's so straightforward to put a room in your primary residence into an LLC but at the same time worried about the risk exposure if I don't - any thoughts on the pros and cons of either would be appreciated!

I think for just one room in your own home with proper and plenty of insurance, there should be no reason to form an LLC…
