Air BNB Rental Arbitrage

[Celina Smith]

Hello all.  I recently heard a podcast about airbnb partnering with some apartment complexes to allow rental arbitrage.  I am part of an investment group that is interested in pursuing opportunities in this area.  Does anyone know where I could find more information about these partners or even a listing of complexes?  Thanks in advance!

Ultimately though I agree with @John Underwood and many of the other investors on here that it’s not a smart strategy in the vast majority of cases. For these particular apartments, many have a restriction on how many nights they can be rented and will never be profitable. Bigger picture, it’s risky and doesn’t build equity, so it’s basically just another job.
