STR in East Boston

[Carolyn Yates]

Looking to buy and manage a short-term rental in East Boston or South Boston? I'd love to connect with locals who are currently involved or planning to get into the short-term rental market. If you're in the Boston area and have experience with STR, let's connect!

@Carolyn Yates the Airbnb page seems to break down the types of rentals you can do in Boston fairly well (pasted below). Having seen earlier proposals for Boston ordinances it seems a pretty reasonable compromise proposal to allow residents to offset Boston’s sky high prices by renting out all or part of their homes, while preventing non-local investors from further removing already limited housing supply (the ultimate fear of all housing departments).

From the AirBnB link above:

Home Share Units: Entire primary home listings where the host is not present during the stay

Limited Share: Shared/private rooms where the host is present during the stay

Owner-Adjacent: A full unit in the same 2-3 unit property where the host also resides
