Hi BP people. Let suppose you have a property that is not renting out. Is it possible to do AirBNB in a property that you are not living in ? What are the implications ?

Yes.  You can do that.  I do it with 23 properties.

Refinery contractors come to my town for work.  They travel.  I get a chance to meet them with my day job before they start work.  I tell them what I have.  Furnished houses with all bills paid.  Full kitchens and a washer/dryer.  2 guys can spend $400 a week and stay in a motel.  3 guys can spend $600 a week and stay in a furnished house.  It's  a no brainer.  I take a group of 2-12 people and show them available houses suitable for their group size.  They pick the one they want, they pay me, I give them the keys and the wifi password.  I come back a week later for the next weeks rent.  When they leave, this lady goes over to the place and cleans it for free.  She also sleeps with me.

Hey @Gael Yimen Yimga . You need to get to the rest of the forum and read. There is a TON of info here on doing exactly what you want to do.

It would take pages and pages to explain everything in this thread. Start at the top and work your way down. There is a ton of info on here that will answer each and every question you have.
