I am interested in hosting others' STRs/AirBNBs. Other than the obvious choice of Facebook, where are some others good places where I can find property owners or landlords (rental arbitrage/subletting) that are looking for STR managers? Thanks in advance!

Quote from @Franky Aikens:

It's better sweet, but after just two years in Philadelphia, I'm moving back to New York to another fully reno'd house in 6-8 months.

The sweet part: I'm moving to a town I love, and into a house, we'll renovate in the way we want to live for the next 20 years.

The bitter part: We took a fixer-upper in one of the most desirable areas of Philadelphia (East Passyunk) and renovated it into an absolute gem. My wife is a high-end residential interior designer, and our house looks as beautiful as the multi-million dollar homes she designs for her clients. Everyone whose seen our place (including appraisers and agents) said it's unlikely that there's another home like it in South Philly. Could we sell it? Of course, but I don't want to.

So, my question is - given the current housing market, interest rates, and the opening of the city (bye-bye covid) - should I rent or do short/mid-term stays?

I too am in a similar situation in Columbus. I bought a duplex in a very desirable part of town and remolded it down to the studs! We were faced with the decision to either rent long-term or Airbnb. We met with an Airbnb manager and they gave us proforma that nearly doubled the net amount of income for our unit. I would say if your income from airbnb will be at least 2x that of long term renters, then do it!

Steven: Where does one find AirBNB managers outside of Facebook? Or does has anyone else found AirBNB managers in unique places?

Hi Ryan! I'm new to investing as well, and I'm an agent in the SA area. I may not have the experience you need just yet, but I am happy to make connections for you if needed.
