 Yes, been doing it for some years now. I don't do bedrooms. But as long as they understand their responsibilities... (shared cleaning, etc). Or charge for weekly or semi-weekly cleaning with the rent. 

I usually rent out furnished, for 30+ days. And don't do bedrooms any more. Too much work for the money. But if you clear $1k/mo basically for property management and guaranteeing the rents... if your estimates are right, after vacancy.. it could be a good way to start making money and learning the ropes. 

The subleasing biz is currently my main source of income (20 units total, although I own a few of them..)

SF Bay Summit is this weekend, and we have an awesome lineup of folks from BiggerPockets! Check out the who do you want to see most? @Account Closed

Looking forward to seeing you at the Summit again @Jenifer Levini!

@Sander A Swenson, 
Welcome. I grew up in Nipomo, just south of you. I bought some stuff in the SF Bay during the financial crisis, but am investing in Multifamily (apartment) syndications out of state right now - with a focus on Phoenix. And have a short term rental business also. 

As @Tim Kunz, I'm busy with the Summit right now. But I'll try to hop on to BP more to give some feedback! Welcome to BP Sander! :) 

Feb 16 & 17 is coming up quick folks!
Check out the updated agenda, including Scott Trench, J Scott, Dave Van Horn, Jay Hinrichs, Ben Leybovich, Matt Faircloth, Liz Faircloth, Al Williamson, Elizabeth Colgrove,  and more!! This is NOT a Bigger Pockets event, but you'll see lots of familiar faces!

For those of you around the Bay in San Francisco, Oakland, San Mateo, San Jose, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Hayward, Fremont, Piedmont, Richmond, El Cerrito, San Rafael, Marin, Vallejo, and all the way up to Sacramento.. Don't miss it!

You can condense a year's worth of meetup networking into a single weekend, along with the education from the breadth of our speakers (and always a great time!) This is the 4th year I've held the Summit, and I'm always amazed by the open, sharing nature and "philosophy of abundance" nature of all the speakers and attendees at the event. This networking is what got me traveling the world full time. What do you want to do with your time? Let's get a step closer next weekend at the SF Bay Summit!

@Roman S.,

Here's the agenda :) 

@Jenelle H., 

I saw you on the ticket list. Glad you can make it all the way out! THanks for your patience on the agenda, and all the info is updated in the Whova app also. You can make your own agenda from the sessions, in the app. Looking forward to seeing you there!

 Your one-day ticket is good for either day Mark. Good to see you back for another year, and the venue has all the same accessibility as last year. We'll have lots of volunteers on-site if you need help with anything. See you next weekend! :)

 Hi Albert, 

Thanks for your patience, and happy we could get you set up!
Looking forward to seeing you there next year, and hope all is well :)

@Jenelle H. and @Roman S., I'm going to try to finish it today. 

Saturday is usually focused a bit more on different strategies, and Sunday a bit more focused on the SF Bay Area. We'll be hitting on multifamily, syndications, fix & flip, Airbnb, the economy and recession, note investing, and have some business-related topics. Most speakers will also have a breakout session after their panel discussion, so you can get in a smaller group to ask specific questions.. 

I'll send out an email and post stuff up here too. Let me know if you have any other questions!
