@Brittany DeWitt Thank you! I can't get the data without linking an AirBnb listing, but I'll keep this in mind for later down the road. 

@Account Closed Thanks all for your input! I got in touch with a short term vacation rental management company who confirmed 75% occupancy rate and $100-110 nightly rate over 12 months in that area, which is close to the numbers I got from looking at AirBnb. 

I read the CC&R's which made no mention of rental restrictions. The HOA treasurer said there weren't any, but I'll have to confirm the rules around short-term rentals. The unit is right next to the entrance, so I don't see it as being a high risk for complaints.

Are short-term furnished rentals over 30 days marketed on AirBnb, VRBO, etc., or is there another niche site for that?

Hi Everyone - 

I'm helping someone buy a one bedroom condo by Lake Merritt in Oakland. He wants to use it either as a rental property or AirBnb. Does anyone have any experience doing AirBnb rentals in this area? Any numbers on income, expenses, vacancy rate, etc. you can share? 

@J. Martin I know you have some! :)

Thanks!

Bummer. I'll be out of town, but definitely looking forward to the next one! Thanks @J. Martin for organizing!

Just joined BP less than a week ago and I'm excited to attend this meet-up!
