I've had great experience with it for my clients on the consumer side but, not the owner/landlord side! As Bob Crane mentioned, John DL Arendsen may be a good resource for you. Good luck!

I have an investor that uses Air BNB with great success. He uses it on about 10 rentals at the beach and rakes in the cash.

Shannon,
Not a fan of either. It has been a 50/50 feedback from those who have. That is not good enough, like Paul S. Henderson, CRS, REALTOR®, . When a pro is at the helm, it makes all the difference. In Paris we rented an apt that was professionally managed...it was better than the best hotel in town in the right address with a lot of space of the two of us to spread out. A

I've had positive experience renting nice properties, once a luxurious VRBO home with a pool for my nephews and niece during a trip to Orlando. Selecting a good local management company is just as important.

There are both & I'm sure you can read online the horror stories as well as the good. 'Mini' renters I call them will treat your stuff like it's a budget motel.

While I don't have any personal experience, most of the reviews I've heard from "tenants" I know have been positive but I know of no one who has been the "landlord". This is a good forum to hopefully find some valuable insight. Good luck.

VRBO is very positive for me. Not so much with AirBnB.

You may want to use Bing to search for issues from the owner's viewpoint. Some jurisdictions have licencing or other regulatory issues or do not allow them, the rules of some condos may not allow it, you should check into income tax, sales tax, personal property tax, property tax and other types of taxes, look into insurance implications. I have also seen articles in the media about some other issues that people have had, for example, experiences with those who they have rented to.

Hi Shanna Hall Yes, we own a number of vacation rentals along the North San Diego Coast and they have been excellant investments for our passive income portfolio.
I just throw a little caution to the wind. Many communities have restrictions and even prohibitions about vacation rentals so you really need to do some due diligence before you get too committed.
Oceanside, CA is very proactive and embraces both VRBO and Air B&B as well as just about any other type of vacation rental that meets their criteria. However, you must follow the rules and regs regarding permitting, licensing and transient occupancy taxes aka TOT (daily rack rate tax)
That stated there are several other coastal cities and communities that are vehemently opposed to it and are starting to implement some stringent restrictions and guidelines.
All in all we use both VRBO and Air B&B as well as booking our own reservations for friends, relatives and regular clients. If you're in a community that is vacation rental friendly go for it!

Shanna, nice to see your face in the Rain again. Best of luck, sounds like you have some wonderful answers here.

You'll need to check with the local governing bodies, but I've heard good things about both VRBO and AirBNB.

Sorry, no experience there. Just check your local state tax laws to see if taxes need to be collected/paid for those.

I know some people who have used Air BNB and have had great experiences. I do not have personal experience.

You reviews matters. Positive side is more visibility. In our area it was the Superbowl game that drew people to search. The downside is you have to pay to these sites.
