Renting Out A Spare Room on Airbnb... Is It Worth It?

[@kirillmitchell888]

I wish you had done it with someone that is actually renting a room in their house. That situation is much more interesting because it has so much more inherent problems attached to it.

[@praslisa]

exactly

[@nexusyang4832]

Very true. She did find a bit of a unicorn.... ;)

[@alleygray4338]

[@ellam2490]

Renting a room through Airbnb in their house it's not different than having house mates and house rules. The house rules are posted on Airbnb and people have to follow, example no smoking inside the house etc. Airbnb has all the setup you need to write on the description everything that is important for you and your property.

[@Youbeil]

I’m a disappointed that she didn’t find someone who rents an actual room and not a private suite in their home.

[@nitasmith7993]

The person you interviewed had the perfect setup / floor plan to still have privacy for her and the renter. It’s not like you have a stranger living down the hall or in the basement…

[@suelyons531]

Some towns won't let you rent out a portion of your house so it's good to know those laws before deciding to buy something with the intention of supplementing your mortgage via Airbnb.

[@nexusyang4832]

Very good point. Must check your locality and/or condo association.

[@707Bubby]

You actually can typically have more luck renting out a portion of your house compared to the whole thing. Like a lot of cities have rules against Airbnb where you cant have a second home/secondary property for the sole purpose of Airbnb and it being purely being a short term rental home, so they make laws/rules where you can only rent it out a certain number of times a year while you are not also there, OR it has to be your main permanet address that you are at a certain percent of the year. Main issue with renting out a portion of a place you live will probably come from landlords if you have one who dont want a bunch of temporary rentals at their property. Most cities/towns just dont want to be over populated with rental properties because it makes it more expensive to live there and find homes, as well as having a home(s) that is a short term rental is undesirable typically for the people who live around them because you have a lot of people in and out who dont particually care about their neighbors or about the comunity or taking care/being respectful of the space.

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

As someone who’s done this, it’s really awkward and time consuming. The cleaning, the calls, the weird people, I much prefer a permanent roommate.

[@gidd]

Thats a personal experience everyone I know that runs an Airbnb spends 1-2 hours a day at most

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

@@gidd Yeah, that’s a lot of hours per day. Also, I spend zero hours per day on my roommate.

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

@@gidd I don’t even call the contractors to fix things when they break, she does and I pay (currently deployed). It’s a very easy situation to manage. And I will say, I could contract out cleaning, but I wasn’t doing that. At the end of the day though to each their own.

[@tinnssaa]

It really depends. My family has had a rental in their basement for over 20 years. We only recently got on Airbnb (2 years ago) but it’s basically the same as before, even easier. We clean it ourself and it takes 2 hours. But that’s only every 4-10 days. Maintenance is pretty low because we very very rarely get bad guests. Maybe 10 bad ones in 20 years of renting. But we are located in a smaller city so I guess we have a different demographic. It also depends on what kind of person you are. If you like to meet and talk to new people it’s really fun! My family always loved this part of the job. It pays about 2x of our monthly mortgage.

[@kristinrodriguezrealtordmv3434]

To each their own. Airbnb was the easiest money I ever made and when I didn't feel like having guest or had family or friends over I just blocked my calendar! It's pretty dope!

[@electricpenguin32]

My fiancé and I used Air BNB for the first time a couple weeks ago and stayed at one very similar to this, it was a basement apartment type thing in someone’s actual house. It was a great experience! They had a separate entrance and gorgeous views and we were mutually respectful so it worked out very well.

I love the simplicity in the Airbnb room. The way she's made it look so clean and open makes it feel inviting!

[@707Bubby]

People renting out just single rooms in their home/or their own bedroom, is what I believe Airbnb was originally intended to be. It has kind of become something people really make a living doing and where people are buying house/space JUST for the purpose of turning them into an Airbnb, but it really was meant to be more simple like "oh I'm going to be out of town or I have an extra room I'm not using, hey I can just rent it out a few days a make a little extra money here and there without really doing anything", similar to how ride-sharing was intended to be, now a lot of people do it full time, but it really was made to be like "hey Im going to this place, I'm sure SOMEONE else also is, it would be cool if there was a way to just connect and find a person to give me a ride instead of going through a cab company"

[@ForeignWarren]

Mhmm. Almost forgot they used to be called "ride sharing" companies. In CA they almost passed a proposition to force the apps to classify drivers as full time employees smh. That woulda sucked for me and others who just do it on the side for some extra money

I rented rooms in a shared house in Philadelphia it was not too bad. It was expensive but decent. It can be a bit easy if you have self entry rooms and things like that. I plan on doing this possibly in Houston texas where im at when i get my first home so i dont have to pay for the mortgage. And also have some extra cash on deck. But im get a house that has at least 4 to 5 bedrooms. And charge like 600 a month for each room. In Philadelphia one house i was in was like a hotel and had my own kitchen and bathroom they was charging $2500 for that 1 room i was in and they had 12 rooms in that house. So yeah plenty money and people would pay for an affordable place to live. You just got to do it right. And make sure to calculate your profit to invest to get more rental property in ereas people want to stay.

[@ellam2490]

Some towns won't let you rent out rooms or portion of your home through Airbnb without a permit or following specific rules.

[@trails3597]

I rented 2 rooms on AirBnb for a few years. It covered the mortgage, condo fees and utilities. I used it to pay down the mortgage. I became a Super Host which is a definite a plus because renters know that the place and the host is reliable. I attracted longer term renters (6 weeks to 3-4 months) because I was close to good public transit and was not in a tourist zone. I meet lots of interesting people. People from 20 different countries in all. Some on internship, students, business types on contracts or courses and the occasional short stay tourists. AirBnB is good to the hosts. They respond promptly and handle the money, so no hassles there. It does get tiring in the long run as you are always on duty, so to speak.

There's no doubt I would do this if it paid for all my rent and it was as convenient as Michelle explained it to be! I once heard about a guy who rented out part of his house to people he knew and trusted so that he could pay off his mortgage faster. I thought it was super creative and smart.

[@pjasmine]

In the UK, the have this called Bed & Breakfast (b&b). When I was working in the UK for a while, I stayed in b&b and paid the rent weekly. ( Rented a room in the owner's house ). The rent included breakfast. I stayed with the owner and shared kitchen and all utilities. The owner changed the bed sheets weekly. (Rent was British Pound 87/week). For one year, I moved from one b&b to another then I ended up renting my own place for the second year. It was a nice experience... 😃 That was in 2001-2002.

I've been renting out rooms on my own since 2012 using Craigslist. Mixed results, but mostly positive. It's paying for my house and most bills. Obviously, 10,000 hours to master any skill applies to this as well. Had to get over my "Party-House" days and "renting to friends" days. It's just a business.

The best way I've heard about doing this (on one of these channels, actually) is via a modified split-level: install a separate door to split the house into two, and make any renovations as necessary. It essentially turns the split-level into a duplex, but top/bottom as opposed to side-by-side.

[@donnahampton3632]

I just started renting a room in my residence on Airbnb. I love it so far! I have had a long term renter, and I didn't like it after about 3 months, but he was there for 2 years, as planned.

[@lokieec.r.p.swarrior8740]

My husband just retired and we never had children and we were thinking of doing this very thing. We have a room that is separate from us with it's own bathroom & entry. It became even more of a reality after my husband finally joined me in retirement A LOT earlier than expected. We were THANKFULLY smart back in the day with now owning a paid off home and cars (we drive 1, we maintain another for the future) yet thinking foolishly of a future full of traveling. THANKFULLY to the onslaught of the "Tiny home" & "minimalist" lifestyle we thought of this idea of recouping some of the monies we lost due to the "EARLY" event. But upon dissecting our needs to do so further and even with the charm of extra income it really is not the thing for us. There are 2 reasons that stopped us from doing this type of thing. The number one reason being is huge especially with us aging which is SAFETY not only for us for also for my neighbors. Many which are private and would not appreciate a steady stream of different people constantly at all hours of the day & night. With that knowledge we figured out what we really wanted which basically is companionship from a distance in the forms of a renter. We had a couple things different from other rooms for rent. The differences were that although the space was very small it did contain all things within a apartment with the added bonus of "all-inclusive-incl. laundry", parking , patio area, and you can have small pet. We are hopeful that this is something dads or moms may want to rent in order to get their children in the the awesome school district we live in as well. We are still new to the retirement scene with both of us but it is great to know that we have this just in case in our minds in the back of our heads.

I have a question about cleaning. How do you organize cleansing between guests? Do you do it yourself? Is there some on demand maid service? Or maybe waive the cleaning fee if guests clean it themselves

[@aksez2u]

I'm not an AirBnB host, but I've stayed in them several times. If someone has a better answer for you, I'm sure they will chime in. There are check-in and check-out times just like in a hotel. The cleaning is coordinated during those times. It's up to the host whether they want to hire a cleaning service or do it themselves. There is usually a hefty cleaning fee tacked on to the nightly rental price that covers housekeeping. I've never seen anyone offer to waive the cleaning fee. I think that would open the door to lots of problems, because fees are paid in advance and you'd have to trust them or refund some of the money. Also "cleaning" involves laundry and changing the bedding as well as restocking consumables. Not practical to expect of a guest.

I rented out an extra bedroom when I lived two blocks from the University. I worked with an organization that found housing for international students. They were with us sometimes 6 weeks, sometimes a whole semester, depending on the program they were in town for. It was culturally interesting and mostly a good experience. And was a necessity financially as a single mom. This was all before AirB&B and before renting a room was a Thing. Being in a college town helped the process.

Airbnb can work well if there is a consistent demand from holiday renters and/or business travellers in your area. Research is needed to see if the math will make sense. This is particularly the case in areas which have a shorter holiday season. Management of a single "Listing" is not difficult, but the time taken to deal with various types of Guests will vary, because some will want to ask lots of questions before deciding to Book. The most complex job for a Host is to set their Nightly Rate just at the right level, so no money is left 'on the table' but at the same time the Listing is achieving an Occupancy Rate as close to 90% as possible.

I have rented a room in my house on airbnb and usually have good results but sometimes you get someone like a traveling nurse that burned incense in the room. When she moved out, it took a few weeks to get rid of the incense smell. Another time a airbnb guest from Taiwan started singing at 2am in his room. I came out of my room and asked him, 'what are you doing?' He was gone the next day on his own. They are not filling out an application so you have to ask them a few questions by messaging them on the airbnb program before you okay their request to stay.

I was thinking of doing this, so this video is just perfect timing🏆

[@OldWurlitzerMusic]

i think you would have to be the type of person to deal with people and renting , like the small hotel business back in the 70's they where every where family owned and they lived there on site or having borders but usually they would stay long periods of time , for me it would be some one i know , you really got to be careful and depending on where you live , that place is a nice roomy room with everything handy

[@NinaThomas]

This was really cool to hear about! I've never wanted to be a landlord but Airbnb could be a good alternative.

[@sandy949]

Great video Shelby. I’ll look up those dog treats!

[@stargazer5073]

No never rent out a room in your home, where you live. But rent out a separate unit.

[@marissah8921]

I'd be curious to know if people who rent apartments and then rent out a room on Airbnb have approval from their landlord or leasing company? A lot of leases ask for approval before you sublet out your lease to someone else, or flat out don't allow you to do so. I also would be curious if people who manage to cover their entire portion of the rent or mortgage are honest with renters about their ability to contribute 0 based on their renter's $$.

[@googiegress]

I work for a property mgmt company. Our leases are professional, follow all laws and standard operating procedures, and lay out everything really clearly so there's no misunderstanding. We absolutely forbid all subletting. It's an insane risk and of course we wouldn't benefit from it even if we did allow it. So why would we? That said, it seems like nobody obeys their lease. We uphold 100% of our end, but then they bring in a bunch of dogs and felons and start making meth. And then when we tell them they have to obey the lease they fucking signed, they act like landlords are bad. Tenants are horrible.

She has a perfect space and I was surprised at the cost of her house payment based on what Shelby is finding w/ rental prices. Although, of course, mortgages have many other factors that effect the final monthly payment.

Hey Janet 👋 I’m thinking about making a video on this. Let me know if that’d be helpful. P.S. If you have any questions about starting & growing your Airbnb business lmk.

[@MichaelIp]

I have a house with 3 bedrooms. I probably wouldn't rent out a room on Airbnb because I like having my privacy. If I had a set up like the girl you interviewed, I'd consider it. But the fact that I'd have to share common spaces with someone I would not do it.

[@MileHighIsland]

Aloha Shelby, if I had the time and space I would totally do this.

[@bantingdearest2962]

great video but i wonder whether it will work here in BOTSWANA

[@michelleobrien6630]

would I rent an Airbnb which is a room in someones house? yes. that's the only type I have rented as I only need a cheap room to sleep in near the venue/event I am attending. Would I rent a room in my own place? Yes, but to long term renters as I've never had a house nice enough or in a suitable location for Airbnb. If I had a well located and attractive home I think higher rental short stay would be more appropriate.

I rent out the spare room in my two bedroom apartment. I usually earn anywhere from about $700 to $1000 a month doing so. My rent is $1300 and most the people are just there when sleeping and it hardly affects me and I barely notice them. I have had a few small incidents but I would still say it is worth it.

Isn't that called Subletting? Does the landlord know or you just do it quietly? I'd love to have a place and get help with the rent like that.

Thanks for another great tips. Love this as usual.😊

My husband and I are thinking about renting our home out for Airbnb. I would definitely do this.

[@becciboonz3708]

You didn’t mention taxes? Does it effect the income a lot ?

[@googiegress]

AirBNB takes a cut, like 20%? A lot of local governments have figured it out by now, so mostly you also have to pay the occupancy taxes on short-term rentals like any hotel, which might be 5%. CA has a state income tax of 10%? And whether the income goes to you personally or to a business you set up, you'd then pay income tax on that.

[@atlfun08]

I don’t think that I could rent a room in my house unless maybe I was open to a roommate situation but I’m kinda over roommates at the moment but I used not like living alone. But I’m wanting to airbnb out my new house after I live it for a few years! If the HOA lets me…lol

[@googiegress]

The trick is, never buy anything with an HOA. HOAs are the worst.
