Be a baller like me and rent a 5 bedroom home then rerent the other 4 rooms on airbnb and pay net negative rent in motherfucking mountain view All for the cost of doing some extra laundry and changing sheets every now and again. You gotta clean a bit more too but that's stuff you shoulda been doing anyway. If the check-in/out load gets too annoying just put discounts on longer stays and fill up on on 3-month interns who are desperate not to sign a real lease.

I tell people I rent out 4/5 of the house to strangers and they're usually surprised to find out I hardly ever see them even though I spend most of my home time in the common areas. When you're staying at an AirBNB you're pretty much either vacationing, business traveling, or doing a temporary work reassignment and thus you don't really have much cause to dole around the house.

The Management posted:and you're declaring that extra income on your taxes, certainly? I get to deduct a good chunk of the rent to compensate though.

Condiv posted:you have a house? i thought you lived in a hacker hostel and ate dinner at a cafeteria table It's a pretty sweet deal actually because he has no reason to worry about damages to the place. Thus I can actually have pets. People in this area are insane about that. I've seen homes for rent with literal $15,000 security deposits that have strict rules against pets. How an animal could possibly cause that amount of damage unless it's a pet elephant or something I have no idea.

obstipator posted:if anyone in ur hacker house codes anything of value, try to take credit for a piece of it somehow So I've considered it, but certainly not at this point in my career. Maybe if I'm stupid wealthy and still renting out rooms in my house in a couple decades* * note I'll never have a family because no one will ever love me

infernal machines posted:also, shadowhawk, you do realize you're primping over how you run a flophouse but with an app right? like, i live in a fairly lovely part of town and i could list probably 20 places in two blocks that do the same thing, the difference being they don't have a techno-shim between them and the renters. congrats on embracing uber for housing

Notorious b.s.d. posted:yeah in case you missed it, shadowhawk first moved into, then ended up running, an illegal hotel for techies. his dirty business is exactly what prop F is trying to destroy I used to live in a hacker hostel and ended up "investing" in it and then running the bookkeeping, where I quickly discovered the group of 3 houses was a big money pit. I then got to stay there for free, although cost-wise it worked out to slightly better than renting. I carried on bookkeeping after i didn't need to live there anymore as a favor to the owner, who is a friend of mine and had to keep dumping her personal cash into it to keep the place afloat. I advised her to close it earlier but she was a bit too attached to the community that'd emerged around it. The venture never broke even on an annual basis in terms of cash, though it did allow a person to stay at each house without paying in exchange for taking on cleaning/booking duties. AirBNB made a reasonable profit though. quote:they stuff like 30 desperate loving nerds in a 4 bedroom house by filling every room with bunkbeds. i cannot imagine the squalor. or odor.
