Can I Airbnb My House? | Fridays with Fred

Are you planning on buying a home in Southern California to turn it into an Airbnb rental?

Since Airbnb’s launch in 2008, many investors in SoCal, and around the world, have started marketing their rental properties as short-term rentals on www.airbnb.com because it’s a fast and easy way to turn any rental property into a vacation rental.

What’s great about Airbnb is that guests can stay in real homes anywhere in the world and feel like they actually live there, compared to the hotel experience, which offers a one size fits all approach for guests.

The key to success with owning an Airbnb short term rental is to treat that rental like a hotel because even though it’s Airbnb, guest will be expecting amenities comparable to what they would find in most hotels like free Wi-Fi, satellite television, telephone, flat screen TV, fresh towels, a gift basket with fresh fruit/coffee, books, and unique items that connect your rental to the local area.

Airbnb In Southern California

Yes, you have the right to turn your Southern California detached home into a short-term vacation rental that you can market on Airbnb.

Before you purchase a home in just any area you should first verify that the home isn’t governed by HOA or city rules that regulate or prohibit short-term rental properties because some cities have been cracking down on Airbnb and creating more rules to govern short-term rentals, especially condos.

Taking the time to research the rules or regulations that may govern a Southern California home can save you the time, money, and hassle of buying an investment property with the goal of listing it on Airbnb only to find out that it’s prohibited by the HOA or city where the home is located.
