Does anyone rent out a property on AirBnB or VRBO?
We are dipping our toes into renting out our beach house and have questions.
People ask to rent our property but they want to do it privately to avoid fees through VRBO. We are hesitant to do this as the websites offer protection to property owners. Is this a common practice? Renters finding listings on these websites and then wanting to negotiate offline?
Also, we are getting inquiries to come look at the property in person before hand. Is this common? We are hesitant to let strangers who have not made a commitment to rent (money down, etc) into the house.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
(And if there are any forums that discuss this kind of stuff, would love to know about them!)
