4 Types of Properties You'd Never Believe Could Make You Money on Airbnb

Written by Posted On Thursday, 15 August 2019 07:49

Move over boring hotels, Airbnbs are the new trendiest tourist accommodations. 

With endless options, this offers vacationers with adventurous alternatives to keep every moment of their travel interesting. 

The success of this trend requires not only open-minded guests, but also homeowners willing to open up their abodes to strangers passing through. This may seem like a risky move, but Airbnb owners can make up to $10k a month depending on the convenience and demand of their listing. 

Hosting guests can make for a sound investment if you’re willing to put in the effort to hunt down the ideal unique home. Once the mortgage is paid off and the house is styled to your liking, hosts only have to worry about the minimal costs of maintaining and cleaning the space between guests. 

If this has piqued your interest in getting involved, look no further. Joybird recently conducted an analysis of unconventional vacation rentals in major US cities so you can see what your local market looks like. Do some research to try to tap into a vacation rental style that’s less popular in your city and local tourists will come swarming. 

Castles 

People will jump at any opportunity to feel like royalty. Rentable castles are the perfect opportunity for guests to channel their inner princes and princesses. Plus, it’s easy to upcharge given the added element of regality. This is a stereotypically European classic, but who says we can’t have castle airbnbs in America? Buffalo, NY is home to 16 castle rentals, the most in the US. 

Caves 

On the other hand, more low maintenance guests may want to stay in a home that lets them live like a caveman. Yes, you read that right. A property doesn’t have to be a lavish mansion in order to attract visitors. It can be as simple as a natural landform that’s been upscaled a little to welcome modern tourists. 

Farm Stays 

Farm owners may look at their home as nothing more than their traditional, boring place of work. But for a person who’s lived in a big city their whole life, farms can be a nice switch up from the fast-paced urban life. Even a spare room can be transformed into a rentable Airbnb offering. This invites those who want to get in touch with nature and explore the country life. 

Tiny Homes 

Tiny homes are quickly gaining popularity. While they may be too small for someone to commit to living in 24/7, they can be a fun experience for a temporary getaway. Property owners should beware of hidden costs of tiny homes - they may be small but they can pack a punch on your wallet. Know what you’re signing up for before embarking on this not-so-tiny adventure. 

No matter what property you chose to make your Airbnb project, make it different. One of the biggest selling points of Airbnb is the fact that there are unusual options. Spice up the space with some creative decor and get ready to welcome travelers from far and wide!
