For many Americans, the sharing economy is quickly becoming a way of life; whether it’s ridesharing, co-working or co-living arrangements, these have easily become something people prefer. Today, millions of people are constantly traveling for business and pleasure. When traveling as much as some do, professionals want the freedom and flexibility that comes with the ability to offer their apartment on Airbnb short-term. Unfortunately, many renters aren’t able to take advantage of listing their rental on sites like Airbnb because their buildings do not allow it. This is why many residents are making the decision to not renew their lease and are moving to Airbnb Friendly Buildings. So, what if you could rent out your home to short-term renters while you’re traveling and make some extra income?

Airbnb friendly buildings make it possible to have your own piece of real estate to call home and still travel as much as you want. By becoming an Airbnb host, it allows people to travel for months on end with the the ability to create an additional revenue stream and see their take-home income soar. This is new and exciting amenity that can take only a few minutes to get started if you’re building is already Airbnb Friendly.

Do you want to rent out your home to a short-term renter?

Short-term rentals are an attractive amenity for many reasons. Apartment buildings are particularly popular among Airbnb guests because they have amenities guests love, located in popular housing areas where other housing may not be available, and property managers and homeowners associations guarantee that they are well-kept. Check out this list of 15 Airbnb friendly buildings that have partnered with Pillow.
