[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. [b]We have an existing AirBNB in Arlington that does quite well, actually (rented 200+ days a year).[/b] But I don't really think I can AirBNB this so that's not my main question.

My questions were:
1) Are people renting whole houses in Arlington as AirBNBs just lying about living there half-time or is there something I am missing? I think the answer is they are lying.

2) If we want to do furnished 30+ day rentals any good suggestions for how to find people? I got one suggestion above, thank you. And I've found a few companies that do this but prefer not to have to give them a 25% cut. Would love other suggestions. It's under a mile to the foreign service language institute, so I was thinking that was a good market, but maybe not from what you all are saying.

3) Should I create a different entity or just do it under our names?

4) Any suggestions in general for new landlords, as we've not done this before?

Thanks[/quote]

So you are lying about living there half the year then too? Why is this so confusing for you?

No, we have an accessory dwelling. We don't rent the whole house. And we live here full-time. So we are 100% following the rules. This would be a whole house rental. There are many whole house rentals in Arlington you can find on AirBNB. I just find it unlikely that most of those are owner-occupied by someone who lives there at least half time. Thus, my question. I am not going to lie, so I want to know if there is a loophole I am not aware of, or if most other people do lie. I guess the third option is that a lot of people are willing to periodically move out of their house for a week at a time if someone happens to rent it, but that seems unlikely to me.[/quote]

I know someone that does this but he is divorced and tries to rent out his house when he doesn't have custody. When the house is rented he stays at his girlfriend's place. Seems like a huge headache but not my circus.[/quote]
