Airbnb Inc. has enlisted Greystar and other landlords to list rental properties that are also eligible for short-term stays in a bid to attract tenants who wish to become hosts themselves.
San Francisco-based Airbnb is rolling out the initiative in more than 25 markets, including Phoenix, Houston and Jacksonville, Florida, according to a statement Wednesday. Prospective renters can browse apartments on Airbnb’s website and use a calculator to see how much income they could generate through part-time hosting.
