Have you heard of AirBnB.com? If not, you should look into it.
AirBnB.com is a website that enables home owners to rent out their extra rooms/beds/space/ to travellers from all over the world. The concept is simple, match up someone looking for a bed, with someone who has an extra bed. It is a fantastic way to bring in a little extra income and makes it quite simple to do so. Check it out, it is a fresh take on “mortgage helper”.
I had the opportunity to meet with Joe Gebbia today, the co-founder of AirBnB. Joe showed me around their San Francisco offices and we chatted about their growth plans as well as how their international expansion is going. They have a fantastic office space and are up to great things. If you have a client that has an extra room or a basement suite to rent, maybe AirBnB is the solution they have been looking for.
