What is Rent to Rent Arbitrage?

Rental arbitrage is the practice of renting a property and then re-renting it, typically on short-term rental platforms like Airbnb. In essence, the arbitrageur acts as an intermediary between the landlord and short-term renters. They earn a profit by charging short-term renters more than the long-term lease amount​.

Benefits of Rental Arbitrage

  • Limited Start-Up Costs: Initiating a rental arbitrage venture doesn’t require significant investment. While there might be costs associated with furnishing the property or setting up a profile on a platform like Airbnb, you won’t bear the costs of property acquisition​​.
  • Capital Building: It offers a low-barrier entry into the investment world, helping novices accumulate experience and capital. As profits come in passively, one can explore avenues to expand their “rental empire”​.
  • Property for Personal Use: If you ever wish to utilize one of the rented properties for personal reasons, it’s feasible to do so, offering flexibility and freedom​.
