I've used AIRBNB twice to escort; both times it was in San Francisco...and let me tell you...I felt like I was walking on eggshells the entire time. You have the condo/building staff to hide from, you have your neighbors to hide it from...and there literally could be property owners who hide cameras in their apartments(Not kidding here; I know two escorts who have gotten caught using AIRBNB- and they're both intelligent guys). Only way they possibly could have gotten caught in my estimation was either a) too high of volume or simply b) pinhole sized camera; host was peeping on them and then called AIRBNB.

 

Let's say you rented a unit and the unit owner happens to live above you, below you, next to you, etc- expect him to drop by and believe me...it's gonna get noticed. I'd only AIRBNB a high rise with a buzzer box, so that it's impersonal and won't get noticed and bypasses doormen.

 

Try this one on for size- I just got back from San Fran...and while I was there...the unit I was staying in? Apparently it's not legally supposed to be on AIRBNB / certain buildings outlaw it in their leases. This property owner neglected to tell me he was running off the radar screen- I could have gotten THROWN OUT...luckily, when they became aware it was being rented they had noooooo idea what/who it was being rented to, and then I was out of town by day 4- so I was good to go.

 

Also- for an escorts either HOSTING using AIRBNB or RENTING a unit using AIRBNB....make sure there's a separate cellphone number used in your AIRBNB profile vs. your ad- because when checking accounts for AIRBNB they go through your social media and also reverse check phone numbers. Again, know a guy who got jammed.

 

Good luck out there!

Oh my. Excited and now deflated about AirBNB.

It's just like anything else you do online (yelp, amazon, etc.) Read the reviews and make sure the negatives are not things you care about and the positives sound like your voice. Make sure the amenities you need are there and get all the information before you agree.

I just can't get that out of my mind now. Sharing bathrooms, peeping toms or just hosts that pop in any old time.

That can happen, but is not the norm...

Have any of you savvy business types looked into “Timeshares” and/or “Vacation Clubs”?

As in anything in real estate…location…location…location!

And it is likely a complicated process.

Caveat emptor! But, a timeshare or vacation club membership, purchased on the secondary market, might have promise.

If you have a place you travel to every year (once a year or so) consistently , that could be useful, otherwise the cost would be outrageous for multiple locations and maintenance. I think we are all a little too spontaneous for that. What if Client A wants you to travel the week you scheduled to have your timeshare...that could get awkward.
