Apparently Trump could get $1,150 per week letting out the White House.
It's the other people in the house...

#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
There are plenty of AirBnB places in fairly touristed places in the developing world for 15-20€/day.
Room or a whole house?
Using Airbnb, I rented an entire 2 bedroom apartment in downtown Belgrade, Serbia for about 13 days. With fees, the price was $380-ish USD, just under $30/night. It was a really good deal!

#44For everyone wondering how much the White House could rent for on Airbnb (132 bedrooms/35 bathrooms). $157,920/week

#45Hobart, Australia: the estimate from this page for 1 week of renting, would cover a monthly of an interest only mortgage.
When I have looked into it before, that's more or less what you would expect. 1 week holiday let = covers mortgage for month. It's almost exactly that (within 10%) for the estimate of my house.
There is a big difference between a regular mortgage and an interest only mortgage.

#46Curious to see how it relates to the mortgage of some houses.
Before going straight for the mortgage repayment question, I wonder how many take up proper insurances to cover worst case scenarios (i.e. property getting fully trashed in a drug/alcohol binge party scenario) - and how much they cost.

Lincoln bedroom @ https://whitehouse.gov1.info/visit/index.html 400$ / night. So 7 * 400 * 132 = 369,000 / week. Making that's a hefty bulk discount ;-)
PS: And yes this is a parody.

#48Gave me the exact same rate for my current apartment (1600sq ft Capitol Hill Seattle) and my previous condo (1100 sq ft NuLu Louisville, KY). My rent here is 3.5x what my mortgage was in Louisville and from personal experience in both places the demand for short term rentals in Louisville is nothing like it is in Seattle. So yeah... probably not accurate for the addresses I checked.
or maybe you overpaid for your apartment. it's not uncommon in cities on the west coast for prices to irrationally exceed the possible rental income.
I should have better specified... the rate per night makes sense for the place in Seattle, but is way overpriced for the place in Louisville.

#49There's no way a 4BR/3B house in Las Vegas (Summerlin, to be exact) is going for 1500 a week.
Nice try, though.

#50For my own reference point in Wilmington DE. It was saying daily 130 for home, 55 for room. I rented out rooms at 15$ a night. I was constantly told I was overpriced for the area. Despite providing free weekend breakfast, and Friday night dinners.
