Should I rent FULL HOUSE or TWO separate units?

[Lexi775]

Just getting starting with AirBNB and our property is two separate units in one house, one downstairs and one upstairs. They can be separated by a door and different entrances or it also works to rent out the whole house for larger groups. We are trying to decide if we should rent the whole house or as two units. We are in Hawaii, so there's a lot of people that travel here for destination weddings, family vacations, etc. and the whole house idea could make a lot of sense. The previous owners did that but we want to make sure we are making the right decision. What are your thoughts on it?

You can do it as both by setting up three listings . One for downstairs, one upstairs and one for both properties. (Make sure you link the calendars so you don’t get double bookings).

Hi @Helen3. Reading your answear I decided to ask for your help. I have an apartment that is split in two studios. Each of the studios has all the facilities. Room, bathroom, bedroom and kitchen and 2 separate entrances. Can I set 2 separate listings using the same license number?

You would need to ask your local government or whoever awards licenses in your area @Leandro484 

I would imagine you would need a license for each property.

I have a very similar situation with my home and looking for the best route to take. I can rent upstairs, down stairs, or the entire house...so I suppose 3 separate listings with synced calendars? When building my 1st listing, would it be recommended that I post "An Entire Place" as the initial selection option for an upstairs unit with descriptions inside that listing outlining that it is the upstaris unit and all it's accomodations/ammenities, then a new listing for the downstairs unit with same description, then a 3rd listing for the entire house, both floors? Thanks! ~Nick
