Rent to rent opportunity.

[Vera944]

Hi! My name is Vera and from East London, UK. It is really nice to be part of something bigger than myself. 🙂

Thank you for having me here.

Please can I ask if there is any way I can convince a landlord to agree to rent to rent? I have tried using my spare room for airbnb but i got scared for my little ones so I had to stop. I enjoy the business, and want to continue but stuck as to how to find a property to lease.

Any suggestions will be more than welcomed. 

Thank you once again. 🙂

Hey @Vera944,

I believe the term you’re looking for is sub-lease. I’ve had a couple of landlords agree to sublease before. What I did was reach out directly to homeowners who were looking to rent their place on platforms like Zillow and Facebook Marketplace. I’d call them and explain the business model.

It didn’t work out with some of them because they were asking for too much, but I can say that cold calling helps. You’ll get a lot of “no’s,” but eventually, there will be a “yes.”

Best of luck! 🙂
