Airbnb Arbitrage Doesn't Work. (R2SA In UK)

In a co-hosting model, the risk is spread as operators take a commission of the total revenue, meaning they win and lose together with the property owner, avoiding fixed monthly liabilities.
Mistakes to avoid
A common mistake in Airbnb Arbitrage is underestimating the difficulty of passing letting agent gatekeepers, who are often resistant to company lets due to lost commission and past negative experiences with arbitrage operators.
