Which is Harder to Start and Scale, Rental Arbitrage or Cohosting?

Summary

This video discusses the pros and cons of starting out in the short-term rental business through rental arbitrage vs. co-hosting. The benefits to co-hosting include lower upfront costs and engaging with others already in the STR community, but requires significant communication with property owners. On the other hand, rental arbitrage allows the host to profit more readily and scale rapidly, but there are initial costs involved in furnishing the property and acquiring it.
