How the model and numbers work

What is rental arbitrage?

You lease a rental home with the landlord's permission and host it on Airbnb or Vrbo without buying property.

  1. Pick an approved home

  2. Sign the lease

    Usually through your LLC. We help with the tour, the application and the deal.

  3. List it on Airbnb

    Guests cover the rent and bills. BNBCalc's reports put 38 of our homes at $2,000 or more a month in profit.

Where the numbers come from ↓
Every listing shows BNBCalc estimates for the home: yearly revenue, nightly rate, occupancy, and an estimated monthly profit after rent. A second card shows AirDNA's revenue, rate and occupancy so members can compare two independent sources, and members can open the report behind the numbers. These are estimates, not promises. Real results vary with the market, the season and how the home is run.

Common questions

What is STR Exchange?
STR Exchange finds rental homes whose landlords allow short-term rental subleasing (rental arbitrage: you lease the home and host it on Airbnb or Vrbo). Our team calls landlords and property managers every day, checks the city's short-term rental rules and the numbers, and lists approved homes for members. Members can also send us a custom search, and we set up tours, help with the application, and negotiate the lease.
What does "landlord-approved" mean?
It means our team spoke on the phone with the landlord or property manager and got a clear yes that short-term rental subleasing is allowed. No clear yes, no listing.
Does landlord-approved mean the city allows short-term rentals?
No. City rules are separate. Each listing spells out the local rules so you decide with the full picture, and our 89 city guides to short-term rental rules are free to read.
What does it cost, and when do I pay?
Creating an account is free. Membership is $149 a month after you pass the ID check and are approved. It pays our team to call landlords in your markets every day. The acquisition fee (our finder's fee) is $2,500 for an unfurnished home or $3,500 for a furnished home, due the day you sign the lease and never before. Bulk discounts apply when you take on several homes in the same building.
Can I move forward on just one home?
Yes. If one home is all you want, you can move forward on it without a membership. Tell our team which home and we will walk you through the next step.
What if there's nothing in my city yet?
Send a custom search with your city, budget and must-haves, and our team calls landlords and property managers for you. Depending on the market, it takes from a week to a month.
Who is it for?
First-timers to 10+ unit operators running homes on Airbnb and Vrbo.
Why do you check my ID?
Every new member is verified before viewing addresses or working with landlords. It is a big part of why landlords trust us.
Where do the revenue estimates come from?
Every listing shows BNBCalc estimates for the home (yearly revenue, nightly rate, occupancy, and an estimated monthly profit after rent). AirDNA is shown alongside to compare, and members can open the report behind the numbers. These are estimates, not promises. Real results vary with the market, the season and how the home is run.
