Renting appartements

Is the AirBnB risk-free for you? Would you get her to only pay rent for months in which you find guests?

Nah it's not. I would pay for every months, guests or not.

Can you afford to try it for 1-3 months with a single flat? Or just try to validate the idea by putting up an ad on AirBnb and see if you get interest.

Check out the vacation rental section on bigger pockets. If you have the time to manage it and get reservers or insurance against someone trashing the place the deal sounds good.

For the other option you could look at student flat shares, they cashflow great. I live in a terrible neighbourhood where all locals are unemployed but the landlord provides good service to international students and drowns in cash. The market rate for my flat is 110k, 4 students in total pay 26k/yr and I expect about 20k of that are profit. I rent from studentflat.co.uk

I'm sure I would have to rent the apartment for the whole year when signing the lease, so I can't just try it out for 2-3 months.

The first apartment she proposed me is huge (6 1/2) and brand new, I could Air BnB it for 200 a night easy.

I have spare money but 1400$ per months is huge. I'm scared that during winter months I would barely be able to rent it at all.

Oh snap, that's a good idea. Instead of renting it per night to tourists, I could rent it per month to students. I'm gonna think about it, thanks.

If the year costs $16.800 you'd only need 84 nights. Let's make it 90 if you have some small problems along the way. 90 days in a year sounds achievable.. you can aim for weekly stays and even up prices around festivals/big sports games etc. depending on location.

200 to me also sounds cheap af for 6,5.. If you only sleep 6 people it's 30$/night and a hotel would be what? 100?
