Hi, just sharing my experience. I bought my 2nd property, a 3 bedroom apartment with intention to rent out long term. While waiting agent to help find a tenant, I experimented with this short term let aka homestay and advertised at many platform including Airbnb

Airbnb has the highest traffic, I get mostly international travelers. So far I've hosted families from Aussie, India and Indonesia. This month alone I can get >RM3k revenue

Too bad I've agreed too early to let my unit out for 1 year starting Aug. Would love to try this again next year

My listing at Skudai, Johor:

Thanks to Iskandar development - Legoland and such

I'm surprised that my Airbnb guests are willing to spend and commute from Changi airport to my place
