what if airbnb created a network of properties that you could buy fractional ownership in via a token?

it's a win-win.

airbnb monetizes broker fees from their ownership marketplace.

and you as the owner can both earn rental income and have the flexibility of multi-city living.

Great idea, but it’s very tough to execute. It’s only profitably to own an Airbnb because you’re able to charge way above pro-rated rental rates for the period desired. There are a few “fractional ownership” / multicity rental platforms that haven’t achieved scale because of the price point for members.

Would love to see it happen at some point though, and I’m sure someone will figure out a model that works.

I was referring to the part of the model where people buy fractional shares of a property, it’s difficult to find a price point that makes sense for the owners.

I think I misunderstood though. You’re saying let people own fraction of managed airbnbs, to rent out and earn income, not fractionally live in?

you don’t own the airbnb, you own the network of owned and managed airbnbs. how does this change at scale?
