If I owned a furnished, two-bedroom apartment in Paddington, Sydney, as an investment, I could get $1500 per week for it on REA with a six-month lease or $3500 a week on Airbnb.
These numbers are just taken from the REA and Airbnb websites, so not what you’d call research. But at face value it means I’d only need to rent the place for about half the time on Airbnb to be better off than leasing it.
