Buying a property for AirBnB and own use

[ejdme]

Which cities in Europe would be good for this? Having reliable property management services, good yields and low upkeep.

Ideally, I would also like to finance that through a mortgage (a larger deposit than usual is expected and fine). I have a stable employment contract in Switzerland if that helps with arranging a mortgage.

I would go for a city that has a good nightlife (I’m in my 20s so it still matters lol) and a selection of modern apartments.

@ejdme We don't do that in here

@soniafwlr Kinda rude

 

[kwano]

@soniafwlr It’s a financial sub, if you can’t talk about one of the 2 most popular ways to create and accrue wealth what can you talk about?

 

[ejdme]

@soniafwlr Is there another subreddit that focuses on property investments in Europe?

 

[soniafwlr]

@ejdme Try r/airbnbsucks

@ejdme How about not making the property more expensive for locals?

 

[robbiedaug]

@imaginashawn How about answering something more related to the topic?

 

[imaginashawn]

@robbiedaug It is. It's a "don't do it"

 

[robbiedaug]

@imaginashawn With all respect that something OP never asked

 

[imaginashawn]

@robbiedaug He asked for an opinion on Airbnb rents. And the opinion is that we hate it when people do this.

 

[robbiedaug]

@imaginashawn Nah he didn’t ask our opinion about Airbnb. He asked which cities in Europe are good for Airbnb investment. You definitely can hate it, but that’s not the discussion about the ethics and how you understand that

 

[robbiedaug]

@ejdme Airbnb is lots of job, you can not even imagine how much and in Europe it hardly ever beats the normal rent from my experience. Do you have any specific reason to use Airbnb?
