I think I like Airbnb!!

I finally got the nerve up to build a dream bedroom dormer on my second floor overlooking the river. People have always told me, don't spend money on your place because whoever ends up buying this gem on the Gatineau will tear it all out and build a new house. It was the phenomenon called Airbnb that gave me the courage and opportunity to turn my place into a short term rental and create a revenue stream. I'm told that half of Wakefield is doing this and I think that's great. Similar to the Uber taxi service, this internet wonder allows people like me to reach a much wider audience to rent my place out on a short term basis. Last summer, desperate for cash, I rented my place out for 5 months and though I was lucky with house-sitting and journeys here and there, it was quite distressing to be out of my home for so long. So now I can make the same amount of money, go on fun trips and still get to be here in between rentals. Airbnb has given me a chance to do something bold and quite possibly, save me from financial ruin. It also feels good to share my Riverside paradise out to city people who get to experience the beauty and serenity that is the Gatineau river. If its win-win then I love Airbnb but rarely are these money making schemes what they seem!Time will tell.
