With vacations back on the rise, bed and breakfasts have been popping up in all sorts of locations. Bed and breakfasts are individually owned houses that provide a place to stay and often a meal at a cheaper price with a better experience than a hotel can offer. They’re an easy source of revenue for individuals who can keep up a tourist-based business and maintain a house others want to visit. However, they do require a lot of thought and preparation.
If I’m a homeowner looking to sell my South Florida house, should I keep it as a potential source of revenue instead of selling it for a lesser profit on the traditional market?
The pros of turning your house into a bed and breakfast instead of selling your house: a steady stream of revenue, a foot in the door of a steadily growing niche business, and an avenue for you to explore your creativity. Especially if you live in a location in South Florida that is often visited by tourists, a bed and breakfast could be incredibly lucrative. Even homeowners in less popular locations than South Florida, like East Texas, have found that their bed and breakfasts have done well with a world that is tired of not traveling. And it is a creative business. Instead of just a hotel room, most renters of bed and breakfasts are looking for originality and a unique experience. How you decorate, how you organize, and how you present your home matters and it can be completely based on your personality.
Of course, the cons are that it takes a significant amount of time, money, and effort. You not only have to have a home to begin with, but you have to be able to turn it into an experience that strangers will be able to appreciate. This includes remodeling, purchasing new furniture, new decorations, and rethinking the entire home to be something that sells.
Unfortunately, the cons with selling your home on the traditional market are similar. If you don’t have the money to redo your home in a way that is going to be attractive to strangers, either on listings or on bed and breakfast websites, you are going to be hard-pressed to find any sort of way to sell your house or make a profit from it at all. At least, with these two options. Try a non-traditional homebuyer like Joe Homebuyer South Florida to sell your house fast without worrying about appearances.
