Good article I see @bhull1 got a word in too.

Way to go Bert. He was quoted from the InterNACHI forum…

@bhull1

Many of the homes I inspect are short term rentals on Air BNB, VRBO etc. I had three this week.
inspect them the same as you would any other home, and make sure you point out safety hazards because as a business owner they have a responsibility to their guests more so than to themselves. I mean, if your buyer falls off their own steps and sprains an ankle it’s not as big a deal as if their renter does the same and sues because the steps were dangerous.
Scheduling is a hassle sometimes since the homes are only available in between renters. That’s only one or two days per week. I often see the cleaning crew there during my inspection.
