VRBO / AIRBNB - starting to show up in Irvine
- Thread starter OC troll
- Start date
NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
If you can keep it rented out for enough days per month, might net you more, even with the increased cleaning/turnover costs. $300 per night versus $3000-$3500 a month. Or, maybe the long term rental market is oversaturated with supply in Irvine and they can't find a good long term tenant so they have to resort to this.
HOA can fine you. if you don't pay fines I think you could be foreclosed upon for nonpayment ( or is it just foreclosed upon for nonpayment of HOA dues?)
If I see this sh!t going down in my hood I will make it my personal mission and enlist help of all my attorney friends to prosecute that owner/investor to the fullest extent possible under the law.
I believe TIC, who recorded the CC&R's for all their developments, retains at least one seat on the HOA board forever to keep tabs on what goes on in their developments. TIC does take CC&R violations very seriously, especially in their signature developments like Orchard Hills. I know someone who got sued by TIC for flipping a new house back in the gold rush days of 2004-2006 (CCR prohibits resale at new builds at TIC developments for one year).
Doesn't make any sense why someone would post their mil plus home on AIRBNB - you're better off renting to a long-term renter whom you know will be held accountable and more responsible vs some randoms staying the night.
Also, who the heck wants to stay in Irvine of all places while on vacation? BORING - especially when there's Corona Del Mar and Newport listings, but stranger things have happened!
That PP one got busted by the HOA (I think) and is now up for sale.

A better question would be why would anyone want to live in someone else's house. Living in someone else's house is just gross. Hotels get inspected by the authorities (health, fire, building, etc), some dude's Stonegate pad doesn't. What if the homeowner is a perv?ps9 said:
I believe the buyer has to sign a form regarding withholding's and they have some responsibility in the mix so as a buyer, I would indicate the house hadn't been owned for 2 years and I think the state would withhold the funds. That said, no idea if most buyers would check that box or not.AW said:

I don't really think it's for "vacation". A few months ago, a friend of mine who lives in PS booked two VRBOs in PS for siblings/parents/inlaws coming in for a birthday party. Much easier to stay in a house with a full kitchen and multiple bedrooms than singular hotel rooms especially with young kids. The one in PP apparently was rented out as a post prom party pad by some high school kids. They don't care about having an ocean view - they just need a place to do "stuff". I wouldn't rent one for various reasons - but apparently there is a market for it.

Which apparently involves washing down a mattress afterwards... ewww.bones said:

Short term rentals 30 days or less are banned by the city of Irvine, unless its in a hotel-motel zone. It will be interesting to see if these houses bought by investors specifically for the purpose of renting out on AirBnB will now be put up for sale. Anyway, you now have some real ammunition (not just the HOA CC&Rs) if you want to stop this from this going on in your neighborhood.
