The washer and dry is located in the basement and it can be locked off to ensure the basement has full privacy and the top unit still has access. The basement unit can gain access through the double doors located on the bottom unit for full privacy. Arvada short term rental rules allow for an investor/non-owner occupant to purchase the home to use as an airbnb. Average rents in the area for a 2 bed is $2100+ for a 12 month lease. The large bedroom on the main floor could be divided to make an additional bedroom to help increase rents to $2900 a month for a 3 bed. keywords: airbnb , abnb , short term , short-term , invest , investor , rent , rental , STR.
