Super Bowl & FBR Open house rental...hmmmm...tempting


O.k. gang, my sister just brought up the idea of renting out our homes for the Super Bowl and FBR Open Golf Tournament week at the end of January 2008. I did just a little bit of research and it looks like $1000 per night is a very conservative rate that's being charged for home rentals in the area.

That means we could easily get $7000 if we rented it for the whole week! Now that would pay for a few home improvement projects or our upcoming 30th Anniversary Hawaii Cruise (and then some). The good thing is that we live very close to the FBR Open location and an easy drive to the Super Bowl location.

Now, I just need to figure out where we would stay that week (with Shredder, our cat), then I need to talk Terry into letting strangers stay at our house when we're not there. We recently had a couple stay here while we were out of town, but it was a missionary couple from Japan, so he figured it was o.k. It's not a big issue for me, but somehow he worries that they might mess things up. Of course, we could charge a hefty deposit just in case...

I'll let you know if it goes anywhere...

WOW, that is a grand idea. I had never heard of that but it would be a great way to earn the extra cash. Good luck, keep us posted!

just so you know, Hope is the one who has a whole bunch of info about this so I would get in touch with her to find out more info. She said most of the people who rent houses vs staying in hotels are business execs, not rowdy college kids or something. :)
