It is possible to communicate with your future guests and encourage them not only to book with the new owner but also to book again with you. This will help ease the pain for guests. You also avoid any ties to possible actions that could occur if the property is sold.
This means that the funds can be stored safely from the taxman and will be available for immediate allocation to a new property. There will then be a 45-day limit for you to find a property, and six months to complete your transaction. For a successful transaction, it is important to search for your next property first before you sell your rental property. Further information is available in Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Failure to follow these rules will result in the property owner losing eligibility for the 1031 capital gain tax exemption. He or she will then have to pay the tax within the current tax cycle. Remember that 1031 is not available to primary residences. You must first move into a property you have established as your primary residence to be eligible for the 1031 tax exemption.

You might also want to add the new owner as an authorized person until you have received future bookings. After adding the new owner as an authorized contact to your account, you will need to decide how to handle the payments.
Airbnb's years of operation have seen it disrupt more than just the hospitality and travel industry. It has also disrupted and impacted the property market by driving up property prices as well rents up. A mere 0.026% increase was seen in housing prices due to an Airbnb listing rise of just 1%. This is quite remarkable considering that Airbnb listings saw a median growth rate of 28% year-over–year. This results in roughly 5.7% annual price growth.
