An AI engineer in Boulder, Dan Andrews, explored obtaining a short-term rental license for a film festival, initially seeing it as a way to make extra income. However, he found the process would require significant effort, including moving out his office equipment and hiring a property manager.
“When Andrew's heard the city had created a special short-term rental license for the film festival, he applied immediately.”
“And we were pretty intrigued right away.”
“Andrew's, who is an AI engineer, says he would need to move out all of his equipment and then buy bedroom furniture for the space. Plus, he would need to hire a property manager to oversee the rentals while they're away.”
