I would like to see the REAL numbers to prove 15-20%. Not saying it is impossible, but highly unlikely. I have seen how people measure their return and unless they know what they are doing, they frequently leave out some expenses thus skewing the results.
I have seen airbnb owners who rent a room in their house/flat. I have also seen where people rent their place and just go to a friend's place while their guests are there. Personally I think those are both bad options, but that is my personal preference as both a guest and a host.
I don't want to share the space with either a guest or a host. Nor would l like the idea of being kicked out of my home on short notice.
You are missing the point. It seems you are reading this from your personal frame of reference.
Consider this. You own 3 apartments. One in Barcelona. Once in Lisbon. One in Denver.
You plan your life around times in these 3 apartments. Two weeks in Barcelona. Traveling around in Europe for 2 weeks. Two weeks in Lisbon. Traveling around for 2-4 weeks. One month in Denver.
You block off your times in each of the 3 apartments making them unavailable while you are staying there. But you make them available for rent while you are away.
The rental income from your 3 apartments when you are not using them covers the cost of your apartments, all expenses, your personal expenses and travel, plus you earn some additional income from it.
This is the idea behind living rent free in multiple countries. Is that more clear?
Yes I understand your point but why not rent out the three apartments all the time because they are located on the best yield locations (at least u try).
And then live for how long of time on other places by renting yourself.

You will have more money in the end + more flexibility.
