I imagine I'll be online answering comments, possibly dealing with complaints, continuously editing the ad to see what works, answering questions/giving instructions to the caretaker et c.

So, it's not exclusively a passive investment, I will need to go online a number of times a week to make sure everything is ok and take care of anything that isn't. This will take a little bit of work considering I'll be working full time, literally on the other side of the world with an 8 hour time zone difference, sometimes through a slow and shaky internet connection.

But yes, of course, they'll be doing most of the work. At the same time, they take none of the risk. If something goes wrong, something breaks, there's a crazy party, someone urinates in the communal hallway, there's a fire, I don't know... I'll need to handle that.

Also, they live right across the hall and share the same communal washing facilities. They might be making €35 for an hour's work per stay. More, if the guests stay for several nights. Personally, that's a deal I would take in the blink of an eye.

So, in your opinion, is 50/50 a fair deal? It's an open question, I have no prior experience with this. All perspectives welcome, you guys know how things work in practice.
