Get Paid For Your Pad | Airbnb Hosting | Vacation Rentals | Apartment Sharing

As the saying goes, ‘Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.’ So when Jasper had the chance to speak with one of Airbnb’s fiercest critics in Amsterdam, he took full advantage of the opportunity and invited the journalist to be a guest on this week’s Get Paid for Your Pad.Sander Schimmelpenninck is the editor-in-chief of Quote magazine, a Dutch monthly publication most well-known for the Quote 500, a list of the 500 wealthiest people in the Netherlands. Quote focuses on the business, finances, and networks of life at the top. In 2014, Sander wrote an opinion piece on the dangers of Airbnb in the Amsterdam market, discussing the impact of the vacation rental platform on the city as its concept shifted from that of a shared experience to a money-making machine for real estate investors avoiding income tax. He shared his concerns about the lack of regulation and how Airbnb made it increasingly difficult for Dutch residents to find an affordable home in a city overrun with the wrong kind of tourists.Thou
