Am considering putting my Maybach on rental. Do you think there will be a demand ?

I would love to see photo's of this mystery Maybach

People seem to like saying they have Maybachs and would like a quick $200 for a rental.
Obviously they cant afford one and want to find a "get cash quick scheme" to offset the cost.

There are a number of benefits to this if it's in a bona fide business, including the fact that the maintenance costs can partially offset the rental income come tax time.
I wouldn't be so quick to assume that someone asking this sort of question doesn't or couldn't own a vehicle costing that much. There are partnership and other possibilities as well, we just don't think of them often, because cars are generally viewed as a one owner type of asset.
