    This is great information for all hosts starting out on this journey. We are a cleaning company in NYC and we specialize in Airbnb turnovers. You mentioned at 2:30 that if you are not changing sheets and cleaning yourself you should definitely be supervising those that are. I definitely agree, I think asking your cleaning service for before and after photos as well as providing them with a tailored checklists is a great starting point. As long as guests review the space as spotless (5 *****) all parties are happy!

      Thank you! Our neighbors also helped when we were out of town or if something shady was happening with guest. They would call us right away about any issues. Many host will will also partner with their neighbors to run an airbnbs. For instance, we have a friend who's neighbor is a stay at home spouse and welcomes guest to the unit. She will also clean the units on occasion.

    Little tip from someone who grew up in the hospitality industry and that would help out his parents daily: NEVER use white anything! You will spend a fortune getting it cleaned or changed! Use gray linens/sheets, walls... Make them toffy/cream colored if you want it "formal" or i found blue/teal to be well liked. White gets dirty/stains WAY too easily! And before you know it'll be cream or worse... brown (walls, sheets, pillow cases, sofas, microwave, oven, kettle, stove, chairs, tables, TOILET SEATS 🤮) and it will be uneven shades of brown...

    Great tips. Especially the white linens. We have stayed at some Airbnb’s that had grotty leftover looking sheets with pil balls and a mishmash of different pattern and colours of towels. It takes very little effort or $ to leave a ++ impression on your guests. Oh and it has to be 100% cotton Pima or percale but do not subject your guests to polyester sheets. It makes HUGE difference for a little extra in cost.

    I experimented with Airbnb. I had a unit in my own triplex I rented out. And another unit in a fourplex. I did very well in terms of ratings--5 stars only, Superhost status--but ultimately I decided that it was just better to go long term, passive income. You're constantly managing the units--and trouble shooting--in a way that is time-consuming. Also, word of warning: I've known people who did Airbnb in a sneaky way, without squaring it with their landlords, and it became really acrimonious and anxiety-ridden. There always loomed the threat of eviction for these acquaintances.

    @sean4060 2 роки тому +23

    As a 20 listing host with 5 years of experience, I can tell you very clearly how to avoid nit picky guests and who are the ones who typically leave bad reviews.
    1) other HOSTS. For whatever reason, hosts are the most critical when they come as guests. I’ve always wondered why since they are in your shoes. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s sort of how women hate other women. They see you as competition and think you should have the same or better amenities than them.
    2) guests over 60 years of age. There is nothing pleasing them and they will always find an issue even when there is none. I just had one argue with me claiming that the title of my listing should be changed because I have the word “mansion”. The house is 5,500 square feet and is a mansion by most people’s standards. My description also clearly states the square footage. Yet he gave me 3 star for accuracy based on semantics. He also said I don’t have enough seating for 8 guests. I have 3 sofas in the house. He suggested I have another tv in one of the houses many living rooms. The house has a total of 5 tv’s. Unreal right ?
    3) guests that ask too many questions or ask for amenities you don’t provide. E.g can you set up a kiddie pool , can you put up a Christmas tree for my stay? Etc

    My plan is to buy a cabin on a lake, I found one for 200K. And checking nearby AIRBNBs I think I can price it at 150/night, plus cleaning fee and be competitively priced. The only drawback is it's a four hour drive, so I will have to use a local cleaning service. If I develop a good relationship with a small company, and expand to several cabins I think I can make this work. As my Grandpappy would say.... there is only one way to find out!

      Exactly my plan too. Found this cute cabin at a local lake listed for 350k (Canadian ) . Off season similar cabins are going for 250 and summer months 350 a night . It’s a great fishing lake that brings it tons of people and a super popular place for ice fishing / snowmobiling so even in winter months gets lots of business. Wondering if you ever went through with it and if so how are you doing ?

    Making money isn't hard per say. At least it's not entirely complex in concept. Do something that someone needs and is willing to pay for.
    I just started Airbnb hosting at 23 and I think over the years that I'll eventually build up a few listings where I can quite my day job and work predominantly from home.
    I want to homestead eventually. So Airbnbs sound like an ideal solution to producing at least a moderate income to allow me to accomplish that.

    We converted our basement to an AirBB and would only have 1 guest every other month or for holidays. We are thinking of turning it into a long-term rental now. We can get between $1500-$2000 This way.

      That's is awesome! We'd love to buy a house with a basement unit. So much potential with something like that. For instance, we know a couple that uses their basement unit as an art studio to teach watercolor painting as an Airbnb experience.

    Question for anyone who knows the answer. Being that your Air BnB is a property you own and it would then be your business investment, could you use it as a tax write off as far as the material you buy for the place? Like could you keep receipts for furniture, kitchen supplies, etc... and use it for taxes? Sorry if this is a dumb question

    • @alexandrial7133

      Absolutely! For any business you have you report at the end of the year what you spent for that business with your accountant as you would file business taxes. Good question.

    I have a question if you wouldn’t mind answering.
    Situation: I’m 25 and renting in a city but have enough to buy a home. I’m not planning on staying in this city much longer, however. There is much great rental/ air bnb opportunity in this city.
    Question: would it be worth it to purchase a home solely for the purpose of using it as a rental property while I continue to rent? Or would it be a better decision to purchase a home to live in first, and then go for a rental property as a second home?
    Thank you.

We want to get more investors to invest in a building landmark (215 Piedmont Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA) for short rental. This is one of the 2 buildings in Downtown Atlanta that has no rental restrictions and the price is still low right now ($130K-$150K) and the rental potential can be over $3000-4000/month. Long term rental is about $1500-$1800.

    Hello guys, you seem like an amazing couple! I am happy you are sharing valuable information for free at the time where others sell it.
    In case I want to use someone's else property to rent it. What's the procedure in terms of the agreement with the owner? what is the cost that I should consider like towels soaps tissues hairdryer gifts automatic lock... and how to clean the blankets and towels daily? Should I hire someone to do that for me? How to create an automated system so that if I had 10 properties rented that doesn't require my presence?
