Opening my first Airbnb rentals in the next two weeks. I've been working daily for the last 4 weeks to be prepared. I'm buying an existing rental in Maui. This will be a transitional ownership. Very excited to get underway.
I’m just looking at this because, my mum just air bnbs, her air bnb got burned down by a frat party, 25 alcohol bottles were found, 5 packs of drugs were found too, tv broken, and holes in the walls
- Hosting means you are running a small business - You wear multiple hats, consider you are the GM of a small, boutique hotel - Set up matters! - Anticipate guest needs but consider operational ease matters (maintenance) - Be prepared for bad apples - Effective & extensive house rules + party prevention technology in place. - Know how to screen your guests - Air B&B host short term rental is not the same as LTR - Turnovers, maintenance, guest involvement is all different. Not the same type of 'passive income"
@@AirbnbUncoveredI've been binge watching some of your content as I am considering to start an Airbnb business. I am looking into the markets and struggling with what states would be best to consider. Can you make a video advising in any way? So far I've had good reviews with Tennessee.
Hi Pat, thanks for the comment! Being nervous is normal, but you got this!! Glad that my videos helped you. I have lots of other videos as well. I also offer workshops for hosts on how to set pricing, getting started, expanding, etc. Check out my website if you're interested (link in the description).
My wife and I are just getting started. I am a landlord (third generation) and my wife is experienced in hospitality. I plan on using my experience to handle the business side (bookings, repairs, renos, unsafe guests, finances, advertisement, supply & demand market changes and business relationships/networking) while my wife handles guest concerns/requests/complaints, room prep, cleanup and supplies. We have a strong network already. What is the single piece of advice that you'd give to some in the business district in our city close to the State House and other government buildings, law offices, courthouses etc.? I see a lot of advice regarding vacation rentals, but less on the business districts and AirBnB apartments versus entire buildings. Maybe this would make a decent video topic should anyone specialize in this type of area. Great video. Subscribed.
Thanks for the comment. You bring up some good points. I'm just brainstorming for a new series of videos and am going to add that idea to the list! Single piece of advise - make sure your Airbnb listing is business travel ready and has all of the amenities a business traveler might need.
Sooo many potential topics... soooo little time!! I have a long list of topics and this is just one of them. Keep watching though... hope to get around to it sometime.
My parents are moving out of the country and we want to put the house on air bnb. I am so glad to have found your channel. I saw one from one year and loved your energy, glad to see you still have it! I’m nervous about the “ many hats” part since it’s just me and i know nothing About home maintenance.
Could you do a show-and-tell video on how to sign up to become a host and point out the pieces that are crucial for a successful first booking? Thank you!
I really appreciate your efforts! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Glad it was helpful! I offer a program for new hosts just like you who have these sorts of questions. I’m my program you’ll get access to 4 recorded video tutorials and be invited to join our twice monthly Q&A meetings over zoom. In the recoded video series I go over all the essential things new airbnb hosts need to do and know about. The program is $500/month and you can leave the program as soon as you feel ready (although the minimum commitment is 1 month).
I’m about to receive my presale condo I bought 18 months ago, I’m very excited since it’s very beautiful and I’m sure will be very attractive for the Airbnb business, about to start as a host soon
Opening my first Airbnb rentals, I have prepared a studio room with Kitchen in Mussoorie foothills in Uttrakhand India and exciting for this new business 🎉
Hello I want to start a AirBnB Arbritage in Miami Beach Fl. I rented a studio apartment. The building HOA allows and the owner was doing AirBnB up to 2021. The owner gave me approval to start. But the City Hall of Miami Beach said we the renters can do this only the owner can. We started to do the paper work for rental license, fill-out a CU application to get a business tax reciept. We are stuck!! Help!
Sorry to hear that you are stuck! More and more cities and states are cracking down on Airbnb's. I can't offer any specific advice other than this - don't try and get around the regulations. You could be facing big-time penalties. Rental arbitrage is a a risky venture - you are on the hook for the rent AND you have to furnish the place as well. If it doesn't fly, you are in serious trouble.
Ok good ,do you not need to meet the landlords ? Or just on zooms if your in the UK and they're in the US ? Maybe you can be my mentor we can work together ,many thanks
Always good to meet landlords if you are doing rental arbitrage. If they find out... and you haven't let them know... you're out on your rear. I don't do individual mentorship. I have larger group programs where I work with multiple hosts who want to succeed and take their businesses to the next level.
Absolutely you can do that. You can block whatever dates on the calendar that you like. If you do that, I would suggest Snoozing your listing during the blocked dates to preserve your search ranking in Airbnb.
I'm planning on staying my own bnb . Thanks for the awesome advice and extremely helpful tip plus need to know do's and donts. Please keep the helpful information and hard work you do to help others. Blessings
I have a question if you can take a second to answer. I run an Airbnb that is rented almost 100% of the time but the town is loaded with competition. How do i get less bookings at a higher price. Im having to rent rooms for about $40 a day because there are so many in this town. What can i do to either raise the price even at the cost of losing some days?
It's a supply and demand market. Too much supply outpacing demand. You could just try raising your price by 10% and see what that does. Depends on how far in advance you are booked 100%. You might be giving away rooms if you're booked too far in advance.
You've lost your "new host" bump in search rankings. You'd be better off creating a new listing and starting fresh. It could be that you are priced too high or that your market is saturated.
Thank you for you video! I am thinking about to start one, but really concern if I'll be able to. 1) If I have a full time job currently, do you think it's realistic to start Airbnb business (only one for now obviously)? 2) What are the main questions should I ask myself to be sure if it's really for me? 3) If you can share, can you please be honest and tell me if the Annual Income from the Airbnb business (when it's only ONE house) is More than the Annual Expenses OR it's actually Less? Thank you very much in advance!
Thanks for this and all your vids. I thought I was going crazy when I saw some features available on the website and not on the phone and vice versa. What a senseless move by airbnb. Lol
I am disabled with nothing on my credit score, so I am having real difficulty finding a lender, even a hard money…. Any suggestions? This is a perfect property for the use case
Well, the first place is to see if Airbnb's are legal in your city/state/province/jurisdiction. Are you thinking of listing a room in your house or...???
@@AirbnbUncovered Thank u for responding. It's in metro Detroit. Nice calm family neighborhood. Downtown Detroit is 15 miles east and Ann Arbor (wolverines) is 25 miles west. Can its a tri-level with the lower level having a family room bedroom ½ bath and lauder room. The mid level has a dining room and a very nice kitchen with 2 ovens and 5 eye stove. The upper has 3 bedrooms 2 big and 1 on the small side. The small has no door because it was used as an office but can easily be put on. All have sliding closets 2 of which are glass. The back yard is on big grass square with a retractable awning. I'm willing to go into a few thousand in debt to see if this will work. I'd gladly pay you for your insight as this will be my first Airbnb endeavor.

- Hosting means you are running a small business
- You wear multiple hats, consider you are the GM of a small, boutique hotel
- Set up matters!
- Anticipate guest needs but consider operational ease matters (maintenance)
- Be prepared for bad apples
- Effective & extensive house rules + party prevention technology in place.
- Know how to screen your guests
- Air B&B host short term rental is not the same as LTR
- Turnovers, maintenance, guest involvement is all different. Not the same type of 'passive income"
Yes, yes, yes!! So many people get into Airbnb hosting thinking it's passive income. They usually have a rude awakening!
Yes

Yes keep it simple! But don’t forget to personalize a bit to differentiate yourself from the competition.

Considering opening our first Airbnb to eventually offer it as a short term rental to Traveling Nurses under Furnish Finder.
Is it advisable to own a bnb in a bad economy .since it not a need
It's a bit harder for new hosts to carve a niche for themselves in this market.
@AirbnbUncovered alright thanks, any tips on that
Exceptional hospitality and reasonable prices.

I'm considering buying 2 condos. One to live in and one for airbnb
Trying to purchase a four piece property on the coast right now. Using one for primary residence
This is the perfect time to do that! And smart option of living there while renting part of it out.
I am disabled with nothing on my credit score, so I am having real difficulty finding a lender, even a hard money…. Any suggestions? This is a perfect property for the use case
And my wife already owns a cleaning and maintenance company, there is already 1 long term renter in place, that has been there for a while.
You can always try rental arbitrage or get into co-hosting - neither one of those requires hard cash.
I’ve tried but I just can’t get it going. When you are at the bottom, no matter how hard you try, there is always hurdles to get up top
Thinking about starting and have no idea where to start
Well, the first place is to see if Airbnb's are legal in your city/state/province/jurisdiction. Are you thinking of listing a room in your house or...???
Yes. But have reservations about if regular cities can make decent profits.
It depends on your neighbourhood and your property. Some regular cities can make a surprisingly good profit.

What about, county registration?
Always a good idea and you need to check with your city/county/state about regulations that affect short term rentals. Every place is different.
