    Great tips guys!Just to piggyback on your video it would be very helpful to ask your cleaners to send you pics after they clean the house or even a video so you can see if it needs some more corrections before your next guest arrives and in that way you’ll avoid the hassle of hearing complaints from your guest.

    Tony and Sarah. Just want to let you guys know I landed my first short-term rental in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and it was one of your videos that inspired me to get into this type of real estate investing. Prior to seeing your video, I had no idea what this type of investing was all about and now I'm soon to be an Airbnb owner. Thank you so much for sharing your journey!

      My AirB is Next door and I would never dream of having an out of state property. I look at our house everyday & see issues that house keeping doesnt pick up, or handyman didn’t clean up after themselves. I used to be in hospitality though and consider it VERY unprofessional to not check in on my responsibilities. Sorry guys love you though!

      Lol - until you find out your handyman is dating the housekeeper & she sends him extra “spoofs” every month to help subsidize their rent because she just found out she’s pregnant and they are trying to figure out a plan to con you guys out of more money. Oh boy guys.you haven’t seen anything yet!

    So many cleaner questions makes me realize how much this business hinges on me. A cleaner, and how I really need to be charging more to clean these places. I've gotten out of doing strs because owners don't want to pay up. I can make 3x the amount doing 2 residential cleans in the time it takes me to do 1 str.
    Also, I'm a cleaner not a property manager..if I'm expected to order, transport and keep track of supplies, communicate with a handyman etc I expect to be compensated for it.

    • @FlyingSagittarius
      @FlyingSagittarius Рік тому

      Good AirBNB hosts know that a good cleaner is worth their weight in gold. When you're getting requests for quotes, you should be interviewing the host just as much as they're interviewing you. Someone that's expecting top service and offering bottom dollar isn't worth your time.

    Great content! I found your channel through the Real Estate Rookie podcast. My husband and I are getting ready to buy our first STR property. We live in a market that is fairly expensive (Clearwater FL) which can definitely be a barrier to entry or to scaling. We are going to make it work for the first couple of properties but I really want to be able to eventually get into some other more affordable markets outside of Florida. This video is really helpful to see how simple it can be to manage long distance. It takes the complexity out of it. Thanks!

    • @zachvanharn925
      @zachvanharn925 2 роки тому

      I believe Clearwater is minimum of 30 days for rentals or that is what I found when looking there. I know Largo is wide open for Air Bnbs. Just check local laws before purchasing. We have had many wrenches thrown into out plans especially in Florida.

    I also own 2 vacation rentals in Tennessee. They are managed by 2 different PM companies. I rarely hear from them, they handle all of the complaints, repairs, cleanings and bookings. Of course the PM takes a cut of the profits, but so does any vacation rental platform . So what makes managing the properties yourself better than hiring out? Love your videos!

      The cleaning lady obviously would be the first to notice the damage and would immediately contact you, then you’d contact you handy man if they can on the fly come over, if not possible, you’re gonna have to bite the bullet and call a 3rd party emergency Plummer or whatever to see if they can come right over.
      If all else fails you’re going to have to compensate the guest and again, bite the bullet on the monetary loss, which is all the cost to do business.

    • @TheRealEstateRobinsons

      We’ve actually never had our cleaner cancel on a day they were supposed to turn a property. Our cleaners have teams, so even if they’re out/unavailable, someone on their team is. And we also have backup cleaners we could call in a pinch.
      And we have automated messages that ask the guest how their checkin experience was. 😀
