    The cost of Toilet rolls, cleaning supplies, utilities and fixing small issues all go up substantially. Charge more than you think you need to.

      Hi, guys I’m new to real estate investing and was wondering if an air bnb travel trailer will work on my property?

    • @Kdnjim
      @Kdnjim 3 года назад +1

      @@denynshernandez3073 it works for some. Ask yourself if you would stay there and what you would need. Then check Airbnb or other sites to research and see if people are doing this around you.
      Ultimately you have to do the leg work to understand if it’ll work. Chances are someone out of the millions of people on Airbnb would like your idea.
      But also think about what you need to keep operating in terms of expense and operations and what happens if it’s vacant.
      Hope that helps.

      Last flip is currently under negotiation and 4 rooms undergoing renovation at the moment (2 separate properties).

I've been teetering on renting the house out long-term or with AirBnB (or similar) to free up my finances to buy another property to live in, remodel, and repeat. Looking forward to the next video of yours! :)

    Airbnb destroyed the rental market in my city. All apartments owners became Airbnb. Prices are crazy high for students, workers and families. They offer only short rent solutions, but now there is no common apartments available in the city. There are waiting lists on the rental offices, and only who earn really high salary can rent them. For example for renting a 30m2 apartments they ask for at least a full contract earning not less Than 4000 euros! Otherwise 12 months of rent in advanced! That is a joke... Companies are moving out because there is no affordable accommodation for workers anymore. Students that just got the university diploma are leaving the city because of the expensive prices. Someone have to do something about it...

    • @SURFERGRL72RAKM
      @SURFERGRL72RAKM 4 года назад +1

      I couldn't agree with you more! Where I live you would have your choice between properties you wanted to rent. Now there might be a few at most and hundreds of people in line looking at renting the same place. I've been trying to find a new rental since November with no luck. Every house or apartment that use to be in the private market is now an Air BnB rental. It's very frustrating and there should be limits on how many Air BnB rentals can be in one city. I shouldn't have to rent an Air BnB at an inflated price in order to give me more time to find another suitable rental.

      I’m not experienced in the field but you want your property to look welcoming. I believe your artwork gives that and beautifies the place. Except you like the art and want it with you, I think you should leave it there. Thanks!

  • @kevdogcle9955
    @kevdogcle9955 5 лет назад +1

    Grate clip guys. It was very informative and true. For the most part and so far I had a pretty good experience. I only had 2 guest that were not such a good experience.
    But how I avoid people from them renting and throwing parties.
    1. I'm always here and when someone books with me. 2 I do not allow parties. 3 I do not hand over my keys and leave my place. 4. I let the guest in and out.
    I started doing it. Because, I'm a disabled vet. And needed extra cash for car repairs or to pay bills.
    But, the issue. I had with the two guest that rented my room I have.
    My ad said I do not offer Internet or share my data. But still want to connect to mine.
    To be a comadating host. I let them use mine. But this one guest connected 5 differant things and used all my data. Which end up costing me 150 in dara over charges. When I told him this is why I dont offer wiffi or internet and guest must use thier own.
    He got mad, left and then came back. Walked right upstairs without me kniwing. Got his stuff and then checked out. When I nicely told him
    Then he had the nerve to request a full refund. After he stayed 4 days. I was like your kidding me right.
    The second one was recently. She was a lady from japan. Told me she didn't understand spoken english. But, she could read it in a text. Which I did find hard to belive. If you can't speak or understand English. How can you read it.
    This lady was to stay 3 days. Checked out only after 1 night. In her review. She said I was lonely and complained about my kitchen counters. Which my place was just remodeled. Im like what could she be complaining about.
    Maybe, because. I don't have a lot of large counter space. Or cause my mic , toaster, and coffe maker on the counter. New flash I live in a appartment.
    But, the one problem I have with Airbnb. Is some guest are rude, way to demanding and think they are staying in a 5 star resort. New flash your in someones home.
    I also ask my guest to soicalize with me. The con I have with airbnb renting to someone. I understand people want thier privecy. But, if your host is thier while your renting thier room. At least enteract and soicalize. Dont stay locked in your room.

    Had another question for you. Do you have cameras in the public areas of the house? Thanks

    • @realestate_consulting
      @realestate_consulting 6 лет назад +4

      Again, I tell people that everything is about your comfort level. If you absolutely won't feel comfortable without cameras inside the property, then you need to do it. But you would HAVE to be transparent about that. Personally, the only place I'd even consider cameras is on the outside. Inside is too creepy.

    Hi, I'm a fairly new host on Airbnb. I have miraculously been doing most things right so far. I don't know what to do or how to handle guests staining sheets and/or towels. A set of sheets cost as much as a nights stay and I can't use them once they're stained. How do I handle this? Should I charge guests? It has now happened to me on three different occasions.

    • @dvonpache
      @dvonpache 6 лет назад +1

      Veronica Manes I'd add it to your damages disclaimer and hit their CC for replacement cost afterwards, likely to get a bad review though, not that you can't hit them back with a bad one too. Or, take it on a chin, buy cheaper ones next time and move on.

    • @fighterflight2492
      @fighterflight2492 6 лет назад

      Buy cheaper sheets and ideally stain resistant? Plus it’s most likely just one sheet you need to replace not the whole set.

    @mrj-charles6383 6 лет назад +1

    I am doing something similar to this in the Philippines where we will put bunk beds in all the rooms. I want to try this on a house I am buying Harrisburg PA. I need to use the house during the week so one room will never be available. My question is do you have a programmable keypad on the front door or use like a lock box? I did AurBnB in Singapore and picked up keys at a store close by since owner was not around when I arrived. So traveling allot I need a simple way to do this. thanks

    • @realestate_consulting
      @realestate_consulting 6 лет назад +1

      Keypads are great and ease the concern some have of people copying your keys. You might also check out smart locks that you can change and monitor from your phone anywhere in the world. They're pretty cool. But I'd have a backup hard-copy key as well, maybe hidden somewhere because the smart locks run off your WiFi. If your WiFi goes down, then you don't have a way to get in. Hence, the backup key.

    • @mrj-charles6383
      @mrj-charles6383 6 лет назад +1

      Thanks I will check into the smart locks. The keypad I like because can change the code every week or whenever.

    • @realestate_consulting
      @realestate_consulting 6 лет назад +1

      Yeah, I think the keypad is great for that. The digital version (a smart lock) would allow you to do that remotely from your phone. And you can schedule the change, so a code for one set of guests would go into effect at 3 p.m. for check-in and would automatically stop working at 11 a.m. the day of check out. Again, though, this relies on WiFi, so it's only as reliable as your internet connection. The keypad is not quite as flexible, but is still waaay better than a regular key and doesn't have the issues of the wifi-reliant smart lock. Good luck!

      @ek07305 6 лет назад +1

      Mr Charles -- Smartphones now have WiFi Hotspot available. So home WiFi doesn’t work, your phone (or your friend's/wife etc...) should still have WiFi capabilities. But keypads is easier and less likely to be hacked.
