Welcome to my podcast, where we discuss all things related to real estate, business, and entrepreneurship. In today's episode, I'm thrilled to introduce a special guest, Jason Griggs, who invests in Las Vegas, as well as Kansas City. Notably, he's an Airbnb and Rental Property Expert. Throughout our conversation, Jason shares his journey into real estate, offering unique insights into why he believes Henderson holds the top rental market in the country. He unveils the secrets behind his success in managing a 9000 square foot Airbnb and his strategies for generating impressive passive income. Jason reflects on a pivotal decision he made when he left New York to become a Kindergarten teacher, a choice heavily influenced by his cousin's unexpected involvement in his property investments. Our discussion covers a range of topics, from pinpointing the best rental markets to understanding the advantages of low taxes, the importance of education, and strategies to convert tenants into clients. We touch upon the potential threats that traditional hotels face from newcomers like Griggs Hotel, all while Jason shares personal experiences from his time at the XS NightClub. As we look towards the future, Jason provides valuable advice on money management, investment strategies, handling taxes, and managing checking accounts. He also shares a significant victory from his life and offers essential advice for those new to the real estate industry. As we conclude, I recommend an inspiring book about the man who built Las Vegas and discusses his top pick for the best city for conducting business worldwide.

春休みに旅行をしました。車でイギリスの田舎に行きました。Airbnbの家を予約しました。家は海の近くでした。 旅行の２日目に、海に行きました。駐車場に車を停めて、海岸に行きました。そこは砂浜じゃなくて、石のビーチでした。そして、引き潮でしたから、海の底の岩が見えました。海の後ろは崖でした。崖は、しましま　模様でした。崖の下に化石を探している人たちがいました。私もアンモナイトの化石を見つけました。 イギリスのサマセット地方は自然が豊かです。緑の山や、川があるので日本を思い出しました。日本なら　アウトドアの１日の最後には温泉に入りたいですが、　イギリスなのでAirbnbの家に帰って、お風呂に熱い　お湯を入れました。明るい時間にゆっくりお風呂に入るだけでも、旅行気分が高まって、楽しかったです。

Intro: Lance and I have both dipped our toes into the water when it comes to Airbnb investing. We are excited to share some tips/tricks we have learned as we have launched our first couple properties. We will also explore the ROI you can earn by investing in Airbnb and what sort of work it takes to get started with AirBNB Investing. Money Hack of the Week: Turo Turo is the Airbnb for car rentals Not only is it most of the time cheaper It's also easier Deal with P2P instead of a big monster company that makes you wait in line for sometimes hours to rent a car. Pro tip: rent only from All-star hosts What is Airbnb? A way to share your home or a space within your home with people traveling through. Airbnb started as a room sharing thing and has morphed into a major industry People who want more privacy or have bigger groups than a hotel can reasonably host tend to gravitate toward Airbnb Airbnb revenue in 2021 was $6 Billion dollars This is a new industry and it's growing rapidly Lance's Limiting Beliefs Technology Schlage Lock Hospitable Price Labs Ring Camera Multiple Platforms -Build Your Dream Team: Self management can happen from a-far. Find a cleaner who specializes in short term rental cleaning Not bad to have a backup cleaner or at least a short list of people who you could call if your primary cleaner falls through for some reason. Smaller the team the better- you want to be able to communicate directly with your cleaners Find a group of handymen - have multiple on call if something goes wrong Who is Airbnb investing right for? Someone who is looking to diversify into real estate Someone who is looking for additional cash flow on a monthly basis Someone who's looking to accelerate their path to financial freedom.

Олексій Насєдкін — працює в Airbnb на посаді менеджера виторгу. Нещодавно компанія Airbnb вийшла на ІРО — перший публічний продаж своїх акцій. Її оцінили у майже $50 млрд. Практично усю архітектуру фінансових розрахунків й прогнозування збудував саме українець. На це у нього пішло два роки. Нині ж Airbnb оцінюється у майже $110 млрд. У п'ятому епізоді подкасту Homo codeus запоріжанин Олексій Насєдкін розповів про свій шлях в Airbnb, незабутній момент перетворення стартапу в компанію на мільярди, пандемію, яка для сервісу стала серйозним випробуванням, внутрішні традиції й коли з’явиться можливість орендувати будинок на Марсі, спільне та відмінне між різними куточками на Землі та багато іншого. *** The Ukrainians Media має місію — уможливлювати позитивні соціальні зміни в Україні.

经常有赴美生子、试管或者接宝宝的客人咨询如何选择食宿？尤其是第一次来美国的朋友，每个人的情况都不一样，那么今天我们就来分析一下来美国短期生活选择哪种方式更适合。首先来看看住酒店的情况美国是一个酒店业特别发达的国家，各种不同类型的酒店可供选择，但是美国的酒店服务行业属于人工服务业，美国的人工特别贵，所以酒店的价格相比较而言也是比较贵的。我们搜索酒店预订的知名网站可以看到，加州洛杉矶、圣地亚哥的酒店普遍价格都在200美金/晚 以上，到了旅游旺季价格更是翻倍上涨。在比弗利一家中国客人比较青睐的医生诊所附近，酒店价格更是超过了500美金/晚，这还只是住宿的价格，如果把旅游税、消费税、停车费加上，每天的住宿价格在600美金以上，这个价格相对于中国1500人民币左右的五星级酒店服务来说，可以说是很奢侈了。而且美国的酒店可没有中国五星级酒店那种几百个品种的早餐可以享用，大部分酒店是不含早餐的，早餐的价格从19-39美金都有，也就是正常的沙拉、咖啡、牛奶、果汁、面包、火腿一类的美式早餐。除了住宿以外，还要考虑租车的问题，美国打车费用特别贵，比如说住的地方到餐厅如果是5英里，出租车起步价再加上里程费，单程往返需要30美金，往返就是60美金，一天出去两次就是120美金的车费，关键是在美国打车还特别不方便，只能通过酒店呼叫租车公司，如果是用Uber打车软件叫车，费用也节省不了太多。每天预算100美金用车出行的费用是正常的。第二个选择就是租房在美国短期租房，有两种方式，要么是通过华人的民宿，可以跟人合租也可以整栋租，要么是通过Airbnb预定整套房间。我们看看Airbnb的价格：我们可以看到，价格从一百多美金到200多美金不等，这样的选择比较方便，如果是一家人或者两个家庭一起过来，合租一套房子，自己做饭非常有乐趣，可以体验一下美国的日常生活。不过需要注意的是，美国的很多老房子都不配备可以通风到外面的抽油烟机，大部分美式家庭的抽烟机和微波炉是一体的，只过滤烟不过滤油，做中餐需要注意触发防火报警器。无论住酒店还是租房，都要考虑租车，我们在国内比较方便的租车的网站查一下日常用车的价格：每天从400多人民币到800多人民币不等，美国油价不贵，可以忽略，单纯考虑租车，加上各种保险，还有一些加州的收费公路需要租单独的收费感应器，如果是带着孩子的家庭还要考虑安全座椅，9岁以下儿童如果不使用安全座椅是违法行为。所以，租车的费用每天预算大概是100美金。还有一个选择就是月子中心或者民宿上图是通过综合统计出来的南加州月子中心服务的价格，这个价格是包括每天吃、住、行的费用，也就是说，你从机场出来，在美国的一切生活问题，吃饭、住宿、出行、购物、游玩、体检等都有人帮你服务，唯一需要选择的就是住的位置和服务水平，餐饮标准这些因素。美国RSSC生育科学中心在帮助客人开展试管、代孕、生子一站式医疗服务的同时，为了方便客户，也可以为客户提供食、宿、行、游这些服务，尤其是经历了2020年这一个特别的时期，很多代孕的宝宝在出生的时候都是由RSSC的工作人员亲自接到自己家里照顾，解决了很多父母无法准时到达美国的担心，我们来看看具体的情况以供参考：我们提供的住宿地点位于南加州Orange county，也就是中国人说的橙县也叫橙郡，位于洛杉矶市区南边，圣地亚哥北边，距离洛杉矶市区和圣地亚哥市的距离都在40分钟左右，距离华人熟知的尔湾车程15分钟，这个社区是纯白人社区，年收入平均13.7万美金，治安情况在美国属于极佳水平。距离洛杉矶国际机场1小时车程，距离圣地亚哥著名的试管诊所也是1小时车程。距离太平洋海边的车程15分钟。社区配备健身房、2个成人游泳池、1个儿童泳池，运动场、儿童游乐场、咖啡厅等设施，还有蒙特梭利幼儿园和学校，如果是带着大宝的父母在这边生活2-3个月，可以将孩子送到学校短期插班。幼儿园学费每月1000美金，小学免费。如果有需要进一步沟通可以跟我们的工作人员联系。通过以上分析，每个人的情况都不一样，可以根据自身的情况来选择食宿，总之，在美国生孩子、做试管，前提是保证安全，吃得好、休息的好，这才是最重要的。祝愿每一个人都能够顺利！如果您对美国短期生活、旅游各个方面的问题随时可以咨询Mike私人微信：mikecheng1111

過去一週美國股市非常熱鬧，尤其是持續不斷的 IPO 熱潮，先是週三的 DoorDash 上市，週四 Airbnb 接棒上場，都開出了非常好的成績；Airbnb 上市當天從每股定價 68 美元飆到 146 美元，超過 100% 的漲幅，市值來到一千億美元，超過萬豪 ( Marriott )、希爾頓 ( Hilton ) 和凱悅 ( Hyatt ) 等三家知名飯店集團的總和。 但就在投資人歡天喜地慶功時，我們想要回頭來看看 Airbnb 是如何從 2007 年創業開始，挺過一次又一次的難關，才達到今天的規模，尤其今年三月才遭受全球疫情重創，五月不得不大舉裁員，當媒體、投資人甚至員工都懷疑 Airbnb 是否能存活下去的時候，Airbnb 竟然在短短九個月內改寫了故事，靠的是隨機應變改變營運方式、保持樂觀堅毅的心態、以及提供房東和房客良好體驗的初心，就連 Y Combinator 的 Paul Graham 也念念不忘他們當年在 YC 接受輔導時展現出來的真誠又認真的態度！ 2020 的峰迴路轉讓所有關於 Airbnb 創業故事的書都必須重新改寫了！趕快來跟我們一起深入 Airbnb 的艱辛創業路程和創新進行式！ #Airbnb #愛彼迎 #IPO #創業故事 #FoundingStory #JustKiddingTech #矽谷輕鬆談

In this episode, we're going to talk about the best ALTERNATIVES to Airbnb.

本日のミライ会議は他業種Airbnbに学ぶ戦略というのを考えました。Airbnbは会社として掲げていたルールというのを外していくことで、ビジネスが伸びたということがあるそうです。〇〇でなければならないというルールは、もちろんブランドイメージを守るという意味でも重要な面もあります。しかしそういうイメージ戦略以外の面で、業界の常識的なものに縛られていることがあるのではないでしょうか。たとえばSNSは、Twitterしか使わないというようなことです。そういったそのルールは何のためにあるのか？ということを考えていくと、サービスは変わっていきます。　『学校の当たり前をやめた』という本が以前、話題になりましたが、当たり前と思っていることに対して、疑いを持ち、変えていくというのは、難しいことなのだろうと改めて感じました。エッセンシャル出版社の最近の取り組みとしては、電子書籍ですが、本のバラ売りを始めました。勝手に設定してしまっている「当たり前」「ルール」を取っ払えるように、他業種の戦略に学んでいきたいと思います。

分享者： Steve Wu 講師 從新冠肺炎爆發至今已有五個多月的時間，首當其衝的當然是對人體健康與生命的威脅。然而，當人們逐漸因疫情趨緩，從生死交關的恐懼逐漸回過神來時，另一場風暴正緊接著朝全世界肆虐而來——經濟活動因急速凍結所產生的百業蕭條。其影響不僅只存在於中小企業，如今連跨國大企業也受到重創。 Uber於5月6日宣布因載客量大幅衰退，全球訂單量大跌80%下，必須大砍 3700 位員工；另一家共享經濟的巨頭Airbnb也因為疫情蔓延所導致的全球旅遊業停滯，使得今年營收預計不到2019 年的一半。公司不只得融資20億美元以度過寒冬，也得大幅削減所有營運成本。而且更早先Uber一步，於5月5日宣布裁員25%，資遣全球1900位員工。其經營嚴峻與慘烈的狀況可見一斑。 不論是什麼原因，任何企業做了這種幅度的裁員之後，幾乎很難從巨大的社會指責下全身而退。然而Airbnb不但沒有受到批評，共同創辦人暨執行長布萊恩‧切斯基（Brian Chesky）寫給員工的公開信，讓許多人讀完後認為既暖心又真誠。在看完切斯基的公開信之後，我認為有以下兩個非常重要的關鍵，著實值得所有身為領導者思考與借鏡；同時也是面對危機時領導者應該有的修為： 公開透明。當公司面臨困難，必須做出痛苦決定時，與其隱匿真實狀況，以拖待變，應該選擇的方式是公開透明、真誠地與員工溝通。以這次Airbnb為例，切斯基便是透過真誠且公開的方式，向員工傳達「不是你不好，而是公司面臨困難，必須轉型，聚焦在核心業務上」的訊息。並盡可能地詳細說明他是如何做出這個決定，以及公司為那些要離開的人做了什麼、接下來會發生哪些事。宣布裁員之前，切斯基先說明了公司經營困境，並交代決策的來龍去脈。這樣宣布裁員的方式，不只公開透明，也更有溫度。 從人性、同理、與善意出發。影音串流巨頭公司Netflex執行長里德·哈斯廷斯 (Reed Hastings)在接受訪問時曾表示，領導能力的基石，是先學會當一個最棒的人(“I think fundamentally that leadership is about being the best human being possible.”)。的確，身為領導者，是無法迴避得扛下做出艱難決定的責任。不過我們必須同時瞭解到，這樣的決定所產生的後果，對為數不少的人而言是痛苦且難以承受的。雖說為了企業/組織/團體的生存，壯士斷腕或許是必要之惡；如果處理時能從人性、同理、以及善意出發，往往能將傷害降到最低，有時甚至還能反過來得到更多人的支持。 回到Airbnb的例子，在坦承且沒有隱瞞地說完裁員的原委，切斯基馬上釋出誠意照顧那些即將離開公司的人，並提出後續支援的保證，包含資遣、股權、醫療保健和就業支持，盡最大努力以同理並周全的方式對待每個人。甚至在公開信的最後，還不忘感謝那些留下與被迫離開的員工。切斯基寫道：「我們這群留下來的人，向即將離開的那些人致敬最重要的方式，是讓他們瞭解其重要的貢獻為我們所知；對於那些即將離開的人，我真心地抱歉，請明白這不是你的錯，世界永遠不會停止探尋你們貢獻給Airbnb的才能，成就Airbnb的正是你們，我由衷地感謝，也謝謝你們將天賦分享給我們。」 這波疫情所帶來的衝擊，對所有的領導者可以說是九死一生的挑戰。希望從Airbnb的例子當中，讓我們都能得到啟發。或許多年以後回顧此時我們所做的決定，你會慶幸自己在帶領團隊突破重圍的過程中，仍不忘散放出人性的光輝。 以上就是今天的分享，希望你會喜歡，我們近期也安排了不同主題的培訓，請到官網瀏覽獲得更多資訊，請訂閱這個頻道來獲得最新的分享，下次見。

據說，英文gig economy 的中文意思是“靈活經濟”。開Uber、Lyft 共享汽車就是其中之一，還有就是Airbnb了。家裡有多餘的房子，如果地點好，用來租給遊客做家庭酒店，比給固定租客收入高。 現在Airbnb已經發展得相當成熟了。全球範圍內，它有3百萬個戶主，7百萬個房間或房屋出租。 沒想到，這次疫情的第一個受害者就是旅遊業。接下來就連累到相關的商業鏈，包括Airbnb。三月中旬就有15億美元的房間訂單取消了。這對專業經營家庭酒店的人來說，是巨大的打擊，因為他們這些額外的房子還有沒付清的貸款和各種稅務，出現一個“房東變房客”的景象。甚至有人擔心，這個經濟模式的首創，可能會影響整體房地產市場，對貸款和房地產價格都有衝擊。在今天的節目中，我們舉了幾個非常具體的例子，讓大家了解到這些房東的苦衷和無奈。

根据民航局通知，3月29号零时起，恢复湖北省除武汉天河机场外其他机场的国内客运航班，暂停63天的湖北客运航班正式复航。飞猪数据显示，目前已经有25家航司开通3月29号后的湖北相关航线销售，航线超过100条，主要覆盖目的地包括深圳、上海、广州、杭州、重庆、成都、西安、福州、温州、厦门、桂林、青岛等。目前各航司航班计划还在陆续恢复中。 携程投资的单体酒店轻连锁品牌 无疆酒店将停止运营，全体员工即将解除劳动合同。今年2月，无疆酒店还宣布免收各加盟酒店2020年1月1号至2020年2月29号的加盟管理费，以减轻合作伙伴的经营压力。但董事长马晓东表示，疫情影响之广还是超出预期，这次疫情已经突破国界造成全球性经济衰退，旅游市场在一两年很难恢复，这种情况彻底打乱了公司发展计划，不得不做出停止运行的决定。 罗永浩昨天在微博对“粉丝对其直播带货感到失望”作出回应，称自己在想各种办法赚钱还债，做主播赚的不是脏钱。他在微博中称，“我对自己很佩服，不想还好，一想就肃然起敬、想求签名那种……”他表示自己还年轻，充满很多可能性。 斗鱼近期将重启直播电商项目。今年3月份开始，斗鱼已在平台的头部主播房间内进行了两次测试。预计5月份左右将开设独立的直播电商专区“王牌荐客”，并进行流量扶持。目前，斗鱼已招募并培养了一批卖货主播，同步在进行合作品牌方的招募，涉及到数码、服饰、快消品等几乎涵盖全品类，平台按照商品销量进行抽佣。 近日，微博全面升级电商产品功能，正式推出“微博小店”。微博小店为用户提供一整套店铺管理服务，主要包含的功能：商品的添加与管理、核心经营数据服务、推广信息设置等。 据外媒报道，知情人士透露，为适应新型冠状病毒全球大流行对业务造成的影响，Airbnb将暂时停止招聘及各类营销活动。Airbnb创始人将暂时停薪，高管层将在未来6个月内减薪50%。此外，Airbnb员工还被告知，他们不太可能拿到2020年的奖金。这位要求匿名的知情人士表示，停止招聘的范围基本涉及到所有岗位，只有极少数关键职位例外。 从2月到3月，美国的Facebook直播观众人数增加了50%。这个每月拥有25亿活跃用户的社交媒体巨头表示，它也在加大努力，让更多人可以观看直播视频，包括在没有Facebook账户的情况下观看直播视频，以及只听视频直播的音频的方式。Facebook应用软件负责人说，由于新冠病毒疫情的传播，用户行为发生变化，公司正在改变产品路线图。

This week, Ben, John, and Ryan explore the art of understanding new real estate markets -- including what drives appreciation, occupancy, and rent growth.   (Transcript below.)   Ep. 11 - Location, Location, Location - Deciding Where to Invest   Ben Shelley: [00:00:07] Welcome to the Brick x Brick Podcast. I'm Ben and I'm here with John and Ryan for today's episode. We're going to discuss the geographic area of choice for most investors when they're first deciding where they want to make their first real estate investment. We're going to talk about markets in submarkets timing of purchases and how to source those deals and the process itself of narrowing down your search. As an individual investor begin to decide where it is you want to allocate your capital both for your first investment for intermediary investments and for future investments. So guys let's jump right into it maybe we can talk a little bit about our own processes and how we got into the first markets we found and what drew us to those markets I think that might be a good place to start. Ryan you want to take a crack at it.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:00:49] Sure. The way that I break down this discussion is starting at the top we're looking at things on a market level and then beneath that you begin to consider these submarket. And then beneath that you have different neighborhoods or other areas within that submarket. So when I was making my investment decisions locally or at least most recently what I was originally contemplating was which market I wanted to be in which for me was an easy decision because I was pretty limited in that I wanted to do it close to where I was geographically located. And beyond that I was looking at a variety of factors such as the entry point on the on a purchase which limited me or at least precluded me from buying in let's say an area like Manhattan. And then lastly I was looking for neighborhoods that kind of struck a balance between something that had a a little bit of a positive outlook moving forward but that wasn't so saturated it wasn't so competitive nowadays that I felt liked where I got to where I felt future opportunity or future values had kind of passed me by.   John Errico: [00:02:05] Yeah I think where to invest is a broad topic.   John Errico: [00:02:09] And the way that I got started was just I mean if you listen to the podcast before my investing story is like I just wanted to buy a place near where I was already living. So you know I was living in Manhattan and I wanted my place in the Greater York City area. So I bought a place in New Jersey which was the closest affordable place at the time to where I was living. But the factors that go into where you want to invest I think depend a little bit on your investment thesis. So maybe we can get in a little bit to that. You know I think from a very high level the easiest way to say where I want to invest is I won't invest in a place that makes me the greatest returns. But that may not exactly be the greatest returns monetarily it may not be correlated with your goals in doing real estate investing. So for example if you can make great returns in a city very very far away from where you live that might be nice but if you want to get into doing investing say full time we're going to be a real operator totally outsourcing your investments to a third party in a different city is not going to fulfill the goals that you have of being a real estate operator. I don't Ryan actually started investing not locally right your first deal was in Nashville Memphis Memphis.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:03:25] I wish it was a outflow of appreciated walking and whether it is Memphis.   Ben Shelley: [00:03:29] It was it was a turnkey investment right.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:03:31] And it was it was a construction on it was the single family purchased it for right around 50 grand and rented for like six seventy five a month. How did you find that. So that was that was back when I was wrapping up college my brother and I were looking for a turnkey investment to get something under our belts and we had kind of perused a few different markets outside of New York because we were a little bit more capital constrained.   John Errico: [00:03:54] And what is peruse exactly, perused, perused. How did you go about it   Ben Shelley: [00:03:59] This is why the geography map placed them in New Jersey because if you're outside of New Jersey you don't use the word Peru's center.   John Errico: [00:04:05] I mean I mean how how did you peruse I know I'm just certain at the time.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:04:09] Well we were first and foremost looking for something or for an area where we could buy something by a single family house for under K and building it rents that were obviously able to support the investment and yield a decent return but also to know that we're not buying in what we would have considered a war zone or an area where we wouldn't have really felt comfortable owning property especially remotely. So I think at the time we were looking at Memphis I think we had briefly considered some areas of Atlanta. I think there were some I think either Dallas or Houston there were some providers over there that we had explored very briefly but ultimately Memphis was the first one that we it seemed to take all the boxes. It was also easy to get to which for us was kind of important because we figured if if our manager wasn't holding up their end of the bargain and we had to physically go there we wanted somewhere where it wasn't gonna cost us a thousand dollars to take a roundtrip flight to go for two days just to make sure that the house wasn't on fire.   Ben Shelley: [00:05:09] Yeah it's funny you guys mention both the geography and familiarity with certain areas because I know while I am not as far in my career as either of you what brought me to Ryan first and then John was the fact that I had an interest in college and was seeking in college. My first investments particularly in the Hudson County area across the water in West New York in Union City in North Bergen and the reason for that was twofold. One of them was that the market was strong there was consistent rental growth and sales growth over a certain period of time which I was tracking and was was excited about as an investor. But there is also a familiarity factor in the sense that the person and partner that I was planning on going into this business with had family and friends who had been contractors in the area for many years. And so I understood that I was going in for myself. Looking at the market and having a familiarity with how to source deals and underwrite deals but had a partner who had experience with construction and understanding how much things cost. So I think it's probably important to also think about how do you know in certain areas. I mean it's natural to want to invest I think close by. And if the numbers can work for you and what are the other mitigating factors that might bring you closer to pulling the trigger on a deal in that neighborhood or maybe making you look a little bit further away.   John Errico: [00:06:20] Well yeah I think a really high level the way that I think about geography is so a lot of times I look at an area I'm looking at it for buy and hold purposes at least that's how I've been traditionally doing it I think for flips it's a little bit different we can talk about that but for a buy and hold area I like to come up with a thesis for investing in that area and if I don't have a thesis that I feel comfortable with or if I can't think of one then that's probably a bad sign. So the greatest example for me is then the Tri-State area like the New York City suburb. So the thesis for investing in New York or in New Jersey or in Connecticut anywhere around New York City is New York City. So obviously not everybody who lives in New Jersey or Connecticut or even New York works in New York City but the reason why this region is what it is is because of New York at some point. The reason why it's going to be sustained is because of New York. So when you're betting on when you're buying real estate around New York City you're betting on you know in a sense in New York City you're saying do I think people are going to keep living in New York City traveling a working culture whatever. And for me the answer is yes. Some people might disagree about that but probably a lot of people believe that New York City is going to be a great thing. We also invest in new haven Connecticut which is a little bit of a different market tertiary market not a New York City suburb per say but the reason why invest in new haven is because of Yale. So Yale has a ton of money. It owns a bunch of property in the area and it has the second largest endowment and other university in the entire nation.   Ben Shelley: [00:07:50] Here we go.   John Errico: [00:07:51] But so investing in real estate in New Haven particularly around Yale is betting on Yale and do I think that Yale is going to be a place where people want to go that's gonna have a lot of money that's going to keep care about the city. Yes I think that's a good that's a good answer. So you can take that analysis and say well you know what's my thesis for investing in a small city in Iowa. I don't know maybe the returns look great on paper but I'm wondering why people live there.   Ben Shelley: [00:08:17] Well I think it's going to I think a good example of that is the way that that you John identified and how we as a group are identifying properties in Atlantic City because I think what people would look at as mitigating factors to keep them away from the market things like the environments obviously the fact that the city could be underwater things like a generally I guess maybe you would say some are literally underwater literally underwater figured. So so so a market that is more based on what they deliver in the summertime so vacationers and people come in for maybe weekends or natural parties obviously there's the casinos down there and you found a model the Airbnb which has generated returns well above I think what you would generally get at market rate when you're talking about traditional rentals and so when I like your description of the thesis you bring to the table because that is a perfect example of looking at an area like Atlantic City that to a traditional foot through traditional metrics may maybe you say even if you live further way I don't know about this and turns that into that somewhere that I want to try to source deals and pick things on the cheap.   John Errico: [00:09:17] You can also tease out your assumptions and your risk factors that way right. So if you say I would invest in an area and the only reason why people live in the area is because there is this one big thing like there's a big manufacturing plant or there's this big type of industry. Then your sensitivity is well if that industry or manufacturing plant or whatever closes that's it there's no other reason to live in the area. So I'm not saying that's a bad reason to invest somewhere but it's helpful to have the knowledge of saying here's what I'm sensitive to and if any of those things happen then it's gonna be bad for me. And you know Detroit has an example right. So what.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:09:53] Or another example of that today or I mean quite timely as Long Island City and Amazon HQ2. There's a lot of hype and a lot of I think probably a lot of speculation that went on over the the last few weeks the last few months since each Q2 was announced for Long Island City and obviously the sensitivity there is a little bit different than it is in some other locations where you don't have such a diverse subset of industry but nonetheless I'm sure there is plenty of speculative work that was done in advance rather either for developments or for just people who thought Oh the rents are going to go through the roof because people who are coming in are going to have quite a bit of money.   Ben Shelley: [00:10:35] To piggyback off that real quick to the L train I think is even a greater example because that was two years in the running and people say new leases and moved businesses and sold homes.   Ben Shelley: [00:10:43] I had friends who were involved in the real estate business who were considering going in with partners and buying up homes or along that area at a discount to market. Given what everybody was anticipating so that's it's a great point.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:10:54] Or or the Upper East Side of Manhattan where you've had the Second Avenue subway in the works for I think it's been like 30 40 years since I really like or 60 plus or two. But yes it did.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:11:07] Finally it finally came on line over the last few years from 96 to 72.   Ben Shelley: [00:11:12] So it's getting married. So in another 80 years maybe it'll have to have more than three stops but it is amazing and it does do a lot for congestion as well and for pricing along that line. But it's funny because when I was working for a property manager actually we used to rent two homes that were literally right on Second Avenue on 83rd Street where the hub on eighty third was being built and the no and.   Ben Shelley: [00:11:35] I hate to say this I probably shouldn't put this on record but we would probably strategically not bring people during the height of working hours because it's unconscionably loud. However. At the same time people were then getting a discount to market and frankly if someone had come to us given how delayed that process was had come to my boss and offered a reasonable price maybe a little bit discounted to market. I wouldn't be shocked if she would have maybe considered something like that given the circumstance so it's all considerations to take into account and it's not just from an investing standpoint.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:12:03] It's interesting to think about how many deals were consummated over the last 20 30 40 years with the assumption that this redevelopment was going to be a success because over the long term that Second Avenue Subway was going to be a boon to the area.   John Errico: [00:12:18] And the other thing about it is you can never truly anticipate what's going to happen in a market you know again that the HQ to example is so great because now that you two is not happening in Long Island City police the time is recording so you can reference this was going to happen with the market and that's OK. But I think it's important to at least have the knowledge of the factors that might implicated. So even if you can't control them and don't know what's going to happen it's at least a modicum of control to have knowledge of what the factors are. So for me the first step in thinking about an area to invest in is is the thesis. Can I come up with a thesis that I feel comfortable with. Is there a reason why it's going to happen. And then along to dovetail with that something that we brought up earlier for me is what is my goal in investing is my goal to maximize the amount of money that I'm investing is my goal to learn about investing is my goal to make this one of many projects to two by only this type of asset to buy different types of assets to do buy and hold stuff to flip stuff but that depends on you. My goal Getting Started in real estate was to do more real estate investing. And for me that meant it was conducive to invest near where I was because if I was investing that's the country even if I had to do a lot of that just physically getting there would be very very hard and it would take me a long time to ramp up because even if I got comfortable with an area I would have to get very very very comfortable off sourcing all of that work to a third party living in wherever it might be before I really got started whereas living in New York and investing in new jersey as I started I mean that's a 15 20 minute trip over that I can do it any time. And did many many times before I moved here.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:13:59] There's also some calculus involved with what your risk tolerance is because the Amazon HQ2 example highlights the resiliency of the New York market where frankly that's probably not going to make much of a ding in the economic viability of of those areas. But if you're talking about an area. In if you're talking about you know a 1 manufacturing plant town in rural Pennsylvania and your investing thesis is that there are 5000 jobs in that specific area that are tied to that plant at the moment that plant shuts there are going to be very few things to pick up the slack for you. And so the risk is like it's truly a boom bust is either it's going to go well because you have that or you're going to be. There's going to be no suitors for your for your property as tenants and there will probably be very few end buyers should you decide to liquidate.   John Errico: [00:14:54] Yeah it's one of the things that annoys me but sometimes I'll encounter people who say oh man I'm making a killing investing in city I've never heard of in state that is you know among the 10 least populated states in the country and it's like well maybe I mean maybe the returns are great but why do people live there. You know like what what's going on in that. I I don't say that cynically because maybe there is some reason they just don't fully understand. But you know I bet that you could find a multifamily property in small town come a small state that's going to look great on paper but what's going to happen to that property in two five 10 years. I have no idea. I'm probably not sure that market enough nor can I come up with a thesis as to why it's going to do well so that's that's a pretty risk investment to me even if the numbers might bear out as being very conservative.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:15:42] To what extent this is kind of shifting gears a little bit. But John look to what extent if you have vetted a particular market let's say you're talking about New Haven. To what extent do you try to validate some of your assumptions with data you get into some of the demographic data do you get into average incomes. Do you look at home prices like what what's your what's your next step.   John Errico: [00:16:03] I don't I haven't really looked at demographic data per say. What I'm most interested in would be the rents versus price of homes for a buy and hold. So that information is extremely readily available it's literally going on Zillow or anything looking at what homes are and then going on Craigslist or rent on Twitter or any of these other Web sites and seeing what the average rents are. That alone is a pretty good starting point. I think crime data is very helpful. I think crime is probably one of the prerequisites to a lot of. I mean you can have great returns on paper but if you can't walk outside your door nobody is going to know it's going to live there. There's a big distinction in my mind between what the returns could be on paper and what they actually are. A lot of areas that have bad crime you look at whatever analytical model you want to look at cap rate cash on cash return or whatever and you say oh my gosh it's so great. Even if you assume vacancy of 10 percent or whatever and then you go in and it's insane because you just can't get anybody to live there you know your vacancy is like 50 percent or 80 percent or whatever you want to say.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:17:10] It's funny you mentioned that because I have a theory that oftentimes the best deals the best returns that you can actually realize fall at that intersection between the areas where people have these preconceptions about maybe there being too much crime or it just being undesirable for one reason or another so that you know it scares out a certain class of person. But at the same time the reality is when you investigate it there are still plenty of people who do live there and the perception of crime perhaps is overblown. And so I think that's really where you can maximize returns and that's where that kind of like artistic or subjective metric of like intuition comes into play where you actually go somewhere and you see it and you understand what the living breathing fabric of that is.   John Errico: [00:17:56] Yeah. Davies is a concrete example. So I started investing in Union City New Jersey and I think Union City and Jersey City as well very much had fit that these. So even now there's a perception in parts of Jersey City but certainly 5 10 years ago in many parts of Jersey City and Union City that the area was dangerous and unsafe and it certainly was in the 90s. But if you physically go to the area if you walk around and you talk to people you say do you like living here. You kids like living here if you ever experience bad crime you know whatever. No one says anything at all if you look at the news reports. I mean there's maybe domestic issues or maybe small property crime type stuff but not anything that would really disincentive someone to live there. But there's this widespread perception that the air is not good. And to your point. Absolutely. You can make it you can make a killing.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:18:43] We've also talked about this in the context of comparing certain cities that have the reputation for being kind of like the worst of the worst. But even within that classification there are big differences. I think we were we were talking about with some of the cities up here where people around here may say like What are you doing buying in so-and-so town or so-and-so city. But when we go there we feel pretty comfortable during the day there's you know there's people coming to and from work. People just kind of hanging around and talking and no hostility no obvious. Signs of threats really. But there are other places where where we've been where you go and you'll be. You'll go like two or three blocks and all you see are vacant abandoned houses and just like the absence of life which is perhaps the scariest thing. And as far as that concerns and actual investment my my theory with a lot of these places up here is that while there are certain tiers of desirability at the end of the day there's a shortage of housing and people want to live where there is a safe clean quiet comfortable place to live. And if you can provide them with that even if it might not be an area where you personally would live that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of reasonable nice qualified people who will live there.   Ben Shelley: [00:20:00] And I think it's an important point too because you want to try to fight your own biases. As you look at these for an area. So I think it's very easy to fall into this sort of ideal especially if you're coming from outside of the real estate business that somebody says something about maybe Irvington or East Orange. Both places that were either invested in or doing work in and you just say Oh yeah. Why would I go there. Or what could possibly be there and then when you put your boots on the ground you learn that there's actually opportunity whether it be in construction or investment and I think that just actually just the other day I was talking to friends who were from the summit New Jersey area describing work we were doing in some of those municipalities and they were stunned. I mean they were flattered that Irvington and what are you doing there. Obviously there are different areas that have different levels of crime. What have you and all these different cities and townships. But fundamentally if you build as Ryan just alluded to safe good fundamentally sound homes there people will come especially as these towns and areas begin to get younger over time. I think you'll see generally speaking a shift in all of these different areas because at one point or another they did thrive.   John Errico: [00:21:02] Yeah I think it's a great point. So something that occurs to me is a lot of what we're talking about is very specific to the northeast and I don't want to gloss over it. There are listeners who are not from the Northeast and I think it's hard to describe exactly how block by block a lot of these neighborhoods are so kind of within that observation is to go back to Ryan's first point something that I really like to look at when I'm looking at cities or blocks or whatever it might be is the build quality of homes because a lot of these homes you know we're not buying new construction in this area. These homes were built 40 50 60 100 plus years ago and by looking at the homes you can say well this area used to be very wealthy or this area was never particularly wealthy or this you know unhealthy area now has become wealthy for some reason. So what a good example for me is East Orange East Orange is a an area New Jersey that has a I would say quite negative perception just in terms of housing and demographics and crime and whatever else you want education the educational system definitely has some problems. However the build quality of a lot of homes any storage is quite nice and there are some areas of East Orange where you look at homes that are on half an acre of land which for this area is a tremendous huge lot. And you say what is a beautiful home. I mean beautiful original woodwork that you could just never reproduce today never would reproduce today. And that gives you some sense to say well this area at one time was wealthy maybe it could be wealthy again. What are the reasons why it became on wealthy. How does that work. And truly I could walk three blocks. I mean the literal blocks in any direction from that and being a totally different area I mean a totally where I live right now where I'm physically located right now literally I could throw a stone across the river and go into an area that is totally demographically economically socially educationally different than where I'm living. That's pretty rare and should inform people that one invest in areas like this that say I need to do my homework to figure out not only that the city not the neighborhood but the block that I'm interested in investing in.   Ben Shelley: [00:23:07] Yeah I mean listen we just had that happen with also a property this is a little bit of a different area on the border of Nutley and Clifton and talking about OK on a macro level right you want to just know what's the neighborhood like. So we've talked about crime we've talked about education and we've talked about socioeconomic and cultural history of the area but also within that is OK so what is the designation SEO been in different counties means you might be designated for different public schools in different zones. So these are the kinds of obviously different costs affiliated with mainland so what have you based on the history of the area and the build of the homes in the area. So these are all things that you have to consider and I know when I'm looking at comps even in these areas and I'm used to growing up in New York City where truly I mean it's I mean just block by block it's lot by lot it's building by building the values change coming in New Jersey where a lot sizes tend to be a little bit smaller probably on aggregate than the rest of the country it's still the same way in many respects and looking at at Garfield the other day I mean I was looking near the water I think on River Drive and again in certain areas a lot by lot. I see sales of similar like properties at the same square footage with similar lot sizes going variant ranges of 100 to 150 thousand dollars. So do your due diligence on the specific area the specific building the specific lot. And John hits the nail on the head with that one.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:24:22] And if you're going outside of outside of what you know if you're investing remotely and looking at an area where maybe you didn't grow up or maybe you don't currently live it's also important to take into account some other factors that may may be variable depending on the region. So for example in in northern New Jersey it's it's very common that when you buy a house you'll do an oil tank sweep and confirm that there is not an oil tank on the property or an underground oil underground or oftentimes there you may see them in the basement do. But of bigger concern is the. Underground variety. But if you're you know if you're investing from somewhere where that fuel source was never prevalent you would never even think to. To call someone out to do a tank sweep. Likewise if you're in New Jersey and you're looking to buy something in Florida you should. You're going to be thinking about hurricane preparedness and and whether it is like hurricane compliant. Likewise in. California you're going to be taking into account certain seismic issues and concerns. So there are a lot of nuances to different areas that you should at least know to be aware of or know to ask about.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:25:31] If you are investing from out of town.   John Errico: [00:25:32] What you guys think about school districts because that's something that people talk to me about a lot and I have various thoughts on it. New Jersey has a lot of school districts because their municipality by municipality which in some states it's not the case. But what do you guys think about the value importance of that.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:25:48] I mean it's huge. I think they're the way that I think about it is it is quite possibly the most important factor that a particular subset of buyers will consider when making their housing decision. But in a lot of ways I also think that the respectability or the clout of a school district is already embedded in the price of real estate in that area. So just because I'm to I'm looking at one property in one school district and another property in another school district. That are priced the same I'm not immediately going to say I'm going to buy the one in a better school district. There may be other reasons why someone would live in an area that has a less desirable school district. You may be renting to primarily. Seniors or you may be. Looking at something in a vacation community where schools just don't matter as much. So I think it's certainly it's certainly a factor. And it's one that I would weigh considerably. But it also has to be consistent with what your strategy is.   John Errico: [00:26:49] The funny thing about school districts is that it's the perception of the school district that cares right now. No there's no like definitive rating of this is the absolute number one best school district in the state or whatever. It's just your perception of it. If it's a good school district right. So vote for me because it's a perception thing. I think that school districts school districts are the best insulator of value positive or negative. If you have a bad school district and you're trying to make the area better I think that's going to be really hard because this is a far afield from real estate. But I think that it's hard to change the quality of the school district and if you're in a good school district or perceived good school district your value is going to maintain that level because for better or for worse people are going to continue to perceive that school district as being good.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:27:36] Yeah. I have two points to make from different ends of the spectrum. On the pro side of why to invest in an area with a good school district no matter what the market is no matter what point in the economic cycle we're at. If you are a young family with kids who are entering your you know who are turning four or five six years old and looking to be are going to be going to school soon. They're going to be they're going to be interested in areas with good school districts and that is going to be more of a guiding light than whether. Whether they're buying at the best time or whether this particular properties ticks every box on their checklist. On the flip side to my point earlier about considering school districts in the context of what your investing strategy is if you look at an area like Jersey City or Hoboken years ago those were not desirable school districts whatsoever. And I think to a large extent at least based on what their property values are they're are still quite poor school districts. But what drove development in those towns was the demographic changes of getting very very young and catering to a class of people that are not necessarily concerned with school districts because they're only living there in their years prior to having kids school age children.   Ben Shelley: [00:28:55] I mean I think it's worth noting where we're Jersey City and Hoboken as good examples are concerned is that there is spill over areas though as well. So you know when you're already we're already constantly weighing all these different factors. And I think that's a perfect example of where a lesser school district isn't going to deter you from a certain neighborhood. But I think it's worth noting for new investors or even intermediate investors that when you're looking at these areas you talk about John talked about right at the beginning of this episode the resiliency of the Tri-State area and a lot of why that makes everywhere around this very appealing. And I think that if you're identifying an area just outside a city oftentimes your bias is going to take you towards thinking well look what happened to Long Island City or is happening to Long Island City look at what's happened to Jersey City and you'll extrapolate and say that's going to happen in my area. And just to be careful about that so so to look at the school districts for example if if you're looking at a spillover area in a really good city if the school district is bad now seeing some of these other areas doing your due diligence of like kind cities areas municipalities townships you might be more inclined to take the leap.   Ben Shelley: [00:29:57] And looking at an investment like that.   John Errico: [00:29:59] I want to frame this too by saying it is the case that there are areas that are not. Not only are they not getting better but they're getting worse. I mean I think we maybe look at real estate a little bit like we being the three of us with rose colored glasses because we've been investing in the longest kind of bull market that has been in a very long time fought for real estate specifically.   John Errico: [00:30:22] But there are you know not to pick on Newark but Newark is a city many parts of Newark have been economically depressed since the 60s and are still that way. And I bet you could go back to 1965 and talk to somebody like you know what it's gonna be in five 10 years the city is coming back and we're doing is do that. And you know I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen to Newark in five or 10 years certainly some areas of Newark have gotten better but I would say some mayors have stayed the same or maybe even gotten worse so it's OK to come to conclusion that look I mean statistically Connecticut people are leaving Connecticut people are I'm moving to Connecticut anymore so you could say well I mean some areas of Connecticut like I mentioned New Haven I have a thesis about. But Connecticut broadly I don't really want invest in a place where there's a net outflow of people. There's some reason why people are leaving Connecticut. And that concerns me. So it's OK to say look this is an area that isn't getting better it might be getting worse for some a thesis about why it might get worse. So I mean how do you guys feel about that.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:31:23] Well I think this also comes back to just having a having an investment strategy and choosing a market based on what your strategy is. If your bank. Banking on appreciation I think would be quite unwise to look at a market where all of the demographic factors and shifts are trending in the wrong direction. I don't think I don't think it's wise to assume that your property value is going to skyrocket when all of you know when you're facing all of these headwinds. Having said that if you're looking at an area if you're looking for an area where your primary goal is cash flow and you're making reasonable assumptions on what your vacancy is going to be and you're not assuming 10 percent annual rent growth which would be you know pretty absurd in an area that is an appreciating and isn't trying new blood every year it's it's a matter of being consistent with what your strategy is. If you're looking at an area that's going to appreciate over the long haul you should have a thesis that is consistent with that and you should have some data to back it up.   John Errico: [00:32:22] What do you feel about investing in college towns.   Ben Shelley: [00:32:25] It's funny junkies because I was actually sent an article about this a couple of years ago even a buddy of mine who I went to the shack program with me him and his program at NYU and we had some very procedures for a notice how I pointedly do not name the school I'm just joking I love NYU love that school in Goshen New York universe I believe in careful and wide I think is the offer but I'm not really sure Bob Gates who when you go to our football team undefeated that's all that matters because we don't have a football team.   Ben Shelley: [00:32:54] So it's interesting so I got an article sent to me a couple of years ago by this this buddy of mine and his dad and they were very interested in this concept and again the theory goes well these school towns are young they're generally thriving within the nucleus of where the the school owns buildings. Generally speaking if it's a good academic institution they're going to look to eventually expand because they're all looking to bring profits up so they need to bring in more people who can pay full tuition so they'll expand outwards. And we see a little bit of that in New Haven. And and it's been maybe slow and maybe not expended as far as some people would think. But this is the question because as I now know having been introduced to the neighborhood to John within a certain radius that is true the margins still work out for. For new and intermediate investors but it hasn't come all the way I think within a margin.   Ben Shelley: [00:33:42] And when I say margin I mean the geographic margin that I think most people would have predicted giving the prestige and the academic successes that surround a school like Yale and the perception.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:33:50] To me no matter what what your thesis is it's almost impossible to accurately predict appreciation because any appreciation that you are assuming. Okay let's say let's say your thesis is Temple University is expanding here. That's going to catalyze the area and there's going to be a lot of growth it's going to drive property values up. The other thing that can counteract that is if there are 30 other developers who have the same theory that you have and they go snatch up all developable land and they build way and act like an overall excess of supply relative to what the increase in demand will support. So just because things are happening and things are trending in the right direction in that scenario you may actually see a decrease in property values. So I think appreciation is always very difficult to predict. And I think it's foolish to make an investment solely based off of that thesis.   John Errico: [00:34:48] What do you think about. So I often have this problem. I think even recently we were talking about this and I run where you'll look at an area and you'll just run the numbers and you'll see these returns like monster returns like 10 percent cap rate ex and sometimes I look at that and it's like why don't I just buy everything in this city you know like why why am I even bothering and other places where you know I'm not getting those returns I can come up with reasons right now like as to why I wouldn't but I wonder how you guys feel about that if you've seen places   Ben Shelley: [00:35:17] like that. Well I mean I think diversification is the name of the game I think people talk about this term a lot but to me the first thought I have is Atlantic City is a perfect example. The returns that we see cash on cash the cap rates particularly for our model and our thesis in that area is quite substantial.   John Errico: [00:35:34] Of course hurricane cynic everybody's gonna start investing you like I just like your audience just like you can't right now. Just somebody has to go about it.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:35:42] Also keep in mind that a lot of these models that we're running are predicated on an Airbnb model which is highly susceptible to regulatory risk.   Ben Shelley: [00:35:49] Do we have right give a disclaimer. Listen you go out you try your best see if you could do in line. We are trained professionals under closed or delay.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:35:57] The reason I bring this up we in in 93 the reason I bring this up is because I actually texted John about this the   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:36:05] other day. There's I think there are rumors swirling that Newark is potentially clamping down on Airbnb. I don't if you saw the article that I sent you because. Again John what he's ignored me.   John Errico: [00:36:17] No I I didn't ignore you. In fact I've been thinking about it constantly. So that's it. I'm just getting emails.   Ben Shelley: [00:36:24] We are always thinking about them.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:36:25] I'm not bitter not ignored means I just like you know doing it. I just I just actively didn't respond.   Ben Shelley: [00:36:31] Let me just let me just say because that was that sort of a parlays to the point that I wanted to make I hate to keep bringing up Atlantic City but the reason I do that is look what happened in 2012. Hurricane Sandy hits the entire area was ravaged and destroyed it could happen where Atlantic City or Atlantic County completely clamps down on Airbnb BS and throws the thesis out the window. So the idea is diversification you want to be invested in a number of different areas with a number of different hopefully successful theses so that if in any scenario the worst case risk factor occurs you're hedging and you're able to continue to sustain positive net cash flow throughout   John Errico: [00:37:06] your entire portfolio. Yeah I mean.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:37:07] I mean what what other arbitration are you guys why is this I think a lot of that's I think a lot of that is predicated on underwriting to an Airbnb Airbnb context which I would argue is not necessarily as much of a real estate play as it is a quote unquote business play because the end of the day your income is going to be driven by the fact that you are effectively running a hospitality business despite what Airbnb will be lobbyists What.   Ben Shelley: [00:37:35] What do you mean by that. Because to me I understand the distinction you're making between an as a true real estate versus just generally business hospitality play but like when I look at different areas underwriting New Haven is different in underwriting Hudson County is different underwriting Bergen County and so still diversification is diversification because it's a cash flow play doesn't get an appreciation.   John Errico: [00:37:54] It's really like you. It's not. I see what you look like you could use it right or just depending on how good or bad you are at doing it. I mean to some extent strip management in general. Yeah. Much more so in Airbnb sorry.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:38:06] Well I think what I'm but I was also getting it as I think the baseline underwriting assumption in any real estate deal should be more of a conventional strategy whether it's I would say more of a conventional strategy know if it's a 2-family house underwrite it as to stabilized apartments renting out on twelve month leases and then if you think that there's opportunity to employ a strategy like Airbnb be with one or both of those maybe that's your upside case. But I think it's a super risky investing thesis to have all of your eggs in that one basket. And I think that kind of gets back to our overall investing strategy being a little bit more diversified and not having all of our eggs in that one.   Ben Shelley: [00:38:48] It's a good point and I want to be clear that most of what we look at is not for that business model and the idea being that if it works conventionally it's probably going to work with other means.   John Errico: [00:38:56] I mean it's an interesting broader topic for me we've been talking about this a lot in the context of our private equity fund which is how to quantify risk. And I I like the idea of baking in risk in an analytical model in a numerical model in some way. But I think that's really difficult to do. Like I so we're talking about say regulatory risk with European bee or maybe we're talking about a risk involved with some industry being the only driver for people to live in a certain city. How do you quantify that. How do you say Well I think there's like a 20 percent chance of this happening or 10 percent or higher. I mean it's hard for me to do that. And so it can be hard to build a portfolio so you have you know you're trying to buy 10 homes and you want to have a risk adjusted diversified kind of portfolio. I think it's really difficult to come up with the right allocation.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:39:47] Well I think the mitigant to that is on the portfolio level and it's on the strategy side. I don't know that even the smartest quantitative minds I think would struggle to come up with a model that accurately depicts the risk associated with that but I think the beauty of working in the space where we work where our assets are smaller and you know we're talking about maybe a portfolio of 100 different properties in 15, 10 different markets versus another fund that is working on a portfolio with a similar asset size. But that is tied to one physical property with you know one hundred and fifty units. I think the benefit to being in our shoes is that we can we can diversify risk across that portfolio and say OK to mitigate the risk like the regulatory risk of the Airbnb model we're going to only allocate 15 percent of our portfolio to properties whose cash flow is tied to that strategy. We're also going to mitigate risk. We're going to mitigate the risk of let's say Amazon HQ to influence on our on our portfolio and on our returns by only limiting exposure to 10 percent of our portfolio in Long Island Cityetc.   John Errico: [00:41:03] Yeah I'm glad that we got here. I think because even if you don't have the answers to these questions I think it's it's fair to consider them. You know I think there are a lot of investors that start out and you know the one might have like don't worry but all these things because then you'll never do anything on the other hand. I'm like Well don't you know don't invest in a place just because your buddy says it's a cool place to invest right. Like we think because it's just that our level of experience and what we do professionally with being the three of us here are more analytical about it than I think a beginning investor should be or could be. But even even knowing you even having this thought process I think it is novel for a lot of investors just getting started because they're not thinking about risk and investing theses and things like that in   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:41:53] an area. I think under Understanding risk is a difficult topic but I think there is or maybe quantifying risk is next to impossible but Understanding risk is a little bit different. And I think that is a goal that every investor should strive towards when like prior to making a significant investment decision. And what I mean by that is you may say you may be looking at something in New Haven and you may be looking at something next to another town that is heavily driven by like a smaller university. You may say oh like college towns are great as an overlying thesis but I think to understand the risk of hitching your wagon to an institution like Yale versus the University of Phoenix which is you know a quasi education a quasi educational institution.   John Errico: [00:42:45] No I totally agree.   John Errico: [00:42:46] I think the reason why I brought up investing in college towns and not to go everywhere but what I wanted to say about it was that there's a big difference in investing in a established university than a community college even if they're both might be in a college town not there's anything wrong with the community college at all but in terms of your long term idea is this place going to be around. I mean I've a pretty good idea that you know the second oldest university in the country that has the scholars now is gonna be around.   John Errico: [00:43:15] I don't know that about a school that was maybe started three years ago that has no money that is just trying to make a quick buck or something like I don't I mean it's.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:43:23] I think it's also worth worth at least throwing out there the fact that maybe education down the road won't look like what it looks like today. So I think an institution like Yale it's prestigious enough that they will probably find a way to stay relevant and to live on. But you know if in 20 30 years down the road education may not take the same form that it does today we may I think we kind of take for granted the assumption that four year colleges are kind of the norm these days. But that wasn't always the case and it may not always be the case in the future. And it's interesting to contemplate a world in which that is not the case especially if you are especially your hitching your wagon to investing in quote unquote college town.   John Errico: [00:44:07] It's a really exciting point and I want to actually touch on one thing very related which is that there's so many things like this that are going on that that are limited perspective having invest in real estate only for a few years. Can't really observe it but one thing that always blows my mind is the influence of ride sharing Uber and Lyft that they have had on suburban America I think is is tremendous. I mean it's changed a lot. What it means to live in a suburb and still be able to go out and say drink or do whatever else that you maybe couldn't do if you had to drive and imagine what say we you know someday soon maybe we'll have autonomous vehicles what might that change for people living in a suburb or people that have to commute you know what if we have the Elon Musk you know Hyperloop dream or we can get from San Francisco to New York in an hour or something like what what how might that change.   Ben Shelley: [00:45:02] I am just so inspired right.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:45:03] It's funny that it's funny that you brought these up because I had if we could live on Mars.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:45:07] I got I had those same two thoughts running through my head as winter as this conversation was evolving and I don't know the extent to which either of you are familiar with like Black Swan Theory Black Swan investing.   John Errico: [00:45:19] But it's a great film. I've actually surprise surprise.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:45:27] But the I think as human beings we are we are uniquely poor at quantifying the risk of outlier events. And there are a lot of things that in our minds are probably perceived as impossible that are really just improbable which means there are enough of these improbabilities that eventually something is going to stick and that's going to be something transformative and it's going to be something that turns on its head. All of these things that we take for granted like something like a Yale falling off the face of the earth or something like you know Washington DC ceasing to be the political capital of the United States or New York ceasing to be the most relevant city in the state here in the country.   Ben Shelley: [00:46:13] And this is kind of a diversion from where we're going because these two are inspiring me with the words of wisdom about the future. But I do want to also address to newer investors kind of like myself as well and go back to a point about not necessarily being overly cautious but but understanding sort of where you're at in terms of your equity means and in terms of the amount of research and experience you have in certain areas. Even looking beyond what the future holds because one of the things I come back to because I think about all of these potential changes that are going to occur in society and cities and suburbs etc which will affect markets and I would just encourage I think investors when you're identifying the geographic location are going to to just be real with yourself within your means and not to necessarily extrapolate beyond what the numbers and area and people who are on the ground are telling you because you may believe in a lot of these things that are coming to these areas but it's very easy to fall into the confirmation bias cycle of saying of believing a certain ARV for a flip or believing a 2-family is going to generate you know X Y Z market when really it's rent control or rent stabilized and I realize this seems like a huge diversion from from where we work. But I do want to get back to sort of this idea that when you're looking at some of these areas to be that maybe that first project isn't always saying well this this and this is going to happen so I'm going to be super aggressive and invest in you know a 5000 square foot commercial space station in for example the multi-family market might be the best idea for you as you're analyzing the geographic area that you want to invest in for the first time.   John Errico: [00:47:45] Yeah it's all for me it's a it's a risk reward sort of calculation right. I mean it goes back to one of the first things that we were talking about for me which is just to define your goals you know if your goal is to learn more than that dictates where you are going to invest if your goal is to make as much money as you can then that's a very different goal. If your goal is to make as much money as you can in a year versus in 10 years in a hundred years that's a very different goal to make your goal is just to house hack and not have to pay rent to try and get a little ancillary income on the side.   John Errico: [00:48:17] That's a different thesis that I mean and honestly if your thesis is law if you're investing horizon is long you can make some pretty fantastic investments I mean there are families in New York that have generational investing theses. So I mean they literally bought property in World War 2 that only now are they really cashing in on. And good for them. You know I mean that's you know probably in 1950 buying a very large piece of land in Times Square might have been very speculative and it probably looked like a horrible investment until you imagine you know the Giuliani administration let's be honest no it looked like a bad investment or pretty recently and and now it's it's really pay dividends.   John Errico: [00:49:04] I don't know what the return on investment might be but it's substantial it's probably not.   John Errico: [00:49:08] So you know but if your thesis is I want to do a flip and sell it in three months then you know don't invest in Manhattan but I mean there are different categories of things that you should buy.   Ben Shelley: [00:49:20] I think the word that I was looking for the phrase I was looking forward to to sort of tie in all these different points is as been as a as a newer investor or even an intermediate investor a cautiously aggressive both in actually allocating your capital in your equity and also how you analyze these deals don't be aggressively cautious though don't be aggressive. Alan let me try to figure out that pretzel in my head. Don't be aggressively coy. I like that. Yes I agree. Yeah I learned some new from these guys every day.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:49:47] Yeah I guess the way that I would frame this in my mind is before you look at a specific deal and before you decide they're going to make an investment first understand what you are investing in you're investing in market you're investing in maybe that school system you're investing in that economy and it's not just is this property going to on paper show that it's going to be profitable there. There are a variety of inputs and there are a variety of factors that are going to contribute to whether those rents are going to stay the same over the next 20 years whether they're going to maybe increase or decrease whether your vacancy is going to increase or decrease or stay stable and and whether the appreciation on the property is going to be what you hope it will be whether it's going to be stable or whether it's whether you're going to be stuck down the line with a property that there just aren't as many buyers for it as what you were expecting.   Ben Shelley: [00:50:44] Yeah I think to that point and that's what we talked about the fact that the three of us look at things perhaps more analytically than your your most common investor which makes sense because this is what we do for a living. But I think kind of moving into the next episode. That's where I get excited about talking with our listeners and everyday investors about both from a basic intermediate and expert level. What are the best ways to analyze the numbers that you're seeing in front of you. Because like we said there are a million outside factors that affect whether or not an investment is good both forward looking backward looking and in the present. So just sort of understanding. You know we say cash on cash when we say cap rate not just what those means but how to get those numbers and whether and how that will inform your decisions. After you've decided on which geographic location you want to invest in.   John Errico: [00:51:33] Yeah. And one thing I mean as I've said in many many podcast episodes are that we have very many but something that I've said several times as I still think it's very important just to do it and get started. So what I hope people would take away from this is not that I need to be sucked into this analysis vortex of numbers and thoughts and risk and everything else but that these are important things to consider. I don't have the answers we don't have the answers to many the questions that we posed. But it's important to answer to them. However the end of the day if you want to get started just get started and do it. So that's how I got started with not any of this analysis or thought process that I've backed into it and it's been fortunate for me but I wouldn't have had been in that position been in this position if it didn't just start.   Ryan Goldfarb: [00:52:16] I would also just think about the risk that you are taking. I think a lot of the reason why this kind of analysis paralysis or the these kind of these kinds of mental models are there for quote unquote market analysis those are in large part driven by developers who are looking at building 600 units in an area and where at the margins the difference between. Two percent population growth and two and a half percent population growth are going to be the difference between whether they have enough people to live in their building or not. If you're talking about a two or three unit building in a town that's been around for hundreds of years and where there are dozens and dozens of large employers chances are the landscape is not going to change that much. So if you've got a decent deal which will discuss how to find in the next episode you can pretty safely pull the trigger knowing that the variables that are outside of your control are likely not going to move the needle too much.   Ben Shelley: [00:53:16] Guys.

民宿，本质上是和酒店可以并存的两个市场。体验、价格、地理位置和亲子环境的不同，使得民宿相对于标准化的酒店有了独特的优势。Airbnb 作为民宿领域的巨头，有着“最不可能但最完美的商业模式”——Airbnb 的每个空间均为非标品，让平台拥有定价权，加之网络效应明显，构筑了极深的护城河。Airbnb 能赢下中国的民宿市场吗？难点主要在于供给端的限制和本土竞争：中国的房子格局普遍较小，不存在共享的多余房间。经济型连锁酒店极其发达，同时中国出现了一批运营型民宿公司——收集闲置房源，进行改装运营。和 Airbnb 相比，本土公司有着更接地气的供应端运营策略。相对于本土公司，Airbnb 的优势首先在于旅游天然的国际化网络效应——这一点是和其他进军中国的硅谷公司的最大区别。其次，Airbnb 的文化和社区具有高度独特性, 用户对社区具有归属感。本期节目，黄海和 Rio 一起探讨 Airbnb 在中国的市场前景。 节目反馈，请关注 @疯投圈的微博。更多干货分享与专属会员活动，加入疯投圈的知识星球：用微信扫二维码 https://t.zsxq.com/EIqrRju 加入。在手机上操作可先保存图片至系统相册，然后点击微信扫一扫右上角扫描相册内二维码。 Rio 和任宁主播的科技播客《提前怀旧》 Rio 和吴涛主播的科技播客《内核恐慌》 推荐阅读 当流量优势不再，消费升级怎么做？ Airbnb Plus’ Risky Bet to Push Homesharing to a New Level Union Square Ventures 合伙人 Fred Wilson 反思错过 Airbnb 的博文 Y Combinator 创始人 Paul Graham 与 Fred Wilson 关于 Airbnb 的邮件往来 Airbnb 创始人 Brian Chesky 收到的七封硅谷 VC 拒信

Listen & Subscribe via iTunes Today's episode is all about Transparency, an important word…especially in our line of work. We, in the Airbnb, vacation rental market, provide an important service, and being clear about that service is crucial to getting positive reviews and generating repeat guests and revenue. It's about managing expectations and eliminating unwanted surprises. Today's episode is all about the importance of Transparency. So this discussion will NOT revolve around what you're expecting from your guests. Oh no, dear hosts. Today we're talking about are you clear with your guests. In your photos, captions, and description. As a Host be a Guest: As you have heard me say time and again, the best learning lesson as a host is to be a guest. To book a listing and just be a true blue guest. Case in point. May had me pretty busy, traveling for some speaking engagements and conferences. Needless to say, I've been using Airbnb Airbnb, so I've been a guest a few times this month… Coincidentally (So happens), all in Texas. My bookings were at very different places and different price points, but they were all learning experiences. And if I'm learning something new, you know I'll be sharing it with you, my dear hosts. Believe me, every time the experience is not GREAT, I'm like, “OMG, this is going to be an amazing episode!” Actually, to be fair, I do the same when they're great experiences, as well. I do think the hosting community is going to appreciate this episode. I have spoken a little bit about both listings and even shared some photos on my Instagram feed. But it's time to share it all and come clean in this episode… Yes, I'm spilling the beans on Texas! On this episode My adventures and Misadventures in the Lone Star State Dallas, Texas Airbnb: So let's start with Dallas… Texas, I was, going there, on a very short trip and not wanting to spend a boatload of money. I had a credit from Airbnb for being a Superhost, and being that it was about to expire, I was like, “Ok, let's use it up”… and use it up, I did. I did have specific criteria. The listing had to be: Inexpensive Near my meeting Have good reviews That's it… Simple. So, I found a place that I thought fit the bill for this trip. I didn't care that it was a private bedroom with a shared living space. Like I stated before, I was looking to save some cash. Plus, like you guys know, I like to experiment and see how different hosts do different things. It's a great way to learn as a host. And then, I like to share my experiences with you. Win-win. Let's Start with the Pros: The price was ideal and inexpensive… Less than $60 a night! I had a private bedroom with my own private bathroom. In the United States, it's what we call an en-suite bathroom. It even came with a jet spa. I didn't use it, but it was definitely a PRO. I personally want to clean a bathtub if I'm going to take a bath, but that's just me. I will say, the best part was the bathroom being in the bedroom. This eliminated me having to go out into the hallway to use the bathroom. Who wants to be roaming around a strange house in the dark, looking for the bathroom in a shared home? Not me! By the way, if you offer a private bedroom with its own private bathroom, I highly recommend that you use that in your listing name, as this feature pretty much TOPS everything else. Yes, dear hosts, it tops everything else. This particular host used this name for their listing. MASTER Bedroom/PRIVATE bath/oasis bathtub jet spa I wonder how many people care about having a jet spa? Like I said, I didn't use it, and it sure wasn't a consideration when booking. They did provide free parking. I wonder if that might be a more valuable feature as a booking point? I didn't have a car, as I was using car sharing during my stay, but if you're renting a car that would be a selling feature for sure. All I suggest is to think about what's important to your guest when naming your listing. It can make a booking difference. Do your guests inquire about parking, and you provide free parking? Then use free parking in your title. Is free parking more important than a jet spa? That's all I'm saying. So the price was a plus… another plus was how clean the space was. It was spotless, And I truly appreciated it. Definitely, no complaints about cleanliness. I love clean! Another plus was that they're a Superhost. As a fellow Superhost, I know what it means and what it takes. Kudos! I also read the reviews for the listing, and they were glowing. They also had clear House Rules. Tons of them! They were very detailed and concise, including that they had cameras in the hallway, living room, and front door. Why cameras in the hallway and living room I wonder?  Hosts, please know if you have any recording devices on your premises you need to divulge it to your guests. It's the law and a big Airbnb rule. Yes, if you have a ring video camera on your door you need to include this in your listing. Here are my CONS: I didn't find out I was sharing a house with other guests until I read the host's reviews. Yes, I dug because I know where to look. Someone else might have expected a warm greeting from a host only to find an inquisitive look from another guest. Luckily, I went to the host profile and saw that they have other rooms in the same house. Actually, it was the only way to found out that they were not living on the property and that other guests were sharing the house with you. Nowhere in the description, photos, or house rules did the host disclose that you could be sharing the space with other guests. Kind of strange, don't you think? This was one of the main reasons why I wanted to do this episode. Transparency, hosts, transparency. I did an episode about the lessons I learned as a guest when I stayed in San Diego. This was Episode 26: What I Learned as an Airbnb Guest Because of the lack of clarity on this host's description I wanted to do this episode. Look, there are tons of ways to host. From private apartments to share a bedroom, a couch, or house with different guests. It's about transparency. Being clear with your guests is paramount. As a host, you owe it to your guests to be clear on what you do and do not offer. An unwanted surprise can make the difference between 1 star and 5 stars… Plus, a possible negative review. You can't show photos of a kitchen, and then somewhere down in the description say, “Oh yeah, you can't use it”. If you're showing a kitchen, pool, or a backyard, you better be offering it. In this case, you can't advertise a private bedroom and not let the guest know that they're sharing that listing with other people. Not with you, the host. The oddest part of all this was that NOT ONCE during my stay did I see or hear from this host. NOT ONCE! Nonetheless, I did book the space. Yes, I knew what I was doing. Again, I like to experiment, and I wanted to see how they would communicate with me with this type of arrangement. Well, not once did they ever mention they were not on the property or that I'd be with other guests. Once I booked, their email was. “Welcome to our home.” And I was like, “Ok. Thanks.” No disclosure. No transparency. I received an email from Airbnb, letting me know that I was going to get “check-in” information 3 days before arrival. It was a self-check-in house with a keyless door. Well, it was the day before I was about to leave and I still hadn't received any instructions, so I emailed the host. I then received an email saying that they usually share it the same day. Same day? I told them that wasn't what I had received from Airbnb. Thankfully, I had made a screenshot of it, and I shared it. They reluctantly provided the code. I wondered why the hesitancy? A bit bizarre, I confess. Providing your listing information the day your guests are due to arrive is risky… It can also wind up being even more work for you. You don't know your guest itinerary, they might not have wifi… yes, it happens, the horror. or they're busy with packing, flights, last minute items, and a million other things. Most of us want the information where we're staying at least a few days before we depart. I know I do. I want all of that taken care of beforehand. Finally, I arrived at my Airbnb in Dallas at around 9 pm. I was greeted by a dark house. Dark. No lights. Pitch black. Here is a tip for you, my dear hosts. Make sure the front of your house is lit. Motion sensor lights are a good thing. It's common sense and provides a sense of security. Remember, guest sometimes arrive at night and a dark entrance isn't a greeting that says, WELCOME! Plus, trying to figure out codes while handling bags, is a pain. When I finally figured out how to input the code in the dark entrance and opened the front door, there in the living room was one of the other guests… A stranger, really. He didn't say much, as I fumbled with my bag and purse. Once I was inside, he answered my question and told me where my room was, and off I went. I locked my bedroom door behind me, and that was it. And no I didn't place a chair against the door. But I was happy my bedroom door had a lock. I believe there were 5 other people in the house, but I'm not sure. I didn't see them, but I did see 5 bedrooms with 5 signs. I didn't even hear voices. I know, strange. As I mentioned before, my bedroom was clean. I really loved that. They provided towels, hand soap, shampoo, and toilet paper. I had forgotten my soap and amenities. I wanted to go buy some, but I didn't have anyone to ask where I could go. Like I said before, there wasn't a house manual with any information to provide me with the closest convenience store. I'm telling you, a House Manual in times like this are 5-star lifesavers! Yes, I might stop mentioning it…maybe. And then again, maybe not. I could have emailed the hosts, but I didn't get any emails from them before so I figured it would be a waste of time. By the way, not receiving even one email from the host was not the best feeling. My next issue? They used a very strong detergent on the sheets. Like I always mention to your hosts, it's better to use non-scented stuff. Believe me, I was like, “Wow”! But I was there for only two nights, so I held on like a good little trooper. I'm scent sensitive. Other people might not care. Another interesting thing was that I had nightmares. Nothing horrible, but nothing pleasant. I just didn't feel at peace. Maybe because I didn't know who else was in the house. You know, who's there? Are they outside my door? Silly stuff, but maybe not. So, there you have it! That was my inexpensive Dallas House adventure. And the big question is, would I stay there again? Would I recommend it? I don't know. The price was really good, but I just don't know… Maybe. Perhaps. I just don't know, which is not a great endorsement. Austin, Texas Now, let's talk about my stay in Austin, Texas and the sweet, honey baby gorgeous house that my dear friend and “Hot Mic” co-host, Ms. Tammy Sims, gifted me for my birthday. As you may know, I was in San Antonio, Texas, speaking at the Vacation Rental Success Summit this past May, as was Ms. Sims. Well, we decided to escape for 24 hours and go to Austin. A very short trip, but I'll take any time I can get with my dear, ever-traveling friend. We were looking at different places, and she found this wow house in Austin. Tammi overdid it. But hey, that's how she rolls. The house was private with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Just lovely! We walked in, and the scent was…well, welcoming. And as I mentioned earlier I'm scent sensitive but this was perfect, not overwhelming at all. Just a light touch. The temperature was ideal, and they had just a few snacks, with a couple of bottles of water, fancy snacks, ahhh. They had the most luxurious towels and sheets. They were white, plush, and unscented. Just yummy. We had a backyard and were able to hang out for a couple of hours. We loved this house. I felt pampered. And like I said before it was almost my birthday. Thank you, Tammi. Nonetheless, for all its fanciness, they also didn't have a house manual. Come on Texas! We were surprised. I mean, it's those little touches… Anyway, they provided shampoos, soaps, and body lotion. All in small bottles, which I always feel is a waste and not great for the environment. But that's me. There were also a couple of closets where they had their supplies…so I was kind of like, “Hmm, those should be locked.” I can see guests going in and taking all of the fancy water, etc. Overall, an amazing house. Almost perfect. I know, I know. Look am I that hard to please? ‘Come on I was taking notes and photos for you. This is all for you dear hosts. But again, a very different price point. Now the question is, would I stay in this house again? Hello? I would DEFINITELY stay there again. I was sorry we didn't stay longer. I did say, just lovely, right? And not a nightmare in sight. I actually didn't want to leave the bed or the house. Now in all fairness, I didn't select this house, so I didn't see the listing profile, etc., but those were my thoughts from experiencing this house. I don't know what the titles read for this listing, but I hope it mentions everything I just did… Back in Eveland In the meantime back in Eveland and in NY… Of course, during my trip to San Antonio my own home in New York had a leak in the roof, and yes, I had guests. Of course, I did. You listen to my podcast. And every time I leave NY, my house likes to play this silly game of breaking something. I'm working in the Dominican Republic. A Tornado hits NY. I'm in Guatemala. The radiator leaks everywhere. I'm in Los Angeles. The heater stops working, and it's freezing cold. So a leaky roof, I was all, oh please, you're nothing new. I'm expecting an invasion by Martians next time. Since I was traveling and not present, I let my upcoming guests know about the leak in the roof and gave them the option to cancel. I shared the information of my person in NY. I did this because I believe it is important to be transparent with the situation going on in my home. Again, it's all about taking care of your guest. My guests decided to stay and gave me a glowing review. Even though I wasn't there, they knew I was still taking care of them. Like I mention, on episode 33: How to Build and Keep a Team for your Airbnb you need to build a team to make sure your home is taken care of in any kind of emergency, especially if you're not there when catastrophe strikes. Remember, your guests deserve clarity, honesty, and transparency during their own journey. They will thank you, and the rewards will surprise you.

Les and Kathe talk about their AirBNB Experience! Why did they use AirBNB* and why is it a great hotel alternative? Les' brother invited us to watch his team play in the Rose Bowl. It was last minute.  Right after his time won.  We said yes, and immediately started looking for a hotel room.  But, oh no…all of the hotels were fully booked. EVERYTHING was sold out. The nearest available hotel was in Los Angeles, which was WAY to far! We had to find a hotel alternative if we wanted to see our family.  As a lark, I started checking AirBNB as a hotel alternative. I was really nervous because it was our first time in using this service.  We weren't sure what to expect.  Would it be dirty?  Would the owners be lurking around?  What kind of people would let us stay in their spare bedroom? And…Les is VERY private. The first few places I found on the website were whole apartments.  Those looked great!  The bad news was that they were $800.  That's right… $800 for one night.  Ouch!  A bit pricey for us. Finally, after a lot of searching, we decided that it would be OK to stay in someone's spare bedroom. We found a room in someone's house.  It looked cute, like maybe it was built in the 1940s.  And just like the house, the owner seemed cute too. She looked very artsy. But to be honest, it was the fact that she played the harp that sealed the deal for me.  So I submitted my request. We had a great online conversation about harps and she wanted to know who I knew that played the harp. It's funny that I know two people! Our First Stay: We drove to Pasadena and found her house.  We had made arrangements to park in her driveway so we wouldn't get a ticket.  That was another way we saved money…no parking fees!  A hotel would have charged us to park on premise. Once there, we “checked in”.  She wasn't home, but had a combination lock on the back door.  After entering the home, we followed the signs to our room.  Painless. Outside her house was a very cute “library”.  Another thing we never would have seen if we stayed in a hotel that weekend. The first thing we saw inside the room was a small mini-fridge.  two wine glasses and a bottle of wine sat on top of the fridge. Fresh flowers brightened up the corner of the room.  We took a peek inside our mini-fridge and we found almond milk, coconut water, eggs, and blueberries for our breakfast. Our initial observation was that we felt very welcomed and attended to, just like you would feel at your grandma's house! This was a very different experience from a hotel. We met her later that day and she gave us some tips on the Rose Bowl.  We were so glad that she allowed us to stay in her home for a reasonable fee (I think it was around $200 a night.  Still pricey, but not $800!) So now that you know that we were adventurous enough to stay in someone's bedroom, let's talk about the service that allowed us to go that. What is AirBNB? AirBNB* is an American company which operates an online marketplace and hospitality service for people to lease or rent short-term lodging including holiday cottages, apartments, home stays, hostel beds, or hotel rooms, to participate in or facilitate experiences related to tourism such as walking tours, and to make reservations at restaurants. The company does not own any real estate or conduct any tours; it acts as a broker.  They receive a percentage of the cost of each stay.  Like all modern sharing services services, AirBNB* is an example of person to person sharing. This company has over 4 million listings in 65,000 cities and 191 countries and has helped with ...

Friends, foes and IPOs dominated Airbnb news this week.
