In today's episode, Neil poses an important question that's stopping so many from hosting with Airbnb: What Are You Afraid Of? Whether it's the invasion of personal space, concerns about guests, safety issues, potential damages, or self-doubt, Neil discusses the common fears associated with being a host. Through a detailed exploration of each of these fears, Neil provides practical tips and strategies for any host to navigate these challenges effectively. KEY TAKEAWAYS Neil explores common fears of hosting, including invasion of personal space, concerns about guest interactions, safety issues, potential damages, and self-doubt. Establish clear communication and boundaries with guests to prevent personal space invasion and ensure mutual respect for privacy. Use Airbnb's pre-approval feature to review guest profiles and previous reviews to mitigate safety concerns and make informed booking decisions. Understand that accidents may happen, but most guests are respectful and careful in the host's space. Assess potential damages and secure valuable items to minimize risks. Acknowledge fears but don't let them hinder progress. Embrace the fear, take the leap, and pursue hosting opportunities for financial, emotional, and personal growth. BEST MOMENTS "I could never do what you do... I couldn't have strangers in my home." "Your guests can equally be worried about you invading their space too... that nameplate acts like a silent gatekeeper to everyone in the house." "There has only been one requested booking I had where the review was all one star... I didn't accept that booking." "Fear can affect how we feel when false expectations appear real... Success can be scary." "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway... Take the chance and jump. I did." ABOUT THE HOST Neil has led a fulfilled and unconventional life, navigating an extraordinary journey from the Royal Navy to prop-making in London's West End theatres. Born into a military family, it was a twist of fate which led him to the theatre, where he contributed to iconic productions such as Phantom of the Opera. Eventually, Neil transitioned to Corporate Event Team Building, eventually founding his own venture in 1999. Financial challenges in 2017 are what prompted a strategic shift to Airbnb hosting, proving a reliable backup income. By 2021, Neil and his business partner triumphed over significant debt, fuelled by their resilience and the success of Neil's Airbnb venture. Now, Neil has left the corporate world behind, thriving solely through his flourishing Airbnb endeavours.

Zoey discovered her passion for financial freedom in college. After college she took this passion for financial independence to allow herself to become debt free by 22, create a large savings account, and invest wisely. Today, she teaches others to do the same through coaching, creating educational content on TikTok, and working one-on-one with clients. On this episode we have an open and honest conversation about money. After college it can become confusing to determine what to do with the new found money you are making in your adult job. There is a lot thrown at you from student loan payments, negotiating salaries, 401k's and more. Zoey helps break down the basics of getting started with your finances after college. We also discuss how to have open conversations with your friends about money and why it can be helpful. In addition to paying off debt and building a savings Zoey shares with us some of the ways you might be able to invest your money. One of the ways Zoey likes to invest is through Airbnb. Zoey and her boyfriend own two Airbnb properties where they are able to earn extra income through. On the episode Zoey gives us the scoop on what it's like to own an Airbnb, some of the pros and cons, and what you can do today to get involved in Airbnb. This episode was very helpful, informative, and left us excited to tackle our money goals!

Watch on YouTube.com: https://youtu.be/nE3x90Ij6d0. How do you get into the short term rental game? Learn how with your special guest, Kirt Forakis. Want to have a nightly rental, a coveted Airbnb, or a VRBO? Here's how you get into one. Find out how to evaluate an Airbnb. Does it have the "Convenience Factor"? Will your city shut you down? Will your HOA take protection money to operate a nightly rental? And just what will you have to do to a place to get it ready for nightly rental? 0:58 - How Kirt got into nightly rentals — there's better return on investment (ROI) than long-term landlording. 2:25 - There's two types of nightly rentals...no three: 1) Room share; 2) Owner-occupied room share; 3) Stand alone nightly rental 3:10 - Mostly, getting started means talking to a lender. For traditional room share and owner-occupied room share, it's a normal "owner-occupied" loan — they're not income property loans (investment loans). If it's a stand along investment property or a legal multi-unit property, the rules change. 4:25 - How to find the property. The biggest thing is the "Convenience Factor". Treat it like a hotel. Be close to the freeway / attractions / etc. Be close to a grocery store — people want to use the kitchen! Restaurants are key as well. 5:40 - What about regulation? CC&Rs and HOA rules can KILL nightly rentals. Know before you buy! HOAs can also change their rules after you've spent all this cash to set up your short term rental. HOAs can be good as well - they'll keep the neighborhood looking good. There are also HOA resorts for Airbnb. 8:01 - This is a business, treat it like one. Use a business plan. Be calculated in how you approach the deal. Assess your risk and reward. 8:45 - Comparing properties, i.e. crunching the numbers. Use Airbnb's site. Break it down by square footage and rate - you'll get a range of what short term rentals go for in the area. Work backward from the numbers, and build in some padding for unknowns. 9:40 - Start a little lower to make yourself attractive, and keep the property rented. Down time is lost revenue. You're hunting reviews. 10:08 - Do a business plan. It will save your bacon. 10:40 - You need to be engaged and communicative. Customer service goes a long ways. Property managers can charge a lot more for nightly rentals. 11:30 - Making your house into a good short-term rental. Start with a remodel (you'd do this on a long-term rental as well). Make it durable. Furnish an decor is next. Amenities should be included. Think games, subscriptions, etc. Parking. Convenience = $$. Have an answer before they ask, and you'll make dollars. 13:45 - Reviews are everything. We'll talk more about this next week. 14:01 - What'd we learn? *No long-term rentals were harmed in the filming of this real estate discussion. Please contact us to tell us you love us, you want to hire us! Call or text: We want to thank our guest, Kirt Forakis. He's a local business owner and friend.

Vacation Home Masters - Best Practices for Management, Ownership & Renting
Airbnb is a great platform and can book homes and create revenue. Setting up is relatively simple and the platform can generate revenue no problem. The devil as always is in the details.We look at what you need to be aware of before you start working with the platform and what can be done to overcome these problems. Use Airbnb, but go in with your eyes wide open and the problems as a host that exist and try to manage the problems before they hit you and it is too late.Some items you may want to make sure you are aware of:-Damage Insurance is included in guests' stay by AirBNB. Why is this a problem? A guest has no incentive to look after your home other than a bad review, figure the damage insurance will take care of any damages.The claim process needs to be immediate and well documented with costs. It is a tedious process to claim for damages. You have to go through a technical dispute process and often you can be ruled against. Brings us to point 2-The solution there is no real solution to this as this is an AirBNB rule. -Damage deposits not automatically collected - should require a min of $150 per bedroom should be automatic and managed by AIRBNB. What do we mean? If the guest has in escrow $450 of their money for damages the way they treat your home will be vastly different. They may repair any minor damages and be extra clean, careful and respectful of the property. Damage insurance provides zero incentive, especially if the guest is not even fully aware of it. -The solution being put a damage deposit in your terms and conditions and make sure you manage the process. Again, check AIrBNBs rules on this as some accounts they do not allow you to collect damages deposits at all. All, of course, must strictly be done through the Airbnb platform. -Fake profiles - People can book with nothing more than an email and phone number. We think Airbnb should require 2 government forms of ID minimum, as well as at least 1 verified SS media profile or a third government ID for every guest. This, of course, would cut the number of users, but would dramatically alleviate bad or fake guests. You can set this, but you filter out a lot of guests. Airbnb should require this, but they will lose the people that don't want to. -The solution, once the guest has booked request a copy of their driver's license and verify it matches the name on the reservation. You can require a complete profile for any guest to be able to book your home (but will reduce the number of bookings. -Bad guests hard to spot. If a guest damages a home they get a bad review they can create a new profile in minutes. A host can not do this as easily as they may have other reviews. It is lopsided to the guest. Airbnb recently announced they are verifying all homes. Homes may soon be inspected and document verified with either a proof of ownership, lease or management agreement by hosts. But so should people making the reservations.-Solution - GUests with no reviews or bad reviews, make sure the guest has at least a government IDs and some for refundable damage deposit as allowed through Airbnb for your particular account. -Airbnb often sides with guests - Example - AirBNB gives full refunds for hurricanes, even if they do not directly affect the home area in question. No questions asked, even at the last minute !00% is the host loss. Totally unfair to the host. Why not offer travel insurance for these very reasons? This helps protect the guest, Airbnb and the host.Solution - There is no real solution to this other than ask AirBNB to change the policy for canceling due to weather etc to protect the host. Limited protection for hosts in scams. The newest scam is the guest to say there are cameras at home. They immediately refund guests and remove host no questions asked and no possibility to prove the claim is fraudulent. -Solution - Document, document, document and quickly send through the Airbnb platform. -No travel insurance openly offered for individual cases by case reservations - needs to be pushed. Cancel due to weather, sickness. See point Five. This should be offered aggressively to guests to protect the hosts and guests alike. And explain to the guest why they need it.Solution - you can sell this as an extra if you are permitted to offer by your stateLimited response to threats on refunds and negative reviews. If a guest threatens a bad review if they want to check out early and get a refund, it is very difficult to get Airbnb to remove said negative review once it has been done. It should be removed unless the guest can prove otherwise, not the other way round. Protect the host and the guest. And vice versa.-Solution - Document through AirBNB pannel and contact Airbnb immediately. -Limited analytical data - competitive pricing analysis unless use a paid service. Tools should now be included for free with the service. We have seen pricing companies charging as much as 5% or rental income for pricing tools. Crazy. Other platforms now have this built-in and although not yet perfect, getting better. -Solution - Use that offered by competing platforms (VRBO) or subscribe to one of the new services. A quick google search and you will see several-Younger demographic lower price point. Origins based on hipsters traveling and getting a room in a shared space. Quickly moved into whole-home hosting for $$$ VRBO. This mindset is different from traditional platforms with older more experienced travelers such as VRBO or Expedia (now the same company).-Solution use multiple platformsIt does not have built-in automation for taking care of bookings and other companies have started this. Have to go to third party vendors that do this. Surely AirBNB is now big enough to offer this which will provide better experiences for guests and hosts alike as standard. Solution - Quick google search there are paid automation services.

In Episode #15, we discuss AirBnbs, and the benefits and drawbacks of using your investment property for Airbnb only, rather than tenanting the property. Andrew specifically walks through an example of the "sleep test" where, if you are struggling to get to sleep because you're worried about whether there will be bookings, then Airbnb is probably not a good option for you. We also discuss that while Airbnb can produce better cashflow returns than a standard tenant, it does come with higher costs and more uncertainty, which some investors may not be willing to accept.

Have you ever wanted to become an Airbnb host, but you didn’t know where to start? Laura Coleman at Family Money Coaching talks with Saffron, an active duty service member, about her side hustle renting out rooms in her house. Saffron shares some tips for increasing your booking chances, how to protect yourself as a homeowner, and how multiple sources of income can really turbo-charge your goals. Is your home in a great location for Airbnb? Saffron explains that capitalizing on popular local events are a great way to ease your way into Airbnb hosting. These are events that bring in a lot of traffic like: Local sporting events National parks Iron Man The Paralympics Traveling doctors or nurses or interns Political conventions Nearby universities with international students Airbnb Amenities: how to guarantee return guests and great reviews Saffron talks about the preparation work that will make your Airbnb stand out. Make your home look like you’re going to sell it, and remember the little treats like snacks, drinks, and smaller scale shampoos and soaps. Many of these soap items can be purchased in bulk from Amazon. Providing your kitchen for your guests’ use is a huge amenity. How do you protect yourself as a homeowner? Saffron suggests that you ask guests about themselves. Find out what they’re doing and where they’re going and the more forthcoming they are, the more you can trust that they’re legit. People who can instant book are frequent guests on Airbnb. Don’t be afraid of the renters and trust the system that’s in place to protect you. Put boundaries in place by making your cancellation policy aggressive, choosing your schedule carefully, and looking at renters’ recommendations from other people. When is it time to create your own Airbnb business? If you rent for 14 days or less, you don’t count as a business. But if you’re ready to take your Airbnb hosting to the next level, be sure to file the right paperwork so that your tax bill doesn’t take you by surprise. What are some mistakes you made for saving up for adoption and fertility? Saffron encourages listeners to contribute the max to their HSA because you’ll never know when you need it for health problems. She recommends that couples adopting or going through fertility use multiple sources of income so that they can more confidently achieve their goal. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/laura-coleman/support

We've been using Airbnb with kids since 2013, and today I'll tell you some of my tips on how to use Airbnb for families. Airbnb for Families — How to Use Airbnb with Kids There's lots of information out there on how to use Airbnb, but most of it is for couples and single travelers or the Airbnb hosts themselves. In this week's episode, I want to talk about how to use Airbnb with kids. There's a lot of opportunities on Airbnb for families, but it helps to follow a few rules to get the most out of the service. ::: Like what you’re hearing? Then please subscribe, rate & review Epic Education Radio. We would be extremely grateful! iTunes is a search engine as well, and so when you rate and review us, you help others find us. Thank you! ::: I've written an extensive post on getting the most out of Airbnb, but how to use Airbnb with kids is still one of the most common questions I get from readers and listeners. That's why this week I decided to make an audio version of some of my main tips on how to use Airbnb for families. Read All Our AirBnB Tips Here Airbnb with Kids / Airbnb for Families One of the first things I discuss in the show is our experience with Airbnb. We've been using Airbnb with kids since 2013 and have had great experiences using Airbnb in multiple countries, including: Japan Spain Malaysia Indonesia, and Mexico I discuss some of the benefits that Airbnb for families has over a hotel. These include savings and more "at-home" feeling. Some people are concerned about safety with Airbnb, but I think that if you know how to use Airbnb properly, then you are able to find the right places to stay. Tips: How to Use Airbnb with Kids I try to run through some of my best advice for using Airbnb in this episode. Almost all of this Airbnb advice can help anyone, but some of it is specifically designed to help families learn how to use Airbnb to their advantage. I break down my Airbnb tips into three main categories: Search: How to Use Airbnb Contacting the Host: How to Use Airbnb Final Research and Double-Check: Contacting the Host Search: How to Use Airbnb When you use Airbnb for the first time, it's important to play with the search functions to see what your options are. Search Broad Remember to keep your search broad at first. Don't refine your search so specific that some perfectly good accommodation is filtered out. If a kitchen is required, then go ahead and click that box, but try to leave some options open. For example: Beds vs Bedrooms: You may need three places to sleep, but sometimes one bedroom may have two beds, or there may be a sofa bed. You can save more money using Airbnb with kids by choosing this way. Internet, Wifi & Laptop-friendly workspace: Some Airbnb hosts only check one of these boxes, even though all three may apply. Fiddle with each one to see if you get different results. In this podcast, I give a few more examples that work well when using Airbnb for families. Contacting the Host: How to Use Airbnb This is a very important part of how to use Airbnb for families or anyone else. Airbnb isn't like a hotel, where you just click a button to book a room. Sometimes it's important to contact the host and introduce yourself first. That way, you can ask for specific details about the accommodation and possibly ask for a discount. Three specific details I ask for are: Confirmation of internet speed (both download *AND* upload speeds) Availability of two sets of keys (Keiko and I both want our own set) Ask for the address of the accommodation (Airbnb doesn't provide — host may or may not offer) Specific details on appliances and amenities (Does the stove work? Are there clothes hangars in the closets?, etc) I'm sure that that last one may seem bizarre to some of you, but we had some early Airbnb experiences that made us wish we had asked earlier. Final Research & Double-Check: How to Use Airbnb For this final step in Airbnb for families, I suggest going over your shortlist of Airbnb choices and then doing a little final research before making your decision. A few things we check before booking: Proximity to good things (supermarkets, public transport, etc) Proximity to smelly and/or noisy places (wet markets, churches/temples/mosque, karaoke bars, etc) Host's familiarity with long-term stays (when applicable) Conclusion: Airbnb with Kids This is just some of the advice I'd give to traveling families considering Airbnb as part of their travel plans. We've certainly found it a rewarding experience. Do you have other Airbnb tips to share? Tell us about them in the comments.

Buying a home? Click here to search all homes for saleSelling a home? Click here to get a FREE home value reportYou can use Airbnb to make money off a property that you already own—even while you’re living there. I had two interesting conversations this week about Airbnb. The first was with a client who had bought a home a few years ago. Until recently, he had a roommate the whole time. When I talked to him, he wasn’t sure if he wanted another roommate or if he wanted to live on his own. He said, “I wish I could have a part-time roommate.” I said, “Why don’t you do an Airbnb?” He wasn’t sure, so I ran his address through our rent analyzer. We entered some information about the property, which has two bedrooms and one bathroom. If he rents out one bedroom on Airbnb, he could make $31,000 a year. “Airbnb is a great way to make money off the property you are currently living in. ”Another client had a property in West Philadelphia. He didn’t own the home he was talking about, so I entered my own address into the rent analyzer to give him an idea. We could rent out two bedrooms but for some reason, in the center of Philadelphia, one bedroom makes more money than two. I guess there is not enough demand for two bedrooms on Airbnb. In any case, we would only need to rent the property 38% of the time to make about $34,000 a year. So, there are different ways to make money with real estate. If you already own real estate, you don’t have to go out and buy another property, which is what a lot of people end up doing. You can become a real estate investor by using the property you already own and renting out a room on Airbnb. If you have any other questions about Airbnb or Philadelphia real estate, just give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
