No it’s free! 🎉

Hey! I think every STR should do this-we have a few units in Austin/Hill Country and we had someone lose power due to a storm last week.

Hey, that’s a great question! Not currently, but I’ve requested this numerous times, similar to AirBNB, on Airbnb you can actually preapproved people with previous five star ratings and require anyone with below a five star to take an additional step. I think it would help the platform

Heard! Haven’t had time to re-record, a lot of the early content I’ve been making I’ve been playing with different formats 🫠 I’ve been a business creator, not a video editor, so pardon my dust as I get better at the craft of video production!

No

Noted! I had that feedback on another video, I think what happens is I can set the volume low, but when the final edit is complete, it mixes different-good note!

Good to know thanks!

Yes, it’s definitely important to only use Turo for communication: Regarding tracking, I know some people that are just throwing apple AirTags somewhere in the car 🤷‍♂️ I guess if it works it works!

It depends on your situation for sure. Without knowing all of your details, I can’t really tell you what I think. Generally you want to insure your vehicle in a way to maximally decrease your risk.

Houston!

that's a great idea! Turo can help cashflow at the beginning, and then move into airBNB.

Thanks T!

Turo has been awesome for us, getaround not so much. I didn’t think about the plus 130K miles issue, that definitely matters!

Yes, let’s interact, when I talk about Airbnb I additionally mean VRBO and really any OTA platform

@@missiondrivenventuresunderstood.. what is ur your experience thus far with the vehicle rentals and Turo? I’ve purchased a few rigs.. looking at heading towards mostly utv renting .. what does ur fleet look like? And how long have you been doing it? I’m sure you might have a vid or 2 already on it.. trying to reinvent myself out of the construction industry and get into a cash flow business..I think the housing market might be a lil iffy for a bit..but I have a few thoughts there I could share with you.. the somewhat undiscovered market as u say ..

At this point, it’s been mostly an experiment that I’m a/b testing. So I’ve only been using one vehicle, it’s an economy vehicle. I will likely be getting a luxury vehicle soon to experiment with that. What I’ve observed, so far is that economy rentals are very stable, but your price point is a bit lower, however, your risk is lower.

@@missiondrivenventures what is ur location? I’m in the central basin of wa state.. kind of a vacation Mecca area .. but there is a small city of approx 80k about 30 miles away.. and approximately 3 hours from 2 major cities of large population..there are only a few Turo vehicles here.. a small airport.. i d like to here about ur vaca rental properties.. I have rented what now is my main house for approximately 4 years during busy months of summer..and another home before that was a vacation property for 4 years.. this last year there was definitely less interest..I listed the property on Vrbo later than normal .. bout mid February. I do believe regulation is creeping up in a sister-in-law county now.. but I think there is something like 1400 properties listed on Vrbo and or air b n b .. so highly swamped..property also got excessively high along with building costs in last 3 ish years.. more or less since the sniffles came along ..I’d say inflation with materials in this area is easily 100 percent..over last 3 years ..likely more.. I know that some markets are always going to be better or suffer less than others.. but I’d steer anyone who is thinking that Vrbo is an easy way or surefire way to make money in a different direction for now.. I think due to interest rate hikes and the current state of the economy this market will suffer big time..inflation is not even close to under control..the 5 percent is not an honest indicator.. more like 15-20 percent.. I don’t like being the bearer of bad news but reality is what it is .. even 6 months ago when I first started planning my new business I kept saying to myself .. no.. things will always be fine..they will continue to kick the can down the road..truth is they can no longer do that without furthering inflation..I’m already planning on changing my direction for the new business model.. and will likely take a bath on some of my original investment.. I’d say error on side of caution or just buckle up thru spring.. pretty sure we will see another rate hike in October and more fake inflation news..

Inflation is definitely real. It’s important for people getting into these things for the first time to understand their actual revenue and costs. I have some free spreadsheets and calculators on my channel for that purpose, I don’t bite on anything less than 16% cash on cash return

That’s actually an amazing question, I’ve read before about that being an issue, but it has not yet been an issue with my car or battery.

Thanks! Blessings :-)

I think it’s good to use a portable device-although a thief is going to find and disable anything they can, but a gps protects you a bit more than nothing at all, and gives you peace of mind about where your car is. Pro Tip: DO NOT tell renters/guests you have GPS.

Hey thanks!
