AirBNB Owners Now CUTTING PRICES BY 50%!

It's one of those things you have to see to believe but low and behold, we have AirBNB owners slashing their prices by 50% and the units are still vacant! This will spell disaster for the housing market soon if these operators cannot make a profit. You say we don't have a enough inventory on the market? Just wait until these short term rental operators are forced to sell or rent long term.

Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.

@MichaelBordenaro I think this is the 1920s repeating... I think we are repeating the 1920s crash. See..its exactly the same as today.. "Several factors contributed to the 1920s housing boom and bust. Rising incomes and improved credit availability led to more people buying homes, which drove up prices. At the same time, speculation played a role as investors and construction companies began buying properties intending to sell them at a profit. This created a self-reinforcing cycle in which prices continued to rise. Eventually, however, the housing market reached a point where demand could no longer keep pace with prices, leading to a sharp decline in values. This led to widespread mortgage defaults and a wave of foreclosures, exacerbating the problem and causing the housing market to collapse. The stock market crash of 1929 then sent the country into a Depression". The "1920s prices reached their highest level in the third quarter of 1929 before falling by 67% at the end of 1932".

If I could just mention a few things. Being a former New Yorker before moving to Florida as you know we have snowy winters in the mountains that attract skiers from all over. A friend of a friend has an air BNB an he does very well for ski season, say November to at least early April ( there is machine made snow too). He is constantly booked and these people pay top dollar. Back to what you were saying Michael about air BNB’S now, will the same hold this winter?🤔 Whenever we traveled, we used motels. We were only there to sleep and shower or use or camper when we had it. In the future when we travel to NY, friends have offered for us to stay with them. Obviously I insist they take some compensation for allowing us to stay and taking us places including airport. You were mentioning Micheal Zillow? Have you ever checked out Trulia and Movoto? I think they list more information on the property for sale than Zilliow. I think I’m right on this one. We have no plans on going back to NY unless something drastic happens and we have no choice. But I do browse listings in my old area to see what properties are selling for. Thanks Michael for valuable information on this topic. 👍

[@RealLifeFinance]

The other crazy thing is Movoto seems to show many more houses available. I find that weird

[@gc-l.a.6024]

Thanks! Your insight and honesty is appreciated.

[@Lisithedogwalker]

Thank you for your generosity and to supporting his channel!🙏 ❤

[@MichaelBordenaro]

My pleasure, thanks for the super!

[@robertaturk]

Remember the days when Airbnb was about staying in someone’s home! It was as terrific - got to know the locals and the culture and wonderful places to go. Like an extended family. The adventure and fun is gone - just 4 walls.

[@yumikumi2]

Back then there were long term rentals being turned into Airbnbs left and right, now those same Airbnbs are slowly being turned back into long term rentals. Guess this event is going full circle.

[@23Gino]

Hi Michael, excellent videos. You are saving a lot people financially! 👍 Love your stories and talk about other people’s Stories. Love your OG style good advise.

[@23Gino]

Fire truck is 100% right. I will not get into driverless vehicles! I still trust humans more than machines because God created humans and humans created machines! 😊

[@lovethemflowers]

Wow, Michael! Happy to see how close you are to 100,000 subscribers! Waiting for that big day!

[@moneymatt9880]

they put the $25 on there so if one goes missing they charge you.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yep

[@DiddyKatt]

😂

[@grlfromtx09]

noticed airbnbs (superhost) were pricer (after cleaning fees etc) then nice hotels as well! we only do airbnb if something nice is significantly less but we’ve been opting for nicer hotels.

[@tommorningstar6373]

The whole famdamily did a large Air BnB a while back. It ws a house and was very nice. Skip San Francisco entirely... cover the stories from a safe distance. Dig the Krazy Listings. Love the Blue Dumper in Miami. It looks like a setting for an episode of "Cops". "Kill Your Television" (got the t shirt). Go Sailing! This is a beautiful time to do an afternoon dinner sail on a really nice big maxi. There is no better water than the Bay. It is sailing Nirvana. Agree on the driverless taxi: I'd rather hoof it than rely on some robot. Dude. Go sailing. You'll love it.

Digital license plates can flash different messages. They can display amber alerts or your car can be tracked if it gets stolen. But they also can get “hacked” and your your personal information could get stolen.

[@cy6060]

On Airbnb, I always contact the host first and say I will rent it for a low ball offer like 30 to 40 percent off and a lot of times they do it because it will be vacant otherwise.

[@jimshoe402]

My Docs $10m I can get for Free if not rented 🥰🥰🥰

[@mikesrandomvideos]

Tiburon is really beautiful. Lizzy looks so happy to be walking with you. So nice and cool.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

It is beautiful here. So glad she can take some time off and enjoy the area and the weather before going back to work in Miami.

[@mikesrandomvideos]

in the heat yea. I have been to both areas. worked all over north bay and Miami area....and many other places. .@@MichaelBordenaro

[@silvermaiden77]

HI Mike. sorry i have not posted comments for a while. Wrapped up in Maui thing. I was airbnb operator in LA and i have a good tale to tell but will do it later.

[@irfaankalamadeen9823]

Yup... same here in Florida.. Im getting 2 to 4 bedroom beach listings for $100 to $120 per night that were previously listed over $300

[@carl9901]

in a lot of counties it's no longer legal. If you see just a handful in a whole city it just means a few people were able to skirt the system. Monthly discounts or weekly discounts are typical, that's why it's significantly slashed when you hit that 30-day mark.

[@koffee3336]

Great vid with S. Walters, Airbnb owners not using research, data or basic human emotions with their ridiculous prices and inflexibility have done it to themselves. "I'm just gonna open an app and go into debt to become rich" Trying to rent in Europe was crazy b/c of them but now balance is being restored! And they now have to get rid of property they never should've owned at a massive loss.

[@ColdPotato]

One thing I liked about them was being able to stay in somewhat remote areas. But in hindsight I see it doing more harm than good. It results in construction in remote areas for housing that is not used for living, but purely commercial. It then drives up prices raising taxes on people living in such areas that don't make a lot. It actually causes gentrification in remote/rural areas.

[@alabamashagreen2106]

Great Info, keep it up!

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Thanks!

[@junebarnett7350]

Love your videos and both of you. Thank you for your content.

[@junebarnett7350]

Sounds great can you give out the name to book it. Thanks.

[@gregspeth7910]

I bet a hotel would discount for a 30 night stay

[@ag4allgood]

Nice to see Lizzy again while you walk. Air BNB places - never stayed at one but then I really don't travel that much. The home owners doing this must have a low Profit Margin right now. With property taxes going up all over that alone would eat into any extra Profits. No thank you. Renters are not going to be careful in your property either so if you make them put a security deposit down too - your really narrowing your Business clients down.

[@deowahju]

There are many way to invest in real estate, If you bought in a great location. My multifamily is rented out for traveling nurses, a single family house is rent out by the room to Immigrant families. Airbnb is only a small part, most of them are switching to medium-term rentals/ extended stays

[@TheTurdballs420]

I remember the good old days when you could steal all the hotel soaps and sometimes even the towel’s! Make hotels great again!!

[@hvaball150]

The digital license plate is so you can put the driver's number up when they are using their fraction of the car ownership. Welcome to the future. Just preparing for shared $200k cars.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Haha yeah probably

[@vladimirgarcia6309]

I really enjoy your Channel! 👏

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Really happy to hear that!

[@dennislewis6097]

Digital plate - automatic renewal. Pay renewal fee online and plate's expiration year is automatically changed, rather than waiting in the mail or at a counter for a sticker to put on your tag.

[@mishe4789]

Omg you guys got married!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Congrats, love you two.

[@Lisithedogwalker]

Thank you!💜☺️

[@TheSpatulaCity]

The LCD license plates have been around for a few years. I started seeing them in 2019 and it's basically a flex for wealthy type people. As far as I understand, they cost about $800. They tout that the display can change on demand and display STOLEN, KIDNAPPED or any other emergency message across the LCD screen.

[@Lion_McLionhead]

The price cuts don't use real starting prices. They just double the asking price & draw a line through it.

[@k8schmate]

Regarding taking the tiny hotel shampoo and conditioner bottles home for $25 a pop: the hotel knows that people are not crazy enough to willingly do this; they understand that Americans for years have operated under the assumption that those are free amenities, we’ve been tossing those in our luggage for decades - they posted a sign about the price they are hoping (betting) guests won’t read, which covers them legally, enabling them to bill people for any missing bottles after checkout.

[@lakelvp]

I've been traveling around California and the west this year and finding lots of empty units. Owners are willing to negotiate on weekly rates. I spent a week in Berkeley, CA and offered $500 for a week and had many takers for furnished apartments and ultimately got a small house for less. Airbnbust seems quite real.

[@brianjohnson9473]

You are doing a great job. I. Don't look at the TV news anymore they just lie.

[@F4URGranted]

I moved to SF last year, just make sure that you dont show ANYTHING in your windows. Thatll make it much more likely that you stay safe, i havent been broken into yet and i got my car new

[@Mauricio_EPM]

Nice Info. Regards from Europe. I hope this arrive here too, ASAP, because the LTR pricing is crazy.

[@PhuongMalkin]

In Reno, no more permit issued for short term rental.

[@billfunk3168]

Pretty area Michael !

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Sure is!

[@irockhard2538]

With a digital license plate the system could put out warrants on you through your plate😮

[@allaboutthegyro]

I am seeing anywhere between $500 to $1000 reductions in Pigeon Forge for September.

[@mymydelilah]

@allaboutthegyro...I used to go to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg every summer. w/my family... had fun watching d Dolly Parton Stampede show... memories of yesterday 🌹

[@GlenisRetiredNZ]

You generally get a discount if you're booking for longer. So it might show the day rate x 30 days as being full price and then the 1 month discounted rate.

[@tropicaljays]

Yes! That's exactly what it is doing! It's showing that by doing a booking of more than 30 nights, your nightly rate is about 50% lower than if you were paying the short-stay nightly rate. Also, 30+ day bookings are NOT refundable.

[@marilynh5487]

First time listening. Love ❤️ it.

[@1Skeptik1]

Michael is correct, the Air BnB market on my turf is saturated. I own a clean and renovated 2/2/1 with a fenced yard about 1 mile from the beach in Hudson FL. I gave the STR business a 4-month trial run and quit. After paying the insurance, taxes, utilities, fees, and cleaning I was no better off than a LTR. Fortunately, I have strong hands (my house is paid for) and the support can be a hassle. 80% of my guests were great, 10% found something to complain about and 10% were looking for a free ride. It was an interesting adventure and an education. At the moment I have a Visiting Nurse and family there for a 16-week stay. They are nice kids and good tenants. But I plan to go back to LTR when they vacate. For what it is worth?
