This is one of my favorite videos of yours so far. Thank you for being so transparent and showing the entire side of the business. So valuable! This is incredibly useful when looking to scale.

I have been following your channel for a while now man. It would be really great if you could show us a diagram of your system so we could have a concrete basis for setting up an automated system. Great content as always tho. Keep up it Up!

[@david80779]

the cleaner management is not possible now with new ICal rules as all information disappear... Would you share how you solve it ;-)! thanks for all quality content!

[@yeseniasplace]

wow, this is awesome when you say we have 30 properties in 2018 ... now you are pushing 200 in 2022 AWESOME

Kind of wild right!?

To share calendar, do they need gmail email?

[@andreabacchin8610]

Thank you very much for all this great content 🙏 I don’t wanna sound stupid but here’s the question: Who does give the key of the unit to the cleaning team? Do they have a copy of the key, which could be dangerous, or do I have to give them the key every time they need to clean it up?

[@AirbnbAutomated]

You’ll have a hand off protocol between the guest and cleaners usually

[@andreabacchin8610]

Airbnb Automated Thank you for your time!! I really like how you got in this sorta of hospitality business with Airbnb, Thanks again and don’t drink too much coffee!!haha Do you provide any course or programs where people like me can learn from you?

[@glenn7721]

I have prepared well to co-host/property manage. I have my credentials, my insurance. I watch youtube videos about 3 to 4 hours a day. I read everything I can get my hands on. I just can't find an owner who needs management. How do I find them? Also, I have a lot of addresses of owners that may need it. Is there a letter template that I could use to send to these owners?

[@eddytejano6454]

My city(Vancouver,B.C.) doesn't allow airbnb if you're not the primary resident of the unit/property. I really want to get in to Airbnb business. My plan is to list the owners as co-host on every listings so I can still legally operate and rent their properties with out breaking the bylaws and manage them like its my own properties. Question, is this been done before? I'm not really sure If this works. Does anyone doing what I'm planning? Any advise is much appreciated.

[@sandrineml9864]

Hey Sean! Thanks for the great help. One question tho.. Is there any way that our cleaners can also see how many guests are checking in? Cheers!

[@HealingMoments7]

I haven’t use Google calendars. Shawn what do you mean Google calendar and sandbox it by the city with unique email?

[@marvinreynolds9765]

Absolutely fantastic video. But one question though, how do you get the google calendar format to show the details of the guest and not the URL of the Airbnb reservation? Thank you

[@jharleya1]

I’m wondering the same thing. Did you ever figure it out?

[@MaxxDives]

@@jharleya1 Have you figured this out? I am now having the same issue. I've spent so much time researching this. Seems like it should be such a simple thing to do.

[@jharleya1]

[@kimberlyholland9296]

Thanks! You’re the bestest.

[@jeffreyho5445]

Hello Sean I'd like to ask where do you target your break even point (how many days do you target to recover your monthly costs)? I remember you mentioned it at one of your videos but cannot find it. Thank you so much!

[@AirbnbAutomated]

10 days is the goal!

[@halawyeyaytakesnaydqsn12]

Super! Thanks :)

[@ocontabilistadigital]

Thanks for the excellent tips.

[@markpelshak604]

Sean, I see this video is 4 years old. Do you still use the Google Calendar functionality with your cleaners? I tried to set it up today and I'm not able to get the same formatting that you show. Thnx!

[@AirbnbAutomated]

I’ve moved on to taking their view away and assigning cleanings

[@ArneJohanssonMpls]

Great video! Do you have any videos on what you do for laundry cleaning? Like how many bed linen/towel sets do you buy for each unit? Do you just have the cleaners do the laundry in the unit or do you hire a laundry service?

[@AirbnbAutomated]

yes sir. In a 2 part video series kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWK7knRumJKaj9U

I’m trying use the cleaning strategy and share my outlook calendar with my cleaners email address. But for some reason outlook won’t allow me to share this calendar. So I tried creating a gmail and I can seem to find the feature there either. Is there something I’m missing?

[@ivancastano6896]

Your 'citadel' or system mainframe must be kept safe at all times. I hope hackers are not sniffing at these admin accounts. I wonder how secure Bnb's back-end system is!?

Hello I am taking over 3 airbnb's how to I contract this and be able to control the account and payouts

[@cassiamarques2155]

Hi there.. have you launched the Cohost course? How can I get info on how to become one? Where can I connect with hosts? I am very much interested in taking a course to help me start my business. A reply would be very much appreciate.

[@hannahbader4869]

Do you have a contract template that could be used for a home owner and host who will be handling all details of the listing?

[@HealingMoments7]

Yes I have been looking for this too.

[@TMMGamerTV]

Hey Sean ! If i want to rent lets say an apartment in Belize and im working from Germany How can i manage everything that someone can handle the whole check in cleaning stuff? Thank you in advance!

[@erliqiao9762]

Hi Sean, great info! Does the ical auto update the airbnb calendar on google for you? Mine doesn't seem to work. I have to manually import again for changes or updates.

[@AirbnbAutomated]

The iCal does not do it in real-time. But it is operable

[@angelynaa4385]

What’s the whole deal with the new TEAM option?

[@gobblifire107]

I watch a ton of your video's and I'm trying to find an answer and cannot find it anywhere and hoping you can help. Can I create an airbnb account as a Host and manage other people's properties? I did create one and my first listing is my parents home and I just got my first few bookings but Airbnb sent me a tax form to fill out. Although I'm the "host" the payout goes to my parents not me. I will not be getting paid within Airbnb ever. I'd like to have just one profile and have multiple listings that are not my properties. Is this possible without getting a 1099 from Airbnb for all the account income? I sure hope to hear from you.

[@AirbnbAutomated]

You should oblige them, just in case you ever get paid. Your 1099 will be $0 and if it’s under $600 companies typically won’t send one because they’re not required. Good question

[@dreamingcode]

How could you possibly make a profit paying everyone vs just renting out to a tenant? Plus isn't this earned income which is taxed differently from passive income?

[@AirbnbAutomated]

Yes it is taxed differently. But there some really aggressive write offs in this business which is great. If a property generates 4000 a month with $700 a month additional expenses that’s still $3300 a month. And those numbers are typical for a 2 bedroom. So there’s usually $1200 extra profit above what rent would be

[@dreamingcode]

@@AirbnbAutomated ok thanks!

[@WorldWideAmbient]

You spelled tutorial, "tutotial" in your title. Might be good to change it for better SEO

[@AirbnbAutomated]

Thanks! You’re the first to catch it

[@WorldWideAmbient]

You're welcome. I have been viewing many of your videos, and they are quite inspirational. I have yet to even take the leap into a first leased airbnb apartment, but within a year I should be ready. I currently have a job working abroad but would like to come back to the states and do this. I hope your course is up and running by that time.

[@AirbnbAutomated]

I will try not to let you down

[@LotusCreek]

Do property management companies still make you fill out lease applications even though you inform them upfront that you’re corporate housing provider? They still make me fill them out... any thoughts/advice on this?

[@AirbnbAutomated]

They do. Stand operating procedure

[@dustovshio]

so when you say "make you fill out the lease application" do you mean put your personal info on the lease, or physically fill out out and put the llc on it? Because if your personal info is on the lease can they not legally still evict you if you do STR?

[@AirbnbAutomated]

You will fill out your LLC info on the lease. Then you likely will declare yourself as the initial occupant. That will require you applying and doing a criminal only screening

[@dustovshio]

I went and talked to a place and they charge $10 for the background checks so that is not only is that expensive but it is going to turn off some of your customers if they have to fill out all that stuff. So do you basically 1. just ignore that and hope they don't find out. 2. or just do it part of the time. 3 Do it every time? 4. Move on to a different apartment.

[@myminiaturearcade6303]

I don't understand the numbers you use. Looking near Disneyland CA. I see Airbnb for $50-80 a night with a $18 cleaning fee. Where do you get a $150 cleaning fee, seems unrealistic.

[@AirbnbAutomated]

Some people list of $150 cleaning fee for larger homes. That is not my recommendation though. Search as a group of eight traveling near Disneyland and tell me what you find

[@myminiaturearcade6303]

@@AirbnbAutomated Oh I see, I see. If I got a 3 bed 2 bath house and rented out each room separately, what would you pay for a single room cleaning, which I suppose would include bathroom cleaning and tidy up the kitchen, dining and livingroom

[@teddy_flips]

When bringing on a new client the management fee route (instead of rental arbitrage), do you make an Airbnb account under their name --> co-host with my LLC's Airbnb page --> invoice the client with your tool(or can you do it through Airbnb?) Or just add a listing on my LLC's Airbnb account and then let them co-host so they can see whats going on? Sorry for all the Questions! I appreciate the time. -Ted
