10 biggest mistake host make: - [ ] Taking cell phone photos (pro photos) - [ ] Bad listing copy (read well) - [ ] Not responding quick enough (guestly) - [ ] Not automating (messaging, cleaning schedule, leaving reviews, pricing) - [ ] Offering discounts - [ ] Going cheap on furniture - [ ] Letting a bad review ruin your week - [ ] Not networking with other hosts - [ ] Canceling reservations - [ ] Splurging on the wrong things ($24 for 6 towels at Costco)

Our airbnb went live September 1st, and I’ve learned so much in the past few months. I’ve leveraged information from tons of KZbin channels, but appreciate all the advice you shared throughout your airbnb journey. Your advice has helped with decision making, strategy, and resolving guest issues. Big hugs, as your channel has helped our airbnb succeed! Thank you! P.S. The guests we’ve gone above and beyond for always leave the weakest ratings, or reviews!! We learned the hard way.

Good advice on not vibing with the negative groups that only rant. I just had a guest that took my pool towels to the beach and forgot them there. He told me about it and bought me new towels. The majority of guests are thoughtful. For them, we host!

Definitely important to remain positive! Remember some guests have bad experiences too with the listings that they go to. One guest of mine broke a beautiful glass of mine that was on a floating shelf labeled off limits to guests (I have an entire credenza of beautiful crystal glasses and plates they can use), and I was pretty upset that they used a glass from that shelf, but it was a young guy who apologized profusely, paid for several new glasses and wrote I'm sorry with a smiley face on my reversible sequin pillow on the day he left. 🙂 Little things happen, you have to learn to roll with the punches

Zoom in and out. Don’t post a lot of pictures just to post a lot of pictures; only post your best. Resize if it improves the pic, get a good photo editor.

Agree with everything you suggested except the cheap bed thing. As a frequent Airbnb guest and in the process of becoming a host myself, comfortable beds are a must. I will not reserve a property with any negative comment about bed comfort. Our last stay in Lake Havasu had AMAZING beds. Everyone in my whole family was talking about the bed comfort. You’re on vacay and want a good night’s sleep 😉 I’m not saying you gotta drop $5k on a Tempurpedic, but something middle of the road with a double mattress protector will last years before it needs replacing. Kids rooms you can afford to go a little cheaper, but the master bedroom should absolutely have a comfy bed. JM2C :)

Disagree about splurging depending on what you're optimizing for... quantity vs quality. And not sure why the hyperbole about how you're going to replace the sheets/towels every 2 months. Maybe that is the case if you get cheap linens. And you get the double whammy of having to replace them all the time and they feel cheap. We rotate between 3 sets of high quality/durable sheets & towels. One of our STRs has retired 3 sets of sheets and towels in 5 years.

Hey Rob, would you give us your opinion of Sean Rakidzich's AirBNB strategy where he uses his LLC to lease properties on an annual basis and then (with permission from the owner) rents them out on AirBNB for a much higher, short term amount and makes money on the arbitrage. He touts the benefit of not having to own the properties. I am sure that there are risks and downsides he is not talking about. I am wondering what you think those risks and downsides are?
@michaelking53732 жыл бұрын

I am from Los Angeles myself. Also the money I do have to invest in myself but I’m not sure if it’s the smartest move for a beginner because how will I be so sure that I will get booked What if I do end up losing money because I don’t get booked often .

Out of curiosity how often are you having to replace mattresses in your rentals and are you using memory foam mattresses (ie. Casper, etc. Assuming so if recommending buying from Amazon, etc.)? I'm curious as while I'm not an Airbnb host currently (although I own multiple properties), I'm a frequent Airbnb guest. I can say how comfortable beds are is one of the top ways we judge a stay. Although we typically don't ding a host for it in the public reviews . We'll mention it privately. But how comfortable the beds are is a top one for me. So I'm curious if you are going with cheaper mattresses... A) how comfortable are they and B) how often are they having to be replaced?

Agreed. Do not offer discounts - exactly for the reasons you discussed. These are good tips overall, so sorry you are unaware of how insulting you actually are.

Actually wrong on the photo concept. As a photographer with a high megapixel camera phone you can create great pictures. It’s not the phone it’s the artist behind the phone.
