Hell yeah

[@NicksFort]

If you are serious about getting into Airbnb watch this start to finish (like I did!). Super super helpful to get me started on the hunt. - Rob you might consider doing live streams of you breaking down properties like you did in this video. I think that might save you time in production and be super useful to your audience.

[@Crumpdog]

agreed!

[@choppnutts]

Is the monthly mortgage payment accounted for in the cal? Does operating profit minus the mortgage?

[@douglasbailey9055]

what if you have a home that is paid for. 5 bedroom 3 bath pool. indoor theater with stepped seating with 8 recliner theater seating.

[@TheGreenNewSteal2025]

We’re in the planning stage of putting a couple of small Airbnb’s on our farm and while the real estate game is not new to us, the rental game is and I very much appreciate the depth of knowledge that you share on your videos. I listen carefully to your caution of common pitfalls and love hearing about your successes. To me, the voice of experience is the most valuable teacher, so thanks for taking the time to share.

[@guitarbeast87]

Definitely want more videos like this, I’m currently at rock bottom in my life and I need a way out of it. Your videos have been giving me hope on Turing my life around and achieving financial freedom!

[@elizuhowell]

Hang in there friend. You can grow and change and climb back out to build the life you want!

[@dawn5358]

Great video, I learnt a lot! I bought a similar property in that exact neighborhood you analyzed. I am the kind of person who would go into analysis paralysis. I bought this property since my analysis worked. But, I missed one thing. My viewings were done remotely, I did not do enough research of the town, the neighborhood, the people, and how day to day life feels like there. Turned out that the particular community has a bad rep, huge, and some part even crime-ridden, and regulars to the Poconos stay away from this community. I understand one can do a lot of things right to get above your competition, but I am just trying to say that you need to feel the place and learn beyond your number crunching of the place before you buy.

[@burrleywurley]

I’m looking in this area also - can you share what the community is? I’m scared I may be in contract within this same community you’re referencing 😳 is it by Lake Carobeth?

[@dawn5358]

@@burrleywurley I thought I replied to you but I didn't. Yes, my property is in that community you are referring to. But if you seem to be in main section, which is better.

[@jmthompson7050]

Rob, yes we want more analytics!!!! Thank you.😀

[@JohnThePA]

I grew up in the Poconos. I was browsing real estate and stumbled on the same house you analyzed lol.. never underestimate the power of NJ and NYC folks coming to northeast PA to to enjoy some nature and get away from city and sprawl.

[@stephenparenteau5467]

Since your asking for things we would like to see more of I would be interested in how a partnership would work for buying and running a Airbnb. Do you purchase the property in both your names or does one person put the property in their name? What's the best way to setup who has what responsibilities and a good way to make sure everything is being taken care of and the property is running smoothly?

[@BiggCope]

37:27 - I have contacted AirDNA through chat before to ask if the cleaning fees were built into the Annual Revenue calculation. I was told by the responder that the cleaning fees ARE NOT included in the Annual Revenue number from the Rentalizer. However, I do check the FAQs and it's shows under Annual Revenue LTM (Native & USD) that the cleaning fees ARE included.

[@BiggCope]

Them telling me that it was not included has been jacking up my calculations!! This was a few months ago too.

[@perlaargyle9343]

Don't the guests pay for the cleaning fees anyway ? Is that why they aren't included ?

[@vickievictor5924]

Thanks for this! Please continue to make more analysis videos. I've loved how you advocate for self-managing our properties. I completely agree that the fees property managers charge are typically too high - especially considering most of them are using the same tools you've mentioned to automate the business anyway. Video request: It would be great if you can touch on how you find your team on the ground (i.e. cleaners, repair, and contractors) for the market, if it's a new market for you. Also, how much has finding a team on the ground in the market impacted your decision to invest or not (i.e. will you buy the house and hope you find good people or do you invest after finding the people you would need)? Thanks so much for all the great info you've provided!

[@jamesusmanov4864]

Just a note on the second home mortgage loans... Please check with your lenders on the additional fees that have been implemented on any second home or vacation home loans. I believe it is now a percentage of the total purchase price. So depending on the home that you buy you might be paying an additional 10 to $20,000 just to qualify for that loan. I could be wrong but please check with your lenders to make sure. And also if I'm not mistaken, second home loans are now being treated as investment loans so the interest rate is a bit higher than primary residence loans. Again, please double check with your lenders.

[@TheSavvyCouple]

I say we show Rob we LOVED this video and have him make another just like this. Hit the thumbs up on this comment to make it happen!

[@kylecrook5794]

What's a realistic airbnb vacancy rate in short term rentals 25 percent of the year?

[@CJEvers]

What percentage of the properties that you purchase come from the MLS? My investor friends tell me that (in this market), by the time the property hits the MLS 20 investors have passed on it and there’s not enough margin in it.

[@chris-cy5ed]

Not enough margin for their money but that dont mean not enough for you remember big corps have big overhead you dont as a single person with a property or two foreal!!

[@Reidkelly]

Rob, this is awesome. Making it a series is a great idea.

I've asked this before but I don't recall an answer. What kind of 2nd home or investment loans are you asking for that only require 10% downpayment?

[@holliewatts1215]

I'm in this neck of the woods. There are some big draws to the Tobyhanna area like Great Wolf Lodge, Kalahari water Park, a yearly NASCAR race, and winter seasonal skiing. That may explain some of the odd booking cycles.

[@brianbuscemi4576]

amazing video, really appreciate the deep dive... I continue to be perplexed by how you know whether a host is blocking days out on air bnb or they are truly booked.... how can I base my projections on the air bnb calendar if there is no way to actually know?

Why are cleaning fees a line item for deduction? Aren't these passed to the guest? So essentially a zero item?

I just asked the same thing! Very curious

[@sonyagrohowski5655]

make it a series pls! very helpful, thank you!

[@joserlopez1]

Thank you for the video. How do Airdna knows if a calendar is booked by the owner for personal use or by a customer that is actully renting the property?

[@Goin-feral]

I always wonder this too - I look at the availability calendars on similar listings and some have months and months blocked out solid...seems unrealistic that they are booked that much if not listed as "rare"

[@michelleobrien6996]

when you see that the calendar is booked, how do you know if it is booked by paying holiday makers vs booked by the property owner for their own use?

[@takingstock163]

19:40 those ARE professional photos, just not very good, needs a white balance and contrast tweak.

[@raymondli9612]

Great video! But how you gonna deal with the HOA? Doesn’t HOA means NO for short term rentals?

[@luischacon9440]

[@learnwithme1041]

[@sergiuluca3714]

Rob can you please make a video on how you hold your properties (LLC vs your own name). Can you do 10% down and hold it in an LLC? Thank you for the great content!

[@irmafranke1012]

Yes, yes. Good idea for a video!

[@sendingyoulovefrom6231]

yes yes yes please do this!!

[@raymondli9612]

For a new llc, the short answer is no, as loan for llc is based on llc’s cash flow and income, the rates are higher as well usually.

[@matthewanderson4772]

LLC has to show income to qualify for a loan under the LLC. However, you can buy under the guise of a second home and only put 10% down. If your intention is a rental / investment property (Non Owner occupied) typically you need to put 25-30% down If the LLC doesn’t generate income prior to applying to for the loan than it will be difficult to get approved. Just my experience… I bought as a 2nd home under my name and put just 10% down and then down the road turned it into an airbnb. Then setup an LLC for liability

[@sendingyoulovefrom6231]

I would still be very interested to know the legal structure of renting a part of your house out, buying a second home and then converting to Airbnb, all that. Maybe need a lawyer co-host for something like that though

[@John-dg1zf]

Did you confirm that the hoa allows overnight rentals? 100k for a sub 300k property seems too good to be true.

[@raymondli9612]

I have the same question, HOA stands for no short term rentals in my dictionary

[@zanelong8508]

[@cheguazu]

[@thehammah8039]

I bought a vacation home in vegas that I want to do strs starting in jul when the new state law goes into effect. In the mean time I can only rent for 31 days or more. Airdna doesnt have any way to analyze income on monthly basis instead of daily. How would you account for this? My model was basically I go to vegas a lot each year and if I can make money instead of paying 15k a yr on hotel then I am good.

[@ali61049]

Hi, my city actully charges up to 12% from short term rentals, so I am just wondering where would you add that on your calculator, or it was already subtracted by AIRDNA website annual revenue section?

I own a 4 plex half a mile from Sofi stadium in Inglewood, Ca. Should I Airbnb all 4 units or rent 2 units out out to long term renters? 3 units are 2 bedroom/ 1 bath and one 3 bedroom/ 2 bath. I can get about $210 per night for the 2 bedroom and $300 for the 3 bedroom. I don’t know what to do!

[@stephaniegoettner705]

@@todddildine1338 maybe for hosts who choose to include cleaning fees in their rates? I feel like that’s not super common though.

I'm also a bit confused about how cleaning fees are calculated. They seem to be calculated as an expense, which I suppose would make sense from a tax perspective, but his calculator doesn't seem to account for the fact that renters cover that cost.

Hello sir, is now the worst time to invest in property since interest rates are rising?? Thx

[@HomeDesign_Austin]

Rob, great vid as usual. Question: looks like the Airbb market has shifted in recent years, it can work better with a 30 day min to stay under local Gov radar..is that how you can develop your partnerships without the need to homestead (I say that given most jurisdictions want to see the homeowner either on site or have homestead) ?? Is 30 day model profitable generally?

[@Husstler]

AirDNA prices are kinda crazy all over the place... It's probably fair to say it *Starts* at $40 per month per zip code. Depending on the number of listings in that market though, that could go up to $100 per month. Then the unlimited plan that gets you everything is $1000 per month. There is a 40% discount if you pay for a year at a time though...

[@mannyv.8791]

Ever use the Price Labs Dashboards instead of AirDNA? How do they compare in your opinion?
