Moving the couch was a great idea. 3 things, the sofa no longer is a barrier to the window. You have a view out the window from the sofa instead of looking a an oven an fume hood. Third the new arrangement creates an entry foyer.

[@pinezzzka968]

Exactly my thoughts. Sofa repositioning immediately has created the fuctional zones in a still open plan concept.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

Yeah I like the new layout since it doesn't block the windows.

[@-Anjel]

also with the sofa there you can lounge and watch tv more comfortably

[@notconvincedgranny6573]

And you can see the TV without getting a cramp in your neck and shoulders.

[@lisser7]

Yes, I hate having seating that isn’t realistic to how the space will be used. I want the comfortable furniture facing the TV.

Man Airbnbs hidden fees are terrible! If they continue trying to blindside the consumer with these ungodly hidden cleaning fees they're going to push people to use hotels instead. I was about to book a place for the weekend at 108 a night and it was going to cost me around 400 to stay two nights! Insane dude. Hotels aren't dead yet.

[@devonblaine]

Hidden cleaning fees?

[@Joe-nx7nj]

No, thats the price it costs to clean up after some of these animals. If people were nice enough to leave a place in reasonable condition then cleaning companies wouldn't charge the hosts so much.

[@donowtube]

@@Joe-nx7nj if that's the attitude you have about the people you're hosting for you shouldn't be in this business. Have you ever stayed in a real bed and breakfast? The hospitality is unrivaled. Its a genuinely awesome experience with another human being that's there to serve you.

[@Joe-nx7nj]

@@donowtube i treat my guests amazing, but yes, some are absolute animals. This isn't abed snd breakfast.... well some are, however, it is someones home. Treat it with respect. Would you leave dirty dishes in a b and b, not pick up after your dog on the lawn, leave smelling bags of trash in the house, contaminate a hot tub, take books, towels? This is why cleaning fees are so high. While most guests are decent there's the few that ruin it for all.

[@donowtube]

@@devonblaine Yeah, if you're looking for a place to stay Airbnb doesn't show you the total you'll pay per night. If they did the prices on their map would be horrifically high. On top of that hosts want you to do your own dishes, take out the trash, put used laundry in a certain place. If I'm paying a $200 cleaning fee, I shouldn't have to be doing any of that. If you stay at a hotel you moat likely get a complimentary breakfast, room service comes in and makes the bed and puts out fresh folded towels and wipes things down everyday. And for the most part what you see on hotel websites is what you pay. It's honest and upfront advertising. I've used Airbnb for years, traveling throughout Europe, the U.K. and elsewhere. It hasn't always been like this. This deceptive advertising practice is going to hurt them.

[@Whoever68]

A problem with Air BNB is that when homes are rented out short term it takes away that property being available to people in need of a permanent rental. People like nurses, teachers, emergency service workers, and any other necessary workers in a community have fewer properties to rent. Eventually those communities start to suffer worker shortages. Return on Air BNB really only benefits the owners to a large degree.

[@OfftoShambala]

There is a balance.

[@Whoever68]

@@OfftoShambala not when property owners know they can earn much more on short term rentals. It happened in Byron Bay in New South Wales. Essential workers can’t find permanent housing to rent and are having to move further out making travelling to work untenable. Rentals that are available are over priced for low to medium wage earners. Where is the balance?

[@ducnguyen-iv9px]

There are whole bunches of hotels or motels where you can rent for weeks or months. The companies will pay the rent for the workers as long as they’ll finish the jobs.

[@alvarox786]

It drives the prices up and not everyone is filthy rich with money to burn. People don't understand it's like the average price of a non designer purse. Everything has an average price but now the price of any home is ridiculous.

[@Robuilt]

Hey Rob Mob! Wanted to quickly clarify: I said we were charging $150-$300 a night. I misspoke. I was charging that rate for Casa Conejo just down the road. I got my tiny houses mixed up. CLASSIC ROB AM I RIGHT? We were charging $250-$475/night and had a few high ticket holiday bookings in the $800+/night arena. The point is: The current owners are making way more money than me lol.

[@migueldepedro4467]

Note the listing only has 8 reviews and a 4.63 star rating. Our place is right nearby and i can honestly say the reason all their upcoming dates are blocked out isnt because it is popular, and those dates are booked, it is because they have been building a pool and doing other upgrades and it won’t be ready until October, they are building a pool because it wasn’t booking period. zero discredit to you or what you made, it's a great house, there is just no actual track record of it actually renting for decent money at any time since you sold it for top dollar which was definitely a good call IMHO. The super high rates they are asking upon reopening are for a pool property and even then it is doubtful they will get them since there are so many pool properties now. So the current owners are just going further in the expense hole doing upgrades while not actually making any money. You were smart for keeping it less tricked out and charging a good rate, as the idea that it will get their inflated asking price even with the pool and other extras is unlikely.

[@gonesurfn]

@@migueldepedro4467 Exactly! Having been in this game for over 25 years I can say, Rob is not as smart as he thinks he is, he just had great (lucky) timing! Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley is crashing hard!

[@migueldepedro4467]

@@gonesurfn good timing can be good smarts! I didn't mean to imply that rob or anyone else isn't smart, but it simply has to be noted that pouring lots of money into a property that isn't doing well at the same time so many other properties are pouring lots of money into properties that aren't doing well is more of a sign of weakness then a sign of strength. I do agree with you about the crashing hard:)

[@feinty5561]

+1 to what Miguel said. It wasn’t booking at all for avanstay’s inflated prices and now they are adding a pool, but the idea that it can stay booked at $800/night is crazy. They are also adding the pool right next to and facing the busiest heavily trafficked road in all of Joshua Tree which is a little insane.

They will feel the consequences when they are forced to sell at half the price they bought it for in a year.

[@LucentCrystalBeauty]

I understand, obviously you want to make the most money you can but having lesser priced listings help average people like me book amazing trips. When you find gems like that and then try to book them again a year later and you see they have almost doubled (or more) in price it breaks your heart. I take a vacation every two years because that’s how long it takes me to save and recover from my previous trip. Not everyone can afford $1,200 a night. Saying all that just know Rob you may not have made as much as you could have but you gave a lot of people great memories. Now before anyone goes off on me talking about this is about making money… I completely understand that part. I’m just expressing my POV. ✌🏽

[@tammyrussell-rice5508]

Rob, I can empathsize. In my case, my husband and I SOLD our primary residence at a $500,000 loss in 2018. Buyer (after making some changes to the interior) turned around and sold it for a $2M profit in 2022! As they say, timing is everything.

[@shenalimendis5357]

Where was your home located?

Not timing, tastes. You are your husband might have had personal touches or things you liked that didn't go in conjunction w the market. (Interest rates being almost 0 also helped w the market SKYROCKETING)

[@Mrs.L.44]

I liked “A” because of the lighter colors. You seem very saucy over the changes. Like you said, people have different taste and they added a lot of extras outside. Your work was beautiful.💜

[@owenvic]

I think the sofa is better by the door instead of against the windows because you get a better view and overall more light coming in. Also having it by the door sections off the living room space creating a rectangle which is more visual appealing. You did a great job with your set up too though!

[@bkfromtherockies]

Welp, you definitely have proof that your designs and short term rental business is successful since folks are seriously biting your style. Keep up the great work and push your courses, if you have any. 👍🏿 BK

[@Richiedei50]

I prefer version A. tbh as the people on the sofa can see out of the window and more light comes in the whole room. You did a fantastic job in general though.

[@nolwenndenis6512]

B is better, the couch was blocking the view/window and you had the shade close which felt less open.

[@davidfavela5275]

Why did you sell it??!?!!. I always thought that selling it was a mistake. That was a no no for me, even for 700k. The beautiful design of it makes it gold. The fact that somebody is trying to copy your design it's a great thing. Take it as a compliment.

[@MaLiArtworks186]

I would have said $1 million.

[@sergioojeda8291]

Question! Do you pay yourself a management fee for every one of these STR you start? Or do the returns you get not include your fees? For example, if you pay yourself $1,500/hr and it takes 5 hours a week of work X 9 weeks to launch it, that’s ~ $70k.

[@ripptydevibes2581]

[@shae1967]

I only stayed at an Airbnb once it was nice however, I was a little pissed that I was charged an additional $150 at the last minute ( sitting in the driveway of the Airbnb with family in tow) before I was given the key code to get into the house.

Were you early? Just curious

[@eddiemalvin]

Repeat after me: Never... Sell... Good... Properties... If you're selling to address a need (i.e. free up capital for another project, free up time, reduce stress, etc.), there's always another solution that doesn't involve selling.

I prefer A (cool design space with white sofa) so that you can see the outside from sofa though B (homey, practical) does give more open space -- both nice. Fence made the space private.

[@fallen546]

Rob did you buy the 47 acres in Warren or Page county? I'm planning to do something similar, and it seems like agritourism is a loophole to allow glamping by right. Both countries allow agritourism.

"Just list it". Friend or not, your realtor saw the listing as an opportunity to make 10's of thousands in commissions. Once you approve the listing they will do everything they can to close the sale. Essentially, once listed you are compelled to sell if offered full price.

Proceed to explain your reasons, pay them for their work (and coffee) and retain the property. You are now better armed for the future and didn't have to screw anyone over in the process.

PSA: If you're stuck on disability and living in a dump, this will make you cry. A lot. Especially around the 5 minute mark, for about a minute and a half. Personally, I like the couch position for the view and entry separation but I hate what they did with the bedroom. The hot tub needs to be either sunk or decked in for that kind of money and I would have preferred a cocktail pool rather than a hot tub in the desert; I don't care how cold it gets at night. There is enough seating outside where you don't need to clutter up the driveway as well. There are some things I would keep but ultimately, I preferred your design choices. I loved the Kate Spade teapot! I would have traded my left boob for that. The artichokes I think are there because they're a desert vegetable (fruit?).

@@f.m.1808 hopeing for some constructive feedback, funny though, happy for any response. Typically a classic bed and breakfast is between 4 and 11 rooms in a private family home. I like the tiny house concept, and am looking for direct input on it compaired to classic b&b style. Thanks for your patience, im old.

800 a night , let’s see how long that lasts , once the are is saturated & more competition, will decrease the rates , imo

I think it's awesome that everyone is doing so well on the property you built. By selling your property for $400k profit, your 1031 exchange allowed you to redeploy additional capital faster! Increasing the velocity of your capital will improve your profitability in the long run.

Just found you, and I love listening to you. And I enjoy your humour.

A looks wayyyy more warm and cozy. Well done! The whole place was designed with great taste. P.s. Don’t be bitter 😂

As an interior designer I can confirm their external updates are fab but their internal updates are sad 🙃

[@eldonpalmer3894]

Looking at those photos, I'm thinking they are simply sky replacements, not actual golden hour photos. Particularly because the "sunbathing" photo is not at the same time and I doubt they had a photographere there twice. (plus, they just look like sky replacements....do you really get those puffy clouds there in the desert? I know, totally random comments from a real estate agent and photographer. I would also not be surprised if they rearranged the plan simply for the photography and added a few staging/merchandising items that may not actually stay in the property (guitar). Just a couple pennies worth of comments...maybe a nickel's worth. Cheers on the sale and vid....I sense your pain though. ;-)

i think you made a beautiful home, it's really nice to look at, by the way your living room layout is way better, way more open, I choose B. For.....roB. question about the Airbnb shopping list, how much did it cost in total?

[@calliegirl2086]

Definitely A for the right look but B looks more comfy.

[@sandrahodges9596]

I vote A. I love your house! Great job! 😊
