THESE things will make you more money on Airbnb

[@truthByFire]

I propose you start a new segment called "Robviously" that talks about these kind of business hacks that are working for you

[@sean4060]

READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO HOST: I host 20 listings. It can be good one however It’s one of the most stressful businesses you will have. Guests can be savages. Here are all important negatives to consider: 1) guests want to throw parties and trash your place / piss off neighbours 2) guests are sooo DEMANDING! You will get requests for the tiniest things. And things you never even heard of before. Even if my house has 150 various items, I have guests who will always manage to find new things I need to get. FML! Rather than complimenting me on the fact that my house has WAY more items and amenities than a hotel or other places of lodging, they will focus on the negative Think of it this way. If my house has 97 items but it’s missing 3 items. On an exam, that would be a 97% score which is amazing. Nope, not if you’re an Airbnb host. That would get you dinged in the review 3) guests leaving critical Reviews. Not nice when someone you let into their how give total power over you and your future business by writing you a crappy review 4) constant upkeep, communication and handholding required. Common sense is not so common these days. 5) guests who are passive aggressive. They will leave snarky comments and you really have to bite your tongue so as to not reply in a similar tone. Over time , this will eat your soul. 6) guests complain about things out of your control. Such as frequency of city garbage collection There’s many more but I’m tired

[@williamdunlop8191]

Amen neighbors will hate you Airbnb favors guests not hosts, After all the numerous expenses true profit is minimal iT is very time consuming and competetion is really insane now Too many people thinking they can make a quick buck please do your homework not just by watching these vids that are here to make a buck off you and get more subscribers and views Good luck

[@Lisa_LaCroix]

When I host on Airbnb I find that front loading a lot of niceties and friendliness mitigate a lot of this. When you front load warmth and build a relationship early people are much less likely to leave negative use and a lot more likely to cut some slack if there are challenges.

We stayed in a vacation rental that seemed amazing and had a kitchen (a requirement for us). All was good until we realized there were no potholders and no kitchen towels. We had food in the oven and no way to pull it out safely without using the bath towels (yeesh) or our own clothing (sad trombone). The property manager told us where the nearest Walgreens was located so we could get our own. If you offer a kitchen, make sure that it is outfitted with the basics.

We are clean people and would have cleaned it after every meal but if the owner doesn’t care why should I. I refuse to shop for windex to clean a rental when I’m on vacation.

We have great pots/pans and a really nice knife set in our airbnb (although watching this made me think that I ought to sharpen them more often!), along with nice flat wear, an insulated electric kettle (prevents burns with contact to the outside of the pot), a decent blender, toaster, etc. People comment on how much they love our kitchen equipment and REALLY love it when they're here in summer and can basically harvest all their fresh herbs and produce from our organic veggie garden for their meals. We also use high quality mattress protectors, great mattresses, AND great pillows, sheets, bedding & towels BTW. These need to be really nice too, and they wear out over time, so replace them already! Nothing worse than tacky worn out sheets, towels and linens on the beds...eew, why? We also provide two NICE sets of pillows in each bedroom, one set firm and the other set much softer. Don't you hate staying someplace where you feel like your neck is at a 90 degree angle because the pillows are all gigantic and hard (when you like a pretty thin, flat pillow) OR you're sleeping on a thin flabby dead pillow when you like one of those big fat firm ones? I do, and it makes all the difference in my nights sleep AND whether I wake up with a crick in my neck or not. And there are also those who just like to have pillows, pillows and more pillows, so they're happy with two sets too. Defo going to invest in a smart lock though, which we don't yet have and which means we basically have to be there to let guests in. Been investigating those and appreciate your referral of the Schlage brand as I was stymied on which to choose. And lastly, I appreciate the coaching about the Ring doorbell and PMS. Don't have either of these either (only one unit at the minute), and since we are planning to get more units up and running it's a good time to start using a PMS AND those doorbells on all of them. Thanks!

Airbnb used to award a special “ Superhost” status to those who provided such extras and, though they still do, I’ve stayed in some places recently which were awarded Superhost but provided nothing more than coffee (and no real sugar, or two packets, no creamer).... so disappointing. One whose guests raved about fresh eggs, jams, etc had only bottled water. I’m a pastry gal and was hoping. You are a rare one these days!

Question about the extra people: our property is on a septic/well system and those are permitted for the number of bedrooms with 2 people per bedroom. One nearby county even has a occupancy requirement to not go above the "septic capableable" occupancy. If there are more people using water- showering, cooking, etc they can even drain the well in some situations. How do you handle the extra guests in this case? When the max occupancy isn't an arbitrary number "just because".

With you on all of these, the only place I differ a bit is I’ve become allergic to smart deadbolts for two reasons. #1 I’ve stayed several places where the deadbolt kept jamming which is an unfortunately common problem. Pretty rare for the normal lock to jam up so I go smart knob over smart deadbolt #2 privacy. I stayed in a unit in FL where the mgmt company screwed up and added codes and sent check in instructions to my family and another family in the same house. This family just wonders in while I was sitting on the couch at like 10pm and both parties were shocked/confused. And it was a smart deadbolt with a non locking knob. If it was a smart knob and dumb deadbolt I’d have the ability to have piece of mind that I’m reasonably safe from someone walking in.

[@ScottStephenSmith]

The smart locks need to be installed correctly without a bunch of wiggle on the door latch. That's the source of the problem

If you buy stainless pots (I love viking) and cast iron, I would love you. I have those in my place.

I also agree about basic utility items like potholders and dishtowels. I stayed in a place that was pretty pricey, and they did not even have salt and pepper, and they had exactly 2 pots and a stainless frying pan (which is the suckiest version of a fry pan in existence.) It was an expensive place, and I was truly annoyed. but my #1 thing I personally want in an air bnb... it is decent coffee, but you should provide me with HALF AND HALF. Not dry creamer.

Thank you! I have been in a rut, my cabin rents out constantly and I'm a super host. But honestly I know the cabin now having been rented for like 7 years needs attention, I've struggled to determine what areas would be the most important for my guests. I charge the least in my area, and really should charge more, but need to make it worth the extra charge. Your list of things was encouraging, as I have been doing most of what you suggested. I knew I needed to upgrade the mattresses, but can't do that in the winter due to snow packed roads, and deep snow on the property. So I appreciate your suggestions for the kinds to get. I also like the pots, pans and knives suggestion, as well as the coffee upgrade. I have been lucky to have guests look past a few things, but the wear and tear is catching up, and the rave reviews I was getting are getting pretty flat, and I'm getting more pickiness. This has confirmed what I need to focus on. I need to get the camera as well, but I do worry that I will get too nosy and frustrated by what I see. I think maybe I should just have a camera on the driveway, so I can see the snow depths, the moose and wildlife that come, and if the guests brought the right vehicle for the snow. I think I will somehow include that if I get a camera, I will say somehow in the listing to be sure to put in the right amount of guests as, the camera is a tattle tale. Thank you sooo much, very helpful! It's what I needed.

I also like that they allow you to create a sharable link for viewing reservation calendar without details you don't necessarily want public like booking value.

Yes, please on the PMS software. How would you suggest overcoming local regulations that require an "in person" check in process. Big Bear Lake, which I've been thinking about for an investment STR, recently changed their regulations and now require someone to meet the guests at the property when they check in and I believe have the guest sign-off on some document. Would you pay a local to represent you? I could see some serious potential problems and so wonder how you might approach this? Also, when you are looking at other locations for your next STR, do you use AirDNA or Mashvisor as part of the research? Thanks!

I have just started watching your videos a couple of weeks ago. I love your content and your sense of humor. I feel it makes you very approachable. I already signed up for a call with someone on your team about your coaching program.

Magic Spoon has a great list of ingredients, high protein and low sugar. Nice! But too much sodium.
