__________________________
We have set up our fair share of rental properties over the years and it's like half-science, half-art. On one side you've got your budget and logistics and business plan and then you've got the creative side with interior design choices and generally creating a vibe for your property.
The key to a good setup is finding the balance between those two sides, and unfortunately a lot of new hosts get either way too caught up with creating the "vibe" and overlook some important, basic necessities or they get way too caught up on the budget (aka they "penny pinch") and buy cheap.
In this week's video, we've taken the issues we've seen at struggling vacation rental properties and combined them with our own strategies to create a list of 10 common mistakes that we've seen hosts make when setting up their short term rentals. And, if you stick through to the end, we'll also be sharing our number one tip for making sure that your property is set up for success. It's probably not what you think!

My wife and I came across Airbnb as an investment mid 2021. Since then I have been obsessed with Airbnb KZfaq videos and I have to compliment you guys on your channel. The info is fantastic and I truly enjoy your delivery. Im subscribed and looking forward to more videos as we embark on our Airbnb journey later this year. Thanks guys!

I am trying to be as sustainable and USA made focused as possible. My next plan is to share QR codes for all my amenities. One example is sugar/cane made “plastic-wear” for kids Dishes instead of plastic! Dish scrubbies bought on Etsy. Made in America hangers.

Making sure your items are in stock, great point. I was furnishing an AirBnB in Kingman, Az. went to the local Ashley Furniture store, the sales assoc. was very helpful, answered all of our questions, gave us an incredible deal on about $22,000 in furniture, everything was going smooth, UNTIL we went to pay for it. With a big, bright smile, the young lady said, “ok, that will be $21,874 and we can have that delivered, IN 2 1/2 - 3 MONTHS! WTF?!?! They literally had EVERYTHING IN RIGHT THERE! But was going to make me wait 3 months to “have it delivered!” Even the the store manager Tony wouldn’t help. Needless to say, we laughed in their faces, I told Tony he was an idiot. We bought all of our furniture at Mill’s Brothers Furniture in Lake Havasu. Nice people to do business with. We spent about $1100 more there, but everything was in stock and I had it in one week, with NO DELIVERY FEE!

Your last tip…YES! Every choice centered around the guest experience! The clean lines of modern design and the all crisp clean white look of of your decor is perfect for a beachside condo…a city apartment BUT if I decorated like that in our Montana mountain log home it would be ruined and dirty before I finished setting it up. I have real dishes there but my guests eat outside next to river in summer a lot…I have melamine dishes for outdoor use, even though I will not eat on plastic. We are bear country…I provide bear spray even though I don’t go hiking. I make choices for the guests.

Can you do a video on how you “take over” a property? For example, a client decides to hire you as their new property managers after working with another PM company, how do decide if you even want work with the new client, and then how does the transition process usually work and how do you convince the new clients to set up the property to your standards?

Can you guys do a video about dealing with neighbors? We just bought a home for airbnb purpose and currently furnishing it. The neighbors have been so nice and friendly and trying to find a way to tell them without scaring them. Our county allows short term rental for no less than 7 days so I think parties won’t be a problem but again you never know. Would love your advice on this topic

I have the same problem with wrinkled sheets and pillow cases. Because I'm in a hot and humid area I prefer to use cotton sheets as they breathe well, but wrinkle horribly! What helps is not over loading the washer and dryer and removing and folding immediately out of the dryer. I only iron the pillow cases.
@lauriedawes6003
@lauriedawes6003 11 ай бұрын
Try taking the sheets out of the dryer just before they are completely dry and put on the bed immediately, smoothing and stretching out as you go. If they get too dry you can spray with a light mist of water and smooth out. I do this with wrinkled cotton sheets and my linen duvet covers and it works well.

Bed cramming is by far the goofiest thing Ive seen at cheaper airbnbs. Its tacky and uncomfortable and is definitely inviting a party. I would say that no room should have more then two matresses in it. Lets say you have a 3 bedroom house well I would say king bed in master, king/Queen in second bedroom and queen/double Full bed in 3rd room. Twin XL is too small in my opinion for a grown adult man or even teen so having at least one full matress in a 2 bed bedroom is essential!
