Don’t Start an Airbnb Arbitrage business before watching this

Before you can get started renting to airbnb, you need a legal document ready and a landlords permission. I go over some of the finer points of negotiating a lease with a landlord and what goes into a lease addendum for airbnb arbitrage in this video.

I started gettin into arbitrage last year, on my third unit, this videos a good introduction, also worth adding to choose your town extremely carefully and pay for air dna, some towns are a waste of time no matter how hard you try. College towns are incredible. Also don’t keep locked in booking rates, check out your competition and bring something to the table they don’t have like a body of water or pool table, and learn what is working from your local contest also 🙌🏼

I think it's time to make it more appealing for potential buyers. Real estate can be quite the rollercoaster! the stress and uncertainty are getting to me.

"Overall, buyers hold a lot of the cards right now, and sellers are having to give out more concessions to close a deal." All the best, buying on sale is actually one of the best ways to invest in stocks, and advisors are ideally suited for such task

Most landlords dont have the time and energy and skills and risk management to handle an airbnb A longterm lease is super low-effort and low-risk since you only have to find 1 family that wants to rent and you're set up for years (plus the house becomes their responsability, they have to clean and do everything and you're just collecting money every month) while for short-term rent you have to find new people daily, clean the house every time, handle the neighbors complaining, handle the damage done by the different people that come, handle your listing's reviews and handle the risk of not finding new people to rent for and losing that money

If so many landlords want to "share the profit" why not just start a business that decorates and runs STR on behalf of lanlords? In exchange for sharing in the profits, the landlord accepts some of the risk by not charging you rent. They're already willing to forgo several months of rent to negotiate a lease agreement so surely they'd be OK with providing a 60-90 day period to show results. The STR manager does all the same things they do with rental arbitrage but they don't have the risk inherent with a long-term lease. It's less risky, easier to scale and, best of all, it's win-win.

No, the rent is going up due to inflation still being a thing, and not nearly enough housing in many areas of the country. More housing equals lower rent. And that is pretty much the only thing that ever lowers it. Airbnb is still a very small percent of the housing market, you can't blame it for high rent. If your area needs lower rent talk to your local officials and ask they give better incentives for real estate developers, investors, and builders to build more. Where I live this would be bad, as rents are stable, we have enough housing and builders are currently backing off. But I live in a smaller town and so far development is very manageable and our city isn't run by idiots....

Oh let’s not forget housekeeping unless you are willing to be the cleaning person. It’s more cons than pros.

@heather2418 Жыл бұрын

@@carymedina2884 1) Cameras in common areas usually solve the lying guest issue, as well as very clear house rules stated multiple times. Once you've established you're a good host it's not in Airbnb's best interest to lose you over a random guest. 2) Airbnb is not the only place you can list your property. Never put all your eggs in one basket, have a presence elsewhere as well even with it's just one or two rentals so you have reviews elsewhere. 3) Anything that makes you money can be a pain in the neck, especially if you own your own business. You get to decide if it's worth it or not. 4) How is finding a good housekeeper hard??? There are so many out there with great reviews that want to work for you and if you have cameras you don't need to worry as much. Honestly housekeeping is the least of my concerns with airbnb. If you get one bad one, fire and move on, there's a billion out there and most do a good job. I'm not saying Airbnb is for everyone but come on. Sounds like you want to just invest in something and not do any work - which is fine. Try the stock market or crypto.
