Thanks For Visiting

We’re passionate about cleanliness in our short-term rental spaces because we KNOW this is a difference-maker.When we talk with other people about Airbnb, the two topics that come up most often are, one, it didn’t look like the pictures and, two, it wasn’t clean. It’s a little disheartening that this comes up so often because cleanliness is one of the easiest things to achieve in any space!Resources:Learn more at https://thanksforvisiting.me/ Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thanksforvisiting_/  Thanks for Visiting is produced by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:Hosting Business Mastery Method | Join us for our live, free, host masterclass and learn how to OWN your digital real estate!HBMM | Sign up today at hostmasterclass.com.

When you’re operating a short-term rental business, you’re part of the hospitality business. Just like a luxury hotel, the most successful short-term rentals sell their guests more than just a space to stay – they offer unique experiences.This is a lot more work than just providing a space and cleaning it up when your guests are done using it, for sure, but it’s also a way to stand out in a crowded market and make a little bit more money per night.So whether you’re just starting out or well on your way to building a successful short-term rental business, it never hurts to think like a guest and be proactive about offering things that might make staying in your locations a better experience.Resources:Learn more at https://thanksforvisiting.me/Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thanksforvisiting_/Get a free smoke and carbon monoxide detector: https://www.airbnb.com/trust/home-safetyThanks for Visiting is produced by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:Hosting Business Mastery Method | Join us for our live, free, host masterclass and learn how to OWN your digital real estate!HBMM | Sign up today at hostmasterclass.com.

One of the biggest obstacles you might run into when starting an Airbnb is area regulations, and we actually first met at a city council meeting when our city was trying to regulate Airbnb. We think that the sharing economy is (not so slowly) becoming the new normal, but it’s still weird for some people and there might be some pushback.So today we’re going to discuss what kind of market research you need to do to make sure your new Airbnb will be legal, and what you need to know to make sure you position and price your rental appropriately.Resources:Learn more at https://thanksforvisiting.me/Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thanksforvisiting_/Listen to How I Built This: “Airbnb: Joe Gebbia”Thanks for Visiting is produced by Crate Media.
