    Hey Rob, Love your videos. Serious question though: are you worried about an oversaturation problem happening in the near-term future. Let's say everybody's trying to get into this Airbnb game. You got double the supply but the demand stays the same. Do you ever fear that this could drastically harm your profitability in the future?
    Could make for a great video 😏

      I think most people are too afraid to even ask for the amendment to a lease. That combined with actually being good at picking good properties and finding good locations/ managing the cleanup and marketing game make it not so easy to get into as people think.

      If you really think about it, everyone could own an Airbnb because people would vacation at each other's place. But the reality is the percentage of the population that would even seriously consider this, let alone follow through, is insanely low. Risk aversion is widespread.

      You only need 10% down for a second home but if you're smart you would buy every property as your primary residence and only pay 3.5% - 5% down. All you have to do is start your LLC and retitle every property into your business AFTER purchasing.

    I'm starting with a place I own outright, so the largest expenses will be remodeling and furnishing. In fact, I am thinking of getting a home equity line to finance those expenses. I have done a lot of planning, but need to do a lot more. I need more time to work on it. Since I work remotely I may move out of my current place out of state into the planned rental so I can live here rent free while I am working on it.

    • @tweetiebird
      @tweetiebird 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In my experience, rentals are considered by lenders more of a risk and vacation rentals sparactic income are not viewed as reliable income either as in showing a steady long term rental lease and monthly income to qualify for loans. I suspect this man has a lot of capital to begin with and mutiple mortgages is a house of cards!

  • @RichardSilvius
    @RichardSilvius 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Home prices in the US are a lot higher than they were pre-pandemic. What would you say to someone who's interested in starting, but concerned that the much higher cost of home buying (relative to people who bought pre-pandemic) would potentially make it really hard to compete with larger houses in better areas? When trying to calculate the mortgage, utilities and management fees (for those who need that) it looks like the price per night would be too high and not many people would want to stay there.

      Yeah I came to the same conclusion, houses have become priced as if investors are buying them - for everyone. This has led to most properties cash flowing 0 dollars, or near enough to not be worth it. It really seems to be certain areas that are popular and making money...

      Those are my thoughts, you could leave it and totally disregard this..

    and want to add some cabins and put them on air BnB for short-term rental
    but keep hearing I cant. but I live in property so don't see why not. need some expert help.
    I am in parker county in texas west of fort worth, the county is an open zoning area, and no permits are needed
    FHA rules say only can be rental after living in the property for longer than a year then you can rent it but longer than 30 days no short term rental allowed but I guess that's for a primary residence
    it's not clear for adu and I am still living on the property.

    My Airbnb property that netted $72,000 last year cost $220,000 and cost about $10k to start in down payment and set up. This guy has a very high end thing going on. I’m building a tiny house on the same 5 acre property which in the end is gonna cost me about 16 K mostly because I had very expensive electric and septic set up which will probably net about 50 K. Then I’ll build another tiny house for about 10 K because I won’t have to worry about the electric in the septic because it’s already done and all and I’ll be able to pull about 150,000 a year out of the property for a mortgage that’s 1300 including tax and insurance. Don’t let these rich appearing guys scare you out of trying.
    And I say appearing because who knows what’s really going on. If he’s making so much money with his airbnb why is he running this weird host camp bullshit.

    Is this 20% minimum COC based on what occupancy level? 100%? 80%? Thanks!

      Yes, coc is based off occupancy level and also daily rates. You can always adjust your daily rates for higher coc. Hope this helps!
