Always love how open you are about everything that you do, Shelby! It's like I'm learning from your wins and losses, and it's awesome because you're teaching me what NOT to do if I want to be successful in life. That includes what you've done with your TH-cam channel and how far you've come.
For cheap pool heating: I highly recommend that you get a bubble pool cover. It's literally like a huge sheet of bubble wrap that you can cut to the shape of your pool. Pretty cheap, maybe a couple hundred bucks, and it can raise the temp of the pool by nearly 15-20 degrees just from the sun! I was shocked at how well it worked! We now have passive solar heating for the pool, but the bubble wrap def works, super easy on and off, no maintenance and free heat from the sun.
Could you expalin me about pool heating? Wouldn’t I be needed for colder months ? Like if Coachella is hot around this time wouldn’t you not need pool heating ?
It makes me so happy to see all the positive comments! This video was amazing Shelby. They’ve been getting better and better and they were already so good. Can’t wait to see what this year holds for you 😊
Great video! For 2023, it’s hard to nail down specific predictions for the housing market is because it’s not yet clear how quickly or how much the Federal Reserve can bring down inflation and borrowing costs without tanking buyer demand for everything from homes to cars.
It's important to keep in mind that investing is a zero-sum game with both good and bad days. However, by spending and investing wisely and diversifying your holdings, you can minimize risks and maximize gains. Hiring a knowledgeable investment advisor with a wide range of options can help you achieve this and leave little room for regrets.
@@bernisejedeon5888 I just started a few months back, I'm going for long term, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, who’s this advisor you work with?
You are right! I’ve diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.
“Julia Ann finnicum” is the coach that guides me, She has years of financial market experience, you can use something else but for me her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
just taking a step back because I'm kind of blown away by the production level of this video. Although appearing very casual, I can see all the thought you put into making it. Amazing sound quality on that mic too.
Great video, Shelby! And good call on charging for pool heat. Aside from covering some of your costs, you'll also be able to potentially capture guests who don't plan to use the pool and therefore don't want to pay an inflated nightly rate for a heated pool they won't use.
Shellby this my 5th year i followed your channel. I think you have grow up as as person also as a business woman. Your past videos were about simple things like a table or a camera. Nowdays you are are successful business woman. You receive mainly from youtube your incomes but you invested them in some creative businees so in that way you have more revenues than just put your money in a bank account to wait for some interests. Congratulations Shellby for your growth as a person and also as a business woman .
Always astonished with how amazing your editing is! I loved this video, chefs kiss 😅❤ And props to you for always being so honest about stuff like this!
Your videos are very very very well made. Wow! I appreciate the effort you put into your videos and I like that you edit them since your personality shows in the edits.
Glad you haven't had any issues with Coachella. A friend of mine just started up an airbnb there and renter hers out for coachella and the result was the complete opposite. The renters trashed the place, they took things down from the walls including the bathroom mirrors which she said looked like they were doing coke off the mirrors, there was garbage everywhere and there was stains on the carpets and furniture both inside and out.
This is why a lot of AirBnB or Vrbo hosts end up charging Ritz Carlton prices for their properties to prevent college-age and irresponsible partiers from tearing up their place, and in the case they do trash it, pay for extras on cleaning services.
Direct booking site? Re-adjusting a few things to cut costs and make money? Sounds like you've been hanging out with Robuilt. I'm glad you didn't let the haters get you down and quit. Real estate is often a long term strategy. I'm setting up one of my properties to be a STR and it's not too far from your area. It's in the Joshua Tree zone. Here's to more successes in your STR journey.
Shelby. Your channel is very informative and I encourage you keep it going. I have a suggestion regarding your Palm Springs property. Get an inexpensive "bubble wrap" type of pool cover and a spool to store it on. The cover will significantly heat the pool (especially in PS summer heat) for "free" and will significantly reduce your pool chemical bill. Your clients request for pool heating will probably decline. There is one possible issue: liability. If someone were to try to swim with the cover on the pool, issue. BUT, simply make a requirement on your property manager to remove the cover prior to the rental and then reinstall it after the rental expires. The heat loss will be insignificant compared to running without gas heat.
It’s always a good morning when I hear from you! I agree, hang in there I’m sure you’ll be profiting. It’s been a learning year for you. Love seeing you enjoying your pool! 🍹
San Juan County WA recently capped STR permits. Orcas island will not receive any further permits until we lose about 200. Our permits run with the land like an easement. This increases the property values of current permit holders and will basically eliminate new permits being issued. You can add a premium of $100-$200K for a house with a permit to it’s value.
6:25 when I saw the blueprint that the expenses included mortgage, I was like OH that’s a lot! Congrats, I might just rent out my property on airbnb too
Hello shelby from London, I discovered your channel and just want to say well done for been an independent woman and sharing your knowledge with the world. So proud of you as a older sister! Ps. The is weather looks lovely and scenery is amazing.
Love this content but also want to tell you that your videos get better quality each time you post. This is the coolest and best editing I’ve seen you do so far and I’ve been following since like 2013
This is such an insightful and interesting video! I'm so glad to see you doing updates on your airbnb and sharing the ups and downs. I think a lot of people make it seem like it's an easy way to make passive income while in reality it requires so much work and a lot of investing. 😊
So cool you share with us the ups and downs of being a short term rental owner. My city here in Texas is looking at putting restrictions on STR's...and many people wanting to just ban them outright, which I'm not a fan of. Looking forward to seeing the solar video...keeping in mind things in California are more expensive, just because they can be. The "Good/great weather" tax. Property Management fees are nuts there. But I get it with STR's, there is more work involved with cleaning, inspections, etc. Can you give a breakdown of what the PM does for you in another video? Cool video! Looking forward to some pool time myself soon here in Texas!
@@rndmusrnm2763 I don’t agree. If I purchase a home best believe I’m going to do whatever I want with it. The government coming In and telling you what to do with an investment property is insane.
@@A925er then buy in the middle of the desert with no neighbors. Sorry, most Airbnb's are a nuisance to people who live there full time. more restrictions, please
@@sterlingmarshel6299 what a stupid mentality lmao. Can’t reason with stupid.🤷🏼♀️ At the end of the day I’m going to do whatever the hell I want with my house wether you like it or not, and trust me there many work arounds to doing so. My family has done Airbnb, VRBO, and home away. It’s getting done, get used it or move.
You should really look at solar pool heat. My parents installed it and ir works amazing when you have good sun. Even if you need some gas it's still WAY cheaper. It's also not a super high install price. I think you would get more of a savings than the regular solar power you will be getting.
The whole beginning video I was thinking: man if only this property had solar panels, and then well... nice, excited to see the update video when they come in.
What a great video! Your use of b-roll in your videos gets better and better with each video! The production quality is better than most TH-camrs I’ve seen. Very talented :)
I lived in Palm desert and our electric bill was over $1000 with Edison without turning the a/c under 80 degrees and not heating our pool. 😅 we just moved because we couldn’t afford it anymore… Have y’all considered a solar heating set up for the pool too? It’s a few grand but you would be able to pay that off in a few months as opposed to flushing that cost with the power company. ❤
Can't wait for that solar panel video - was literally typing out a question when I heard you mention it in the video lol but there's also solar rooftop pool heaters you might want to look into. I think it's cheaper to run than a traditional gas one, and if it's very warm/sunny where you live it might even be more efficient. My parents have one here in Canada, so... Might be worth a google.
with the heavy usage and crazy amount of sun Palm Springs gets it would make sense to do pool solar. Your break even would probably be fewer than 2 years and you can still charge people to use the pool heat
The fact that your property is grandfathered in as a permitted rental in your neighborhood definitely has increased its value in the long run. Love these type of videos, and love watching the Church’s sisters real estate empire grow! Definitely wouldn’t want to be playing Monopoly with you gals lol.
I think she is grandfathered in, but not the property itself. If she sells it, the next owner may not be able to rent it out. That would hurt the property value, since the buyer would be purchasing a primary residence, rather than a cash-flowing investment. Unless of course, you were talking about the Present Value of her Airbnb business, and not the property itself. In that case, I agree.
You should use solar panels for hot water to heat the pool. There are even solar panels available which provides electricity and hot water. Its amazing how fast a pool can be heated with solar.
I enjoy your channel. We sold our VRBO mountain house 2 years ago and I can’t believe how stress free life is without dealing with all that. It was a great deal because we bought below market in a down market and held it for 12 years. But, it sure felt good to take the appreciation of value and eliminate the headaches of operating a rental
Everything ages 3x faster in PS, just got a new filter system and my pool was built only 4 years ago. House is looking good! Do you charge separate for EV parking? I’ve referred quite a few people to Racquet Club. Before I purchased a home, I rented villas there and paid up to $50 a day for pool heat. ❤
Congrats on the solar panels! We added them in 29 Palms without too much initial issue, but SCE took ~6 months to finally send a bill, and it didn't seem to include the net metering correctly (still working on it). Keep an eye out and make sure you're working with a company that you can follow up with if things don't play out as you expect.
Given the cost of pool heating, it would be a good idea to research heat pumps dedicated to pool heating. Now that you're in the process of getting solar panels, it might just make sense to install even more of them (if that's possible for a given area of the roof and grid capability). With free energy from the solar panels and efficient heating of the pool, that cost just might pay for itself and heating charge can become pure profit some day.
Making electricity from solar panels, then using that power to operate a heat pump is not the way to do it. It is far more efficient to use vacuum tubes to heat the water directly from the sun. The only electricity needed is to run the pump to circulate the water through the solar tubes.
@@Canucker4Life yes it is, because if you have an electric system, heating will work regardless if there's sun or not. Directly heating via heating solar cells wont in case of no sun... Solar is so cheap nowadays it rarely makes sense to go that route, especially if you plan on installing electricity producing solat panels anyway...
Yeah this is palm springs the pool needs a cooler not a heater by April/May the pool will heat from the average 114 degree summers to a balmy 87 degrees plus in the water
Great video! Thanks for sharing! I'm always surprised to hear that people want to heat their pools when they live in a hot climate like Palm Springs or Las Vegas. I would think that having a cold pool would be preferred. I remember staying at a ski resort in Park City Utah in the winter and I loved having a heated pool when it was 30 degrees outside but, When it's in the 80's and 90's outside, I would think that you'd want a cool pool. Thank you so much for sharing all of this information though! I've learned so much from these videos!
Hey. You’ll need a misting system one day. Make sure you add some misters inside the pool. My system cost like 5k and best investment so far for the summer heat. Remember. Its a dry heat. Lol
Great video! Have you thought about maybe applying sun blocking anti UV reflective window tint to the windows to passively cool the house? If you are interested, get one that blocks >80% of infrared rays and >=90% of UV (ultraviolet) rays....
Solar panels to generate electricity, then to use that electricity to run a heat pump is not the way to heat your pool water. Heat the water directly from the sun using evacuated / vacuum tubes. Way more efficient. Yes you will still benefit from solar panels to power the house and the pool pumps, but you should have a separate system that heats the pool water.
I remember when you installed the pool heater. It’s not that old so it’s odd that it already had to be repaired. It’s possible that your pool guy’s poor water chemistry damaged the heater elements. What part did you have to replace? You may want to look for a new pool guy or take your water to Leslie’s and have them test it for free to see how the chemistry looks.
@@s99614 coming from someone in the swimming pool industry, they typically last longer than 2 years. My guess is that the pool guy isn’t balancing the water chemistry correctly and the pH & Alkalinity are not in the correct range.
Do you want to save even more on your electric bills especially in the summer? I noticed that you have shingles on your roof, leave the shingles were they are and add a light colored metal roof(Very inexpensive) and you will see a significant drop in your electric bill. I live right outside of Las Vegas so we have the same type of heat. Since we stuccoed our house and put the metal roof on and added an energy efficient AC. Our bills are never over $160 a month in the summertime. The home is 1400 ft.².
We heat our pool with cheap solar panels my grandpa bought and put together over 30 years ago…we also live in Washington state and our pool stays between 85-90 degrees all summer long.
Hi Shelby thanks for the content! In the future, you could potentially swab your pool heater to an electric one to cut the gas bill. There are also lots of ready-made solar pool heating systems you can buy.
Looking forward to the solar panel video. Live in DC and trying to figure that out soon for my place. Not a rental, but still, hopefully you’ll include some useful information around how to navigate it all. It’s a bit confusing.
We had solar installed on our roof and they ruined the roof. We had them removed and they’ve been sitting for a year waiting to build another structure to connect them to. The installers argued with me about needing a lightening tie down. That delayed the process as well and we had to get them to install that before we were allowed to turn them on. That took about a year and then water started coming into the ceiling and walls. I am glad the city comes out to inspect because the house could have burned down with my dogs in it. Our roof was 80,000 and we are still paying off the 30,000 for the panels. Nothing was explained to us beforehand and we probably should have sued them but there was so much else going on we couldnt take on another fight.
Great info. Sweet looking house. The power lines surprised me though. The 20% rule seems fair and I wish they had that in our area, California mountains, hmmmmm maybe they do though it doesn't seem like it. They are freakin everywhere.
This was a great video. I don’t know if you already have one out, but I would love a video explaining of how to get into rental properties and Airbnb👏🏾
I am glad you guys are finally going the solar route. I don't know how far along you are in the solar panel installation process, but definitely get solar plus storage. Without the battery, most panels won't work during a power outage. 😞
me, someone who has no interest in running an airbnb: this is so helpful! i hope you know you’re so freaking good at what you do!
hahahaah. Also I love your videos Damon!! The editing is sooo good
Owning a property is such a huge responsibility. I've been in my house for 18 months and the maintenance, keeping it looking nice.
Agree! 3 years and it’s still blows my mind how much it takes to keep up on
Been a home owner for 7 years and there's always something that needs to get done

For cheap pool heating: I highly recommend that you get a bubble pool cover. It's literally like a huge sheet of bubble wrap that you can cut to the shape of your pool.

We added them in 29 Palms without too much initial issue, but SCE took ~6 months to finally send a bill, and it didn't seem to include the net metering correctly (still working on it). Keep an eye out and make sure you're working with a company that you can follow up with if things don't play out as you expect.
Given the cost of pool heating, it would be a good idea to research heat pumps dedicated to pool heating. Now that you're in the process of getting solar panels, it might just make sense to install even more of them (if that's possible for a given area of the roof and grid capability). With free energy from the solar panels and efficient heating of the pool, that cost just might pay for itself and heating charge can become pure profit some day.
Making electricity from solar panels, then using that power to operate a heat pump is not the way to do it. It is far more efficient to use vacuum tubes to heat the water directly from the sun. The only electricity needed is to run the pump to circulate the water through the solar tubes.
@@Canucker4Life yes it is, because if you have an electric system, heating will work regardless if there's sun or not. Directly heating via heating solar cells wont in case of no sun... Solar is so cheap nowadays it rarely makes sense to go that route, especially if you plan on installing electricity producing solat panels anyway...
Yeah this is palm springs the pool needs a cooler not a heater by April/May the pool will heat from the average 114 degree summers to a balmy 87 degrees plus in the water
Great video! Thanks for sharing! I'm always surprised to hear that people want to heat their pools when they live in a hot climate like Palm Springs or Las Vegas. I would think that having a cold pool would be preferred. I remember staying at a ski resort in Park City Utah in the winter and I loved having a heated pool when it was 30 degrees outside but, When it's in the 80's and 90's outside, I would think that you'd want a cool pool. Thank you so much for sharing all of this information though! I've learned so much from these videos!
And, so I subscribed! I love your creative, business poise..all I got for now 😉
The aesthetics of this video are so on point.
Great video again Shelby. Love that you wore your blouse which you shared before I believe in Seattle. Love ❤️ the coverage you shared
Can you please share where your sweat suit set in the beginning is from? It looks so comfy..
You inspire as well as teach honestly and clearly. A+++
Hey. You’ll need a misting system one day. Make sure you add some misters inside the pool. My system cost like 5k and best investment so far for the summer heat.
Remember. Its a dry heat. Lol
Loved the overall aesthetics of this video!
As always, love your content. Thank you for your transparency.
Great video! Have you thought about maybe applying sun blocking anti UV reflective window tint to the windows to passively cool the house? If you are interested, get one that blocks >80% of infrared rays and >=90% of UV (ultraviolet) rays....
Solar panels to generate electricity, then to use that electricity to run a heat pump is not the way to heat your pool water. Heat the water directly from the sun using evacuated / vacuum tubes. Way more efficient. Yes you will still benefit from solar panels to power the house and the pool pumps, but you should have a separate system that heats the pool water.
I remember when you installed the pool heater. It’s not that old so it’s odd that it already had to be repaired. It’s possible that your pool guy’s poor water chemistry damaged the heater elements. What part did you have to replace? You may want to look for a new pool guy or take your water to Leslie’s and have them test it for free to see how the chemistry looks.
I’m not sure what part I’ll ask!
I would not expect a pool heater to last very long.
@@s99614 coming from someone in the swimming pool industry, they typically last longer than 2 years. My guess is that the pool guy isn’t balancing the water chemistry correctly and the pH & Alkalinity are not in the correct range.
Do you want to save even more on your electric bills especially in the summer? I noticed that you have shingles on your roof, leave the shingles were they are and add a light colored metal roof(Very inexpensive) and you will see a significant drop in your electric bill. I live right outside of Las Vegas so we have the same type of heat. Since we stuccoed our house and put the metal roof on and added an energy efficient AC. Our bills are never over $160 a month in the summertime. The home is 1400 ft.².
I loved the clips in this video! Like on the pool float, drone, etc. Very nice twist on your usual clips at tour Airbnb!
Also she seems very happy in this video. Whatever is going on in her personal life is definitely good and showing in the video 😂
We heat our pool with cheap solar panels my grandpa bought and put together over 30 years ago…we also live in Washington state and our pool stays between 85-90 degrees all summer long.
You can get solar tube heaters for the pool.
Hi Shelby thanks for the content! In the future, you could potentially swab your pool heater to an electric one to cut the gas bill. There are also lots of ready-made solar pool heating systems you can buy.
Looking forward to the solar panel video. Live in DC and trying to figure that out soon for my place. Not a rental, but still, hopefully you’ll include some useful information around how to navigate it all. It’s a bit confusing.
I’m laughing so hard at you in a the robe shots, this video is awesome love it hahahhaha
I like how this is also an ad for your cute air bnb
We had solar installed on our roof and they ruined the roof. We had them removed and they’ve been sitting for a year waiting to build another structure to connect them to. The installers argued with me about needing a lightening tie down. That delayed the process as well and we had to get them to install that before we were allowed to turn them on. That took about a year and then water started coming into the ceiling and walls.
I am glad the city comes out to inspect because the house could have burned down with my dogs in it.
Our roof was 80,000 and we are still paying off the 30,000 for the panels. Nothing was explained to us beforehand and we probably should have sued them but there was so much else going on we couldnt take on another fight.
These updates ❤. Your transparency is so refreshing
Your editing and shots are so good! Amazing you do all this yourself
Use the solar panels to HEAT the POOL.
make sure you get solar panels and a water heater for the pool. The sun will heat it for you, just stick in the equipment.
Great info. Sweet looking house. The power lines surprised me though. The 20% rule seems fair and I wish they had that in our area, California mountains, hmmmmm maybe they do though it doesn't seem like it. They are freakin everywhere.
Great video! Lots of good information, well thought out. It's always fun to see what you are up to next.
Definitely you’re amazing. Such a good video and doing very well 👍🙏 keep going you go far 👍
Shelby's just glowing in this! Glad to hear the bills are getting paid and money is being made. Long term this is going to be an excellent investment.
😂😂😂
This was a great video. I don’t know if you already have one out, but I would love a video explaining of how to get into rental properties and Airbnb👏🏾
Loooooooved this video! The editing is amazing, and you look SO happy Shelby. ❤️
Shelby, I love your videos for your honest transparency! ❤
Wow your editing these days s is fire. Almost like a proper show
Hi Shelby!! Great profit for April 2023!! Love you!! ❤❤
This channels videos are informative. Always worth watching.
I am glad you guys are finally going the solar route. I don't know how far along you are in the solar panel installation process, but definitely get solar plus storage. Without the battery, most panels won't work during a power outage. 😞
I grew up in the Mojave Desert just east of Palm Springs. My aunt had a pool with a solar water heater that might be a good option for you.
This is nice info!! Btw, @6:40 that beige is so your color!! Looks great!
