I've been doing AirBnB before AirBnB existed. When i had a studio apartment in Québec City i paid 550$ a month in rent and i wanted to save money to travel, so i put an ad on the local equivalent of Craigslist and would offer furnished stays for 850$ a month. That was circa 2008. In 2009 i took a 90K loan on my house to build an apartment on top of half the house and started leasing it out to senior employees of a local shipyard that came to work here from overseas. The loan paid for itself in 3 years and now it's all profit. I've had a couple "long term" tenants (annual lease, lower rent) but it was more problems and less money. Put it on AirBnB. I also got a smaller studio size apartment downstairs which needs renovations. I spend half the year in Vancouver BC and have rented a lot of apartments there over the year, bth as a regular tennat with a lease, and an AirBnb guest,. I know the buildings, the prices, i can even guess what building an apartment is in by seeing pictures usually, what side of the building a suite is on etc. in a few years i'd like to lease an apartment in Vancouver, invest about 5K to paint, furnish and decorate it, and AirBnB it from there. I could make 5K a month profit doing this. It's gonna be a fun adventure.
This is an incredible amount of information… how can you know so much and just spill out so flawlessly.. there isn’t anyone else I need to even listen to😅
Started my first Airbnb a few weeks ago with minimum 2-week stays, and it's remote (some thousands of miles away from me). Already booked for 2 months. My home has the smart stuff (outside lights, thermostat, camera/doorbell). Neighbors keeping an eye on guests as well and mowing my lawn. I say the most important ingredient to a successful remote Airbnb is a reliable resource on-site: my cleaning lady. She's gold. She's watered my newly planted tree. Reprogrammed my irrigation to accommodate the new sod. Rebalanced the dishwasher to stop a leaking. Picked up branches left in the yard by trimmer. Picked up my mail and held critical documents. List goes on. We know we'll need her for so much more and she's clearly been more than a cleaner. She rocks and is more essential to us in doing a remote Airbnb than anything. I plan on flying over to the Airbnb at the end of this month and meet her in person for the first time! Other plans too! Making locks, plumbing, and garage smart and controllable from my phone!
@@precioussunrentalsllc6856 You might have to get creative in that. For me, I had success in the past posting questions on my community's Facebook group. I just searched "Airbnb" on that group page and there appeared a historical conversation about someone looking to hire a cleaner for their Airbnb home. I clicked to see the full replies on that thread and found three candidates. I picked the one that seemed most responsive and invested/interested in the job. She lives in the community and is practically walking-distance from the Airbnb home. Most key was her willingness to handle tasks unrelated to cleaning and, in a way, being on-call in case there's an unexpected/urgent need (e.g. turning off lights the photographer left on). Not all communities have their private groups. I don't think you're allowed to join the group unless you're a resident. It worked great for me, but might not work or even be possible for you. You could try the Nextdoor app as well. I try to throw a tip of $20-50 her way when she does extra/non-cleaning work. She says she's not after that money, but I can't afford her to entertain the idea of quitting due to overload. We all want money! haha
@@zanderjourney I have experience being a landlord of a remote property. My brother licensed in the state manages it and handles renewing the lease every year. This one has been going for about 2-3 years now. That's it as far as my experience goes prior to launching this Airbnb, unless you count my experience in purchasing and selling (bought 4 homes and sold one of them). All of those purchases were initially my primary residence, so I never thought of myself as being in the real estate game.
Sean I can't tell u how much I appreciate that ur so humble n teaching these tips n how much you've helped me... I'm n process of starting a Airbnb n atl I'm not from there but have fam there and i am from GA n I NEED all ur KNOWLEDGE ur a beast!
Great info. I need to research rural remote locations to find out if those areas will Airbnb or not. I'd rather go local, but I'm WAY out in the boonies.
Watching your videos are giving me the inspiration, knowledge, and MOST of all, the courage to start my Airbnb business. Thank you for offering such a wealth of knowledge. 🤩
This was a great. I plan on scaling the number of properties I have within the next few years immensely. I would love to start acquiring properties further out from my location. Would like to see that video on the new program you and your cleaners are using.
Really enjoy your content and especially your abundance mindset. Sharing knowledge makes the entire STR space better. I'm using loads of your golden nuggets while setting up my new rental (in my home area) right now. Keep grinding :)
Hey Sean, thanks for all the valuable information you share. We are a startup company that will have 3 condos in our airbnb portfolio by end of 2022 in the Dominican Republic. We will be hosting those airbnb's semi remotely.
There's a major issue with Airbnb given they seem to encourage SCAMMERS and they DO NOT qualify guests, so it's important to contact guests before they occupy and qualify them - if things look suspicious, it's best NOT to accept guests that are scammers. Some guests will take all the towels or all the pots and pans, etc.
Although google voice could be a fake number, people do also use it as a real number. I personally have used a google voice number for like 10 years as my main phone number, and would think it unreasonable for a host to report me to AirBnB as a fake account just for the call having gone to voice mail
Crazy question, but if you work remote and you have a great housekeeper, they go in and change the linen-how are the dirty linens getting cleaned ? Hotels use their own on site laundry or send it out. What do y’all do if it’s a remote scenario?
Do you think you can do this stuff in areas that aren’t super city or tourist like? I live in a medium sized town in florida on the coast and I don’t see a lot of air Bnb’s booked out a lot unless it’s a super unique place.
Other areas that absolutely crush it are those little ski towns like Winter Park Colorado or Park city Utah I personally think that Crescent city California would be a great choice as well
It’s not a bad idea if you project good enough margins. I recommend buying furniture because long-term it is cheaper and people when they leverage both Leases and Furniture can grow faster than they are prepared for and start to suffer other negatives within the company they could then lose that money
Great Job Sean! Quick question: would you recommend lessening the amount of guest per stay and perhaps increasing the minimum nightly stay when hosting remotely? I guess the reason would be to minimize parties and have less but longer stays? Thank so much!
My Serbian brat (brother) Do you give the landlords a % of profit beyond the required rent to incentivize a sale? I have 4 Airbnbs and ive been doing over 120k this year. But its from my 2 family home. This is my 2nd year. I will be following your strategy because youre Serbian and imam poverenje in you! I will try and pitch to landlords.
Hello sir, can you please explain what you mean when you say your air BNB is 2 family home? Do you mean 2 separate homes? I am wanting to start and will have my home paid off soon and want to rent it out as I purchase another home soon
id like to check out one of your air bnbs.. i am a co-host and have pushed your videos to my main hosts, but i want to know what you are really about.. message me if you can.. i am not looking for a diccount, just looking to absorb some skills

I’m rooting for you!
Amazing content, thank you as always
Hi very good information, I’m going to watch all your videos
Could you share your tip on signing into all streaming accounts that you talked about around the 9:20 mark?
Just want to say thank you 💪🏾💪🏾
I am in Buffalo. I want to start soon. We have a Niagara fall around. Please teach me. I have no idea how I can handle everything.
Great info. I need to research rural remote locations to find out if those areas will Airbnb or not. I'd rather go local, but I'm WAY out in the boonies.
Man…..thank you! We host/manage local in Breckenridge CO. But still….such good info. Thank you :)
Watching your videos are giving me the inspiration, knowledge, and MOST of all, the courage to start my Airbnb business. Thank you for offering such a wealth of knowledge. 🤩
Oh and I've already shared it in my WhatsApp group.
Have you started your air BNB business yet?
Dude....your content is OUTSTANDING 😎👍🏼💪
Big thanks
More great information. Thanks for sharing.
Love your TH-cam video. I am new and ready for Airbnb but don’t know who’s best Airbnb Managemt that can take care from A to Z
This was a great. I plan on scaling the number of properties I have within the next few years immensely. I would love to start acquiring properties further out from my location. Would like to see that video on the new program you and your cleaners are using.

that vid had more nuggets than entire channels do! but that's how Sean rolls anyway
What do you think about Frisco, Tx? The star center is there along with a ton of shopping and Toyota stadium.
Hey Sean, thanks for all the valuable information you share. We are a startup company that will have 3 condos in our airbnb portfolio by end of 2022 in the Dominican Republic. We will be hosting those airbnb's semi remotely.
Thanks for sharing
Happy to help
Wow!!!! Beautiful painting Sean!!!! What is the technique?
This was an acrylic pour. but since it was so large I had to use the shop vac to push the paint around instead of using a regular blow dryer
Jajaja... The texture is amazing... Congratulations!

It’s so crazy. On one video, he speaks on getting a spare TV…….in case of theft. That blew my mind. Someone straight stealing a TV…smh wow
Thank you so much!!!
I’m such difficult situation of my life right now.
All your advices may just safe my life.
Hack for tv apps at 9:30 missed or in a upcoming video?
Future video

Crisp quality on the video 👍🏼what camera are you using?
Panasonic GH5S
Why people go to Houston?
Hey Sean, what advice do you have for those who want to Airbnb but live in NYC where policies work against Airbnb arbitrage?
You the man!
thanks Austin
Dude strait up value! How do I get your training? Really appreciate the value and feeling really good about all of this
excellent
How much % do you pay the housekeepers from a nightly stay? What are some co host companies?
We pay hourly. about $14 an hour. there aren't national cohost companies that I recommend. always search for highly reviewed local ones.
14:28 connecting with guest when you host remotely.
Crazy question, but if you work remote and you have a great housekeeper, they go in and change the linen-how are the dirty linens getting cleaned ? Hotels use their own on site laundry or send it out. What do y’all do if it’s a remote scenario?
A washer and dryer can cycle through in 2 1/2 hours. this can be done in the home you usually have a four hour window to clean
Wow.. just WoW 🎉
happy to help :)
What app does he uses after moving away from group me?
thanks for sharing! I have a question, how much is fair to pay the co-host ? if im hosting remote
exactly what i want to know!!
🎉
Long island SUCKS for AirBNB. No one is vacationing here! lol
Do you think you can do this stuff in areas that aren’t super city or tourist like? I live in a medium sized town in florida on the coast and I don’t see a lot of air Bnb’s booked out a lot unless it’s a super unique place.
Some of my favorite cities right now are midwestern cities that are maybe a quarter million people or half million people in the total metro
Other areas that absolutely crush it are those little ski towns like Winter Park Colorado or Park city Utah I personally think that Crescent city California would be a great choice as well
Sean what do you think about renting the staging instead of buying if the fee is $199 per month for a one bedroom? For totally stocked air bnb.
It’s not a bad idea if you project good enough margins.
I recommend buying furniture because long-term it is cheaper and people when they leverage both Leases and Furniture can grow faster than they are prepared for and start to suffer other negatives within the company they could then lose that money
What was the app he mentioned at 9:40? Group Me?
I have the same question
where is the link to "how to handle your money" one
Here’s one: titled “Build your airbnb business 50% faster with this cash trick.”
I thought Airbnb already confirms phone numbers when you sign up?
there are some loopholes to get a fake line on the account
Great Job Sean! Quick question: would you recommend lessening the amount of guest per stay and perhaps increasing the minimum nightly stay when hosting remotely? I guess the reason would be to minimize parties and have less but longer stays? Thank so much!
My Serbian brat (brother)
Do you give the landlords a % of profit beyond the required rent to incentivize a sale?
I have 4 Airbnbs and ive been doing over 120k this year. But its from my 2 family home. This is my 2nd year. I will be following your strategy because youre Serbian and imam poverenje in you!
I will try and pitch to landlords.
Hello sir, can you please explain what you mean when you say your air BNB is 2 family home? Do you mean 2 separate homes? I am wanting to start and will have my home paid off soon and want to rent it out as I purchase another home soon
are you one of those bad people automated?
the ones you warned us about in the beginning of this video?
Am I batman?
Batman is the best of the DC universe
lol - Batman
the first video to slightly scare me from doing airbnb lol
It’s not ALL blue skies
so thorough! thanks for giving me bigger pockets! 🤑🤑🤑
As always….. Thank you so much for the valuable information! 🙏🏻 Sean, may you please check your IG inbox (probably ended in your message requests).
Batman 😂
All these platforms are scams GOOD LUCK YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
