We have set up our fair share of rental properties over the years and it's like half-science, half-art. On one side you've got your budget and logistics and business plan and then you've got the creative side with interior design choices and generally creating a vibe for your property.
The key to a good setup is finding the balance between those two sides, and unfortunately a lot of new hosts get either way too caught up with creating the "vibe" and overlook some important, basic necessities or they get way too caught up on the budget (aka they "penny pinch") and buy cheap.
In this week's video, we've taken the issues we've seen at struggling vacation rental properties and combined them with our own strategies to create a list of 10 common mistakes that we've seen hosts make when setting up their short term rentals. And, if you stick through to the end, we'll also be sharing our number one tip for making sure that your property is set up for success. It's probably not what you think!

My wife and I came across Airbnb as an investment mid 2021. Since then I have been obsessed with Airbnb TH-cam videos and I have to compliment you guys on your channel. The info is fantastic and I truly enjoy your delivery. Im subscribed and looking forward to more videos as we embark on our Airbnb journey later this year. Thanks guys!
You just made my day! 😊
I agree!!

I am trying to be as sustainable and USA made focused as possible. My next plan is to share QR codes for all my amenities. One example is sugar/cane made “plastic-wear” for kids
Dishes instead of plastic! Dish scrubbies bought on Etsy. Made in America hangers.
Making sure your items are in stock, great point. I was furnishing an AirBnB in Kingman, Az. went to the local Ashley Furniture store, the sales assoc. was very helpful, answered all of our questions, gave us an incredible deal on about $22,000 in furniture, everything was going smooth, UNTIL we went to pay for it. With a big, bright smile, the young lady said, “ok, that will be $21,874 and we can have that delivered, IN 2 1/2 - 3 MONTHS!
WTF?!?! They literally had EVERYTHING IN RIGHT THERE! But was going to make me wait 3 months to “have it delivered!” Even the the store manager Tony wouldn’t help.
Needless to say, we laughed in their faces, I told Tony he was an idiot.
We bought all of our furniture at Mill’s Brothers Furniture in Lake Havasu.
Nice people to do business with.
We spent about $1100 more there, but everything was in stock and I had it in one week, with NO DELIVERY FEE!
thanks for your good advice. I need to add kids dishes, that's one thing I don't have at our homes, i have high chairs and pack';n plays. Not sure why i skipped something so important and affordable.
can we get an in-depth help on mood boards?
Your last tip…YES! Every choice centered around the guest experience! The clean lines of modern design and the all crisp clean white look of of your decor is perfect for a beachside condo…a city apartment BUT if I decorated like that in our Montana mountain log home it would be ruined and dirty before I finished setting it up. I have real dishes there but my guests eat outside next to river in summer a lot…I have melamine dishes for outdoor use, even though I will not eat on plastic. We are bear country…I provide bear spray even though I don’t go hiking. I make choices for the guests.
👏👏👏 yes absolutely tailor your set up to your guest AND your location. Good insight. We’re all about the melamine option, even at home for our 5 year old who’s appetite is sometimes bigger than a toddler plate but is a bit too clumsy for the real stuff 😂
Great tips 👍
I would love to see more about your setup process and how you use the mood board.
Same!
Lol oh God you guys just made me realize why my prev guest didn't leave a review. I was totally over cramming. This guy booked my small place that had 3 different beds for his whole family for 2 weeks. God it must have been hell. But I DID note the square footage on my listing! Lol
Completely agree with you on the higher of beds; it is higher risk, higher cleaning costs and longer turnover.
Can you do a video on how you “take over” a property? For example, a client decides to hire you as their new property managers after working with another PM company, how do decide if you even want work with the new client, and then how does the transition process usually work and how do you convince the new clients to set up the property to your standards?
Yes to the moodboard video
Great advice! Thanks!
Please make that in depth set up video 😊. Thank you!
Great video, thank you
Great video. 😊 thank you.
I'm slowly getting around to watching all of your videos! I love all the information you both are sharing.
Thanks for all of this information. Here is my question...Would everything be the same if we were going to do traveling nurses? If anyone else has a answer, we would love to hear as well.
Yes I’m interested in it
Great tips, thank you
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info
Thanks for watching!
Great content!
Thank you!
I have been benne watching all your videos you guys are great !! I would pay !!! Truely for a course you two could teach !!
Thank you so much for all your info and time to make these videos
Great information, short to the point with a lot of content provided, just starting with 1st STR so I will be watching all videos.
I totally agree.I was a contract nurse for many years and I recently purchased a new 3BR in the Philadelphia area and I want to market travel professionals.I have furnished the house with the same amenities as I have in my own home especially bedding and kitchen items.
Hey, I live in Philly and work at CHOP. I have a rental in Drexel Hill. We should talk!
You are so knowledgeable! These are top notch tips!
Hope you find them helpful! 😊
Definitely interested In Your mood board ideas. That was a really helpful idea. Closed escrow a few days ago and now need to design it. I was stuck on that point.
Newbie here! I’m really enjoying the content so far. My partner and I are starting our Airbnb journey in South Africa at the moment and the information as been so helpful. I would love for you to a video on mood boarding.
Great tips. I’m starting mine now.
How exciting!
Thank you for your videos and thank you for sharing your inventory! I get hot flashes many nights post breast-cancer. Look forward to trying the lightweight blankets!
Thank you, very informative.
You're very welcome!
yes please for the set up thing you said you'd do another video about!
My husband and I are getting ready to buy and fully renovate a 7 unit lake front in Michigan. We've been binging your videos all day. SUPER grateful for them :)
Great to hear! Best of luck to you both! :)
Interested in setup process!
Where are the links? Great podcast!
I would love more info in setting up a new Airbnb. Trying to set up mine.
Set up plz! Also do you guys have a favorites page on amazon, i see some really cute pieces that i would loved to have just for myself haha
Yup, very interested in “set up” info
Great videos! Loving the content as I embark on my hosting journey. One tip You should invest in a mic for these videos.
I’d be interested in hearing more of your setup process if there’s a video already
I recently bought three condos in Palm Springs and have the first one available to rent and am working on the other two. All your suggestions are excellent! I would add the mistake of putting up posters and other cheap artwork.
Wow 3 condos! That’s awesome! Hope things are going smoothly for you so far! 😀
As usual very useful video. I don't have the property yet as we will move countries next year, but once we've settled it will open. Basically, I am trying to preplan and be as prepared as possible. Keep your fingers crossed. I love your videos.
Best of luck!
Family friendly property. We have outlets every 2 feet around the house and this is a raised ranch with 2 sets of stairs between the basement and 1st floor. Would you suggest I invest in purchasing outlet covers and baby gates? Thank you!
Can you guys do a video about dealing with neighbors? We just bought a home for airbnb purpose and currently furnishing it. The neighbors have been so nice and friendly and trying to find a way to tell them without scaring them. Our county allows short term rental for no less than 7 days so I think parties won’t be a problem but again you never know. Would love your advice on this topic
Yes I LOVE this idea! We’ve seen it all - the good, the bad and the ugly 😅 Thanks for the input!
I have doubles in bedspreads so a clean set is always available for a quick turnover and the bedspreads are fairly quick to dry.
What pillows do you purchase?
Can you go more in depth about how you do STR bedding? I try to avoid duvet covers as well.
Absolutely!
Hi, thank you guys a lot! I Wonder how you deal with stealing? Small items, like cups, towels, small déco éléments, does it happen a lot, or sometimes ? Is it that brandes items could have more staying power?:)) Any other solution for that?
I have this problem too.
Can you guys give links to items you use to furnish and decorate your units (I.e. bedding, mattress, couch, dishes, etc.)?
Hi there! Yes, you can go to www.Arrivls.com/inventory for our full list
Do you have a recommendation when it comes to color of sheets? Do you recommend all white so they can be bleached?
Yes we use white :)
MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT YOUR SET UP PROCESS PLEASE
We’d love to!
@@kyleeandsteven awesome I just subscribed to you guys! Love your content!
Hi, what's up? I am new to your channel! And I wanted to know if you own your own property or are you doing subrenting arbitrage model?
Hi there! we have a mix of properties we own and properties we manage on behalf of owners. We haven't done arbitrage but there are plenty of people who make nice businesses doing arbitrage deals
Coment more on your canvas and spreadsheet
Hi. Where is the download? I signed up and it takes me to your Instagram page and not to the download.... revised: IT WORKS. Great tool!! Thank you for sharing. Excellent resource!
It is sent to the email address you provided
@@kyleeandsteven no, actually it's not. I get an email there that has a button to download and when I click to download it forwards me to your IG account. There is no download.
@@irmafranke1012 sorry you’re having trouble with that. If you click the button that says “download your copy” from the email (not the web browser window) then the pdf should go to your downloads folder.
@@kyleeandsteven thank you!!! It doesn't work when done on a phone but worked when on a desktop. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I will buy several things for our Airbnb
You mentioned laundering. The sheets I bought wrinkle horribly. It took the life out of me trying to iron them. Any suggestions?
I have the same problem with wrinkled sheets and pillow cases. Because I'm in a hot and humid area I prefer to use cotton sheets as they breathe well, but wrinkle horribly! What helps is not over loading the washer and dryer and removing and folding immediately out of the dryer. I only iron the pillow cases.
Try taking the sheets out of the dryer just before they are completely dry and put on the bed immediately, smoothing and stretching out as you go. If they get too dry you can spray with a light mist of water and smooth out. I do this with wrinkled cotton sheets and my linen duvet covers and it works well.
Your link doesn’t work
I miss IKEA, we can’t get IKEA in Hawaii. :(
Bed cramming is by far the goofiest thing Ive seen at cheaper airbnbs. Its tacky and uncomfortable and is definitely inviting a party. I would say that no room should have more then two matresses in it.
Lets say you have a 3 bedroom house well I would say king bed in master, king/Queen in second bedroom and queen/double Full bed in 3rd room. Twin XL is too small in my opinion for a grown adult man or even teen so having at least one full matress in a 2 bed bedroom is essential!
stop airbnb
