A lot of you remember the journey of the 'Comfy Cactus' and how it changed my life forever: I loved turning this property into my first Airbnb rental and look at me now as I host 17 properties! Well, let me correct that - I co-host these properties with my sisters Ashley and Erica and even though we've learned a lot in the process... we wish there was a manual on how to reduce the learning curve.
With that in mind, we've decided to sit down to talk about the journey of scaling from 3 to 17 properties, discuss how we've saved time by implementing more smart processes, and share our best tips to turn an average Airbnb experience into a 5-star raving review!
Takeaways from this episode:
-You can get your property listed on Short Term Rental websites even before the space is ready to be used.
-Tech is more important than you think when you're managing properties.
-Keep and update property guides on digital and print form.
-Coordinating supplies for multiple properties isn't a small task - use technology!
-Create templates for bookers' FAQ's to help create consistency (and save you time!).
-Have a roster that looks like an 'army of cleaners' as life happens and you'll need different availabilities at different times.
-Ensure that you also provide ample cleaning supplies for the guest.
-Have good quality amenities (including 3 ply sheet toilet paper)
-Have a 24-hour assistance people in case of emergencies.
