I'd love to know how you prepared your home for full-time Airbnb. What did you do with all your stuff? Who took care of all the check-ins, or is your second home close by?Jay Dedmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06780377790850198302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980150319004551086.post-33566041749708544592016-09-12T14:18:00.783-04:002016-09-12T14:18:00.783-04:00Hi guys!

Decided to rent out the house we live in instead of the cabin we bought because, frankly, we felt we knew so much more about our house/neighborhood and not enough about the new place - and we really wanted to spend a family Summer away and explore a new area ourselves. Anyway, just wanted to give you an update since I took the big plunge largely because of listening to you guys. Can't wait to catch up on all your podcasts both here and at Scavengers as I was pretty much unplugged the entire Summer besides being on airbnb :-) Hope your Fall goes well too!

This episode gives me the vessel to...Howdy Friends,<br />This episode gives me the vessel to tell you a bit more about my rental business, differently than my eBay business, this was an intentional move, rather than an opportunistic one.<br />I am on the rental business for 7.5 years now, however I have not put much dedication into administering properly until a year or so.<br />My rental house is about a mile away from home. I've had 4 long time tenants in the period. Current family is there for over 3 years now. We are pre-AirBNB.<br />We compromised higher income for long term income, even more with current family, they are marvelous tenants. So we could be making certainly $200 or even $230 more each month, but would be the stress of 11 month rented, 4-6 month vacant.<br />Starting a little over a year, having the magic of time, I started to focus on reducing several of the fixed costs. The house is under my name, not under a business name, so there are some higher costs with tax for example on that side, but I have a fully dedicated Bank account, that includes savings, CreditCard exclusive to that business.<br />Besides Intuit Quicken tool, it is easy to see the bank on line to have a sense on the cash flow, money we have to move to our personal needs, or even re-invest on renovations or repairs (not to mention our crazy home owners insurance and property tax). Today all these costs are absorbed.<br /><br />My next goal is to transfer the house ownership to a LLC, however I have little hope because of the process required and closing costs, etc, unecessary.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PHPaulo Henrique Leocadiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887464340937132117noreply@blogger.com
