<v Speaker 4>So yeah, people always ask us for like different topics,

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.199

<v Speaker 4>has been Airbnb and use it a lot.

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 5>If you travel, you likely have.

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.440

<v Speaker 4>of those things, like all things that we cover, there's

<v Speaker 4>really no college to learn about this kind of stuff.

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 4>You just kind of got to learn on the fly

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 4>or make a bunch of mistakes. So when we was

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.920

<v Speaker 4>and we reached out to her and it was a

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 4>quick turnaround. She's like, yeah, I'll do it, and here

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 4>we are. So Lexi is young, she's twenty three years old,

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:31.519
<v Speaker 4>recent graduate from Georgia State University. Right, but she's making

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:33.959
<v Speaker 4>a killing in the airbnb game right now. She has

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:38.959
<v Speaker 4>currently has twenty two units that she has under management,

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 4>and she's scaled very very quickly in a short period

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 4>of time sat on instagramt from like three thousand to

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 4>like almost like thirty thousand a month in airbnb profits.

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 4>So we reached out to it, and she's going to

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 4>give us a lot of games. So first and foremost,

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 4>thank you for joining us.

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 5>Appreciate it absolutely.

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 3>Welcome, welcome, welcome. Yeah.

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 5>So all right, so how did you get into the

0:02:58.240 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 5>airbnb game? Like? What made you?

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 4>Cause I know you used to work corporate, right, yes,

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 4>So what made you say, Okay, I want to be

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.799
<v Speaker 4>an entrepreneur and a lot of people want to get

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 4>into real estate, But what made you want to go

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.440
<v Speaker 4>to airbnb route?

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>So when you talk about real estate, there's a lot

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>of different avenues to the real estate industry. So when

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 2>I look at the real estate how a lot of

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 2>people do it, which is long term leasing, and then

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 2>you look at Airbnb, which is short term leasing, and

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>you compare the two. It's always better to do than

0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 2>short term leasing. So like I tell you guys, if

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 2>I have a property and I put a tenant in it,

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>a long term tenant, I might charge that tenant only

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>a thousand or eleven hundred a month, Versus I could

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 2>do that same house for short term leasing and make

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 2>that eleven hundred and three or four days just off

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 2>being on Airbnb. So I knew that Airbnb was it.

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>If I can do short term leasing versus long term

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 2>leasing and make the same amount of profits within three

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>or four days, I can scale my business. See what

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. Yeah, So I knew that the Airbnb was it.

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 5>So what, like what was your first Airbnb?

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 4>How did you how did you initiate initiate getting into

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 4>the game.

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 2>So I moved out of my last place. And when

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 2>I moved out of my last place, I was working

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 2>with this military and she had moved out too, We

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 2>lived in the same building, and when she moved out,

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I still kept seeing her in the building. So I

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 2>was like, what are you doing here? And she told me.

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 2>She was like, I put my unit up for Airbnb.

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 2>So when I was ready to move out, she told me,

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 2>she said, I it's paying my rent and it's rent.

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.839
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, well, I ain't gonna let mine

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 2>go when it's time for me to go. And I didn't,

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 2>and that's what happened to mine too. It was paying

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>its bills and my bills at my new place. So

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 2>then I was like, well, I might as well go

0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 2>get more. I was already in the real estate industry.

0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:45.679
<v Speaker 2>We were both in real estate, So could.

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 5>You do it?

0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.159
<v Speaker 2>It was just the industry, you said.

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 5>You was already in real estate, like in web capacity, so.

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Buying and holding okay, fix and flips okay.

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 3>So I mean you're twenty three, right, So where's this

0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 3>business acting coming from? Is this something that was passed

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 3>down from like family members. It's just like, you know what,

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 3>something along the way during your experience, this is the

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 3>route I have to go.

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Honestly, I've always told my parents I

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to work for nobody, and I worked for

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 2>chick I worked for the same job for six years,

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 2>since I was fourteen. I worked for Chick fil A,

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 2>and I just used to say, like, this is not

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>for me. I even started my I started a lingerie

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 2>line in high school. I was sixteen. My parents were like,

0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:24.600
<v Speaker 2>you ain't start.

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 3>No, that's that's all I'm thinking. Like, if my daughter

0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:30.840
<v Speaker 3>tells me at sixteen we don't have that's what We're

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:31.560
<v Speaker 3>gonna have a problem.

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.360
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't that kind of lauderie. It was like pajamaware,

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't care, but it was cute. So at that

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 2>point in time, I was like, I just I just

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 2>can't keep working for nobody. I was like, I have

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 2>to get out of this. My mom worked for the

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.599
<v Speaker 2>same company for fifteen years. My dad same thing, So

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:55.279
<v Speaker 2>it's like, who's gonna break it there? Honestly, my stepfather

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 2>is the only entrepreneur in our family, and he came

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 2>along later on down the line, so somebody had to

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 2>break it.

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I was. I was just we just had that

0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 5>conversation last night.

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 4>As far as like we come from like working class environments,

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.480
<v Speaker 4>working class families, and working class communities where it's like

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, the goal a lot of times is to

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 4>get a good job, right, you know what I'm saying,

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 4>Like a good like yeah, like quote unquote was considered

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 4>a good job. But it's like that's really a race

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 4>to nowhere, not to not a job. But it's like

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:31.160
<v Speaker 4>ultimately your one paycheck away from poverty. Right, you're working,

0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 4>you're working for thirty years. You don't really have enough

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 4>to retire. And it's like you see that with parents, grandparents,

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 4>and it's like, like you said, it's like the entrepreneur

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:45.159
<v Speaker 4>route is not something that was always taught like now

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 4>it is, but before it wasn't something that was always

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 4>like a sexy thing to do.

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 5>But it's important. It's important. So let me ask you this.

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 4>All right, So the Airbnb, right, because we're going to

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 4>talk about the airbnb and detailed. And it's interesting, I

0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 4>didn't even know that you can actually airbnb an apartment

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 4>or home and not actually own it like I thought

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 4>you had to like be the owner of the property

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.280
<v Speaker 4>and then cause it's like I didn't know you can

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 4>actually do that. So before anything, right, can you explain

0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 4>the differences between okay, the different types of Airbnb's, like

0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 4>as far as owner occupied and renting, and like how

0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 4>those work?

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 3>Is it like a subleasing type situation?

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 2>So are you saying the difference between so.

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Like if I own this house, yeah, like if I

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 4>own this house as opposed to somebody else owns the

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 4>house and then I'm coming in and I'm renting it.

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So let's use this house for example. So you

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 2>own this house. So, like I said, there's a few

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 2>ways that you can go through Airbnb when it comes

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 2>to knowing how to do the lease. So the owner

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>could say, hey, I have this house and it might

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 2>be up for the same thing with short term and

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 2>long term leasing. It might be up for twelve hundred

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 2>a month. Then I might come in, I might see

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 2>that same property on the MLS or something. The MLS

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.120
<v Speaker 2>is the real estate site where people go look for houses.

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>So I might say, hey, I wanna use this property

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 2>for Airbnb and explain to you the difference between your

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>short term and long term leasing. And this is considered

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 2>master leasing. So I'm gonna come to you and I'm

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna say, hey, I have I'll have my master leasing

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 2>contract with leasing. So master leasing is like say I

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 2>have five properties already, or just say I had one,

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.320
<v Speaker 2>or say I had two and I'm gonna continue to

0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 2>keep adding. So it's like master leasing these different places.

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 2>That's how that's how master releasing works. So I'm gonna

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 2>come to you as the owner. I'm gonna say, hey,

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I have these two other properties. This is what I

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 2>make off these properties. I don't have any issues with parties.

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't have any issues with bad guests. I do

0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 2>major screening, deep screening. So what do you think?

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 5>Okay?

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:46.839
<v Speaker 2>And that's that's the approach when it comes to master lease.

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Of course, it gets deeper when you talk about contracts

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 2>because there's different kind of mass releasing contracts as you

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 2>can use. But generally speaking, that's just what it is. Hey,

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 2>this is my portfolio. What do you think?

0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 3>So just from a number standpoint, Let's hypothetically say that

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:04.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm paying one thousand dollars rent, right, I can list

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 3>that property that I'm renting for two thousand dollars or

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.319
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean? Like, how does that work

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 3>form a number standpoint?

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.959
<v Speaker 2>Okay? So are you so we want we want to

0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 2>talk about this house. So when it comes you have

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 2>to specify the difference between short term and long term leasing.

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 2>So like I said, if you were the owner of

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 2>the unit of this property, and you had this unit

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.560
<v Speaker 2>up for one thousand dollars a month for a long

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.079
<v Speaker 2>term a tenant, meaning hey, this tenant is going to

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 2>pay one thousand dollars for a twelve month lease. Versus Airbnb,

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.560
<v Speaker 2>I can say, hey, I'm gonna put this up on

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 2>a short term mental platform and I can literally do

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 2>this thousand dollars within a week. So what you're making

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 2>in a month on long term leasing, I'm doing in

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 2>a week.

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 3>So I'm a profit if that is the case, right,

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.360
<v Speaker 3>and I'm doing that one thousand dollars a week, I

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 3>profit three thousand dollars an inn.

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 4>So but all right, that makes sense. But so it's like, okay,

0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 4>if I want to just rent a home, right usually

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.240
<v Speaker 4>I just get a tenant. I want to charge them

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 4>a thousand dollars a month. They sign a one year

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 4>at least with me, and they obligated to pay me

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 4>one thousand dollars a month. Right, I get That's easy.

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 4>Everybody understands that. But now it's like you're coming and

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.760
<v Speaker 4>you're saying, wait, don't do that. I'm gonna come as

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 4>an Airbnb host.

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 2>No, So what I'm saying is I'm gonna do the

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.800
<v Speaker 2>same thing that you just said, except I'm gonna put

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>it up for Airbnb. So now when you talk about

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 2>master releasing, is it becomes a point where you have

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 2>to pay the play. So I might you might have

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 2>to ze it up for a one thousand dollars, but

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I might need to convince you that I want to

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 2>put it up on a short term. It's a platform.

0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 2>So I might say, hey, let me give you fourteen

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.720
<v Speaker 2>hundred a month. Okay, see what I'm saying, and now

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go put it up on the platform. Let

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 2>me give you fourteen hundred a month. Your deposit might

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 2>be half the rent, so your deposit might be five hundred. Okay,

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 2>bet let me give you an eight hundred dollars deposit.

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 3>All right, So we got that part. But let's go

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 3>back just for a second. How do I even become

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 3>an air and bb host.

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 2>It's just so people's that's where a lot of people

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>get they they don't really know. It's really just going

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 2>on the website and becoming a host.

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 3>That's it.

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:55.679
<v Speaker 2>That's it.

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 5>Creator, user name, password profile.

0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.640
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to do that loggy with your Google

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 2>logging in your host.

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 5>And your host without any problem, probably the host right now.

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, you have to list a property. Okay, yep,

0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:09.199
<v Speaker 2>you have to have at least one to become.

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't have to be a home. It could be

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 3>a room.

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.080
<v Speaker 2>It could be a room, it could be a room

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:13.680
<v Speaker 2>in this house.

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.319
<v Speaker 3>So we sold that story on an episode of How

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 3>MBB Was Founded.

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 5>It was started out with.

0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 3>Yes in the room.

0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so all right, So okay, so if I have okay,

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:24.560
<v Speaker 4>so you come to me, you say, okay, I'm not

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 4>gonna give you a thousand dollars a month. I'm gonna

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.760
<v Speaker 4>sign a year least for fourteen hundred, right, which, okay,

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.200
<v Speaker 4>now I'm getting fifty forty percent more than what I

0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 4>would have gotten. But now you're in control of you

0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 4>can make as much money as you want from the airbnb.

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:40.719
<v Speaker 5>Get it.

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 4>So now you have to pay that fourteen hundred dollars

0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 4>a month, no matter what exactly. So our owners open

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 4>to that because it's like, now it's one thing to

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 4>have one person living in your place, but now you

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 4>got ten people a month.

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 5>Maybe if you're saying, like, what's the so one.

0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Thing you have to understand about that that's what any business.

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.959
<v Speaker 2>Everybody's not gonna tell you. Yes, I haven't been told yes.

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 2>All the time you run into those right people, those

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 2>white people will tell you yes, that's how I feel

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.040
<v Speaker 2>about it. There are different people. But like I said,

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.200
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to even with my apartment, with my

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.440
<v Speaker 2>apartment buildings, I still do screening. So you need to

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 2>have your email address on your profile. You need to

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.120
<v Speaker 2>have your profile picture, you need to have your phone number,

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:24.400
<v Speaker 2>you need to have your government ID uploaded. Everything needs

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 2>to be on there. Before you book my place. You

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 2>won't be able to book unless you have all four

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 2>of those credentials. So then when you talk about different

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 2>people coming in and out, it becomes a it's a

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 2>risk anyway, it's a risk with a long term tenante.

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 2>You don't know this person. It's a complete stranger.

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so the long term turn it Usually when you rent,

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 3>you have to get some type of insurance. Is it

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 3>the same for airbnb? If I do it that.

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Way, so you have to have insurance, you don't.

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 5>You don't have that insurance to rent.

0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 2>No, you don't have to have insurance to rent. But

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:50.920
<v Speaker 2>if I have a place, I have to have insurance.

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 2>But you don't have to have insurance to rent a place.

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 4>No, you don't, and you have to but the deposit.

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 4>So it's just it's just like renting a regular apartment

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 4>just a little bit more. But so you're just subleasing it.

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because you're gonna make triple if you think about it.

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 4>So it's really like, so it's a win win for

0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 4>everybody because you're gonna pay, You're gonna pay the own

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:09.760
<v Speaker 4>You always have to pay the owner.

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 2>More anyway, you don't have to because you have some

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 2>owners that will be like, Okay, a thousand is fine.

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 2>You people don't understand in the real estate industry, the

0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>market is so it's saturated, but it's not. So then

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.679
<v Speaker 2>you run into those owners that are like, look, I

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.360
<v Speaker 2>just want to get this property. I just want to

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 2>make income off of it. Because then there comes a

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 2>point a time where some landlords are not even making money.

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.679
<v Speaker 2>So like this house, they probably just throw it up

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.199
<v Speaker 2>for Airbnb because they probably wasn't making anything off of it.

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 2>And I can honestly tell that about the furniture that's

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 2>in it. They get in the business to scale it.

0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like, dang, this house probably not I couldn't find

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 2>a long term tenant, it's probably the area. It could

0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 2>be the house, it could be the design, the structure,

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 2>could be anything.

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 4>So that's why I was gonna ask you as far

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 4>as all right, so as far as the regular person

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 4>off the sheet that just wants to get involved in Airbnb, right,

0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 4>how do you know? Because it's like you sign a

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 4>one year a lease, but you're not planning on living there.

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.320
<v Speaker 4>It's a risk if you can't, So like, how do

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, Like this is something that I'm definitely gonna

0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.600
<v Speaker 4>be able to get off on Airbnb? Like, how do

0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:13.840
<v Speaker 4>you Is it the area? Is it the location? The

0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 4>like what's what's the most important?

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Are you saying making just making rent?

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 3>I guess like the determining factors to say, like I'm

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 3>gonna go a deal.

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Area the so let's talk about houses. The area is

0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 2>really the most essential thing. Where's the grocery store, Where's

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 2>the nearest mall, where's the airport, where's the nearest movie theater,

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 2>where are the amenities? Where's the leader of activity? There

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 2>are some houses that are off, like for instance, the

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 2>south side of Atlanta, there's houses that's off, but they

0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 2>probably get booked maybe every weekend and then with houses,

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 2>you also have to understand the seasons. People aren't Families

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 2>aren't traveling all throughout the year. You get holiday season.

0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Families are traveling. That's it. Houses habits down seas and

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 2>versus apartments. Like with my units, those corporate guys are

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.440
<v Speaker 2>always traveling like they have to work regardless, They're not

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.120
<v Speaker 2>coming to stay in a five bedroom house. They're not

0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 2>coming to stay here. You guys are working. But how

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 2>many podcasts literally come through where it's four people when

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.000
<v Speaker 2>they need a three bedroom too bad? You see, we

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 2>see what I'm saying. So then you can, as a

0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 2>regular person coming off the street to answer your question,

0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:25.000
<v Speaker 2>I to just starting off with apartments because it's easier,

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 2>it's cheaper, you're furnishing, it's not as much as furnishing

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 2>the house.

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was just thinking in my head, like you

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.160
<v Speaker 3>do both. You own some properties and you rent exactly

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 3>from which standpoint you're seeing now, like renting the properties easy,

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 3>it's less risk.

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's less risk. And then when it comes to

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 2>buying you if you already don't have a property under

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 2>a mortgage, I don't suggest going to get a mortgage

0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 2>to put a property up for your BnB, because think

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 2>about it, If you have a two hundred thousand dollars mortgage,

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 2>how long is gonna take you to make your money bag?

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 3>It's beau.

0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 2>If you already have a property and you're like, maybe

0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm out of town, or maybe I'm moving on the

0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:03.880
<v Speaker 2>other side of town, but I don't want to let

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:05.840
<v Speaker 2>my house go, or got time to sell it.

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:07.880
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you want to switch that property after the year

0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 3>at leases up.

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, or maybe you want some extra income. You got

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.600
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of different options there, So you get those

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 2>people that are like, hey, I just want to do

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 2>something with this house and it doesn't take you don't

0:16:19.400 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 2>really know when to find a long term tenant. Then

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 2>you get a wait list with long term tenants. People

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 2>don't pass background checks, people don't make the deposit income,

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.000
<v Speaker 2>they don't got income. It's all kinds of stuff that comes

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 2>with finding a long term tenant that people don't realize.

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 4>So you would suggest, okay, if somebody was looking to

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 4>get into airbnb, it makes more sense to do it

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 4>the subleasing right as opposed to like buying a place

0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 4>just for the purpose of air being right.

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Correct, and it's gonna tell you a lot longer to

0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.040
<v Speaker 3>get the money back. Makes sense, makes sense.

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:49.160
<v Speaker 2>I've honestly never seen anybody do it that way.

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 5>You've never seen a nobody buy something.

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen somebody go buy something to go put

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 2>up at Airbnb. Never even the huge corporations that are

0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 2>here that's short term leasing. They're subleasing.

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.600
<v Speaker 5>So there's corporations that do what you do pretty much.

0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they have them up on all the platforms. There's

0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:09.720
<v Speaker 2>other platforms too, besides Airbnb. There's home away, there's vrbo,

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.160
<v Speaker 2>there's booking dot Com, trip Advisor, all those two.

0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.679
<v Speaker 3>So those corporations that come in, they're not they're not

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 3>getting one property. They're getting maybe six to twelve properties

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:19.960
<v Speaker 3>out of time.

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 4>Yep, okay, So like what's the what's the profit margins?

0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 4>Like if you all right, let's say a house costs

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.920
<v Speaker 4>one thousand dollars, how much can a person realistically make

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.240
<v Speaker 4>in a month? Like is it three times? Like what's

0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.200
<v Speaker 4>the goal? Actually, that's the better question. What's the goal?

0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 4>Like you can say, Okay, I'm gonna pay a thousand,

0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:38.439
<v Speaker 4>but I want to get no less than three thousand,

0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:39.440
<v Speaker 4>Like is it something like that?

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:43.479
<v Speaker 2>So let me tell you something about the business and

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm gonna look at the camera and say this.

0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 2>It's not a business that you get into and you

0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 2>start profiting thirty grand just because you got five units.

0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.399
<v Speaker 2>That's not how it works. The platform is for you

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.159
<v Speaker 2>to progress. So I started with my first month and

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 2>I might have made fifteen hundred dollars. Second month, I

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 2>might have made three thousand. My third month, I might

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.560
<v Speaker 2>have made four thousand. My fifth month, I might have

0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 2>did ten grand. So it's a business that where you

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 2>can grow into Some people they look at my page

0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:12.920
<v Speaker 2>and they look at my business. They're like, Oh, that's

0:18:12.920 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 2>what I want to do. Oh she's doing this, Oh

0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 2>she's doing that, and they don't know what it took

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 2>for me to get there. So I didn't start off

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 2>making thirty or forty grand a month.

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:21.400
<v Speaker 3>That's not how it works.

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you have to you And then the thing about Airbnb,

0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 2>you become there's a status that you've become. It's called

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.480
<v Speaker 2>a SuperHost status. The superhostatus puts you up in the algorithm.

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 2>So when I say algorithm, I mean say you're going

0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.280
<v Speaker 2>out of town and you're searching on booking dot Com

0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 2>or Airbnb. You might see thirty pages. Who going to

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 2>the thirtieth page.

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:44.720
<v Speaker 5>Algorithm the top.

0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 2>That's the biggest thing on Airbnb is to be in

0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:49.399
<v Speaker 2>the algorithm. If you're not in the algorithm, you're not

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:49.920
<v Speaker 2>getting booked.

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:50.520
<v Speaker 3>How do you get there?

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.879
<v Speaker 2>You there's a lot of different things just with listing

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.360
<v Speaker 2>their property. It's hard to say do this, do that, honestly,

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the algorithm, there's is different things

0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 2>you have to know as a host that needs to

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.280
<v Speaker 2>be done or needs to be listed properly on your unit,

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.000
<v Speaker 2>on your listing. Okay, so when it comes to the

0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:11.200
<v Speaker 2>algorithm itself, you have the SuperHost status. Superhosts are already

0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:12.280
<v Speaker 2>up in the algorithm.

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.120
<v Speaker 5>And what's the SuperHost The.

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:17.119
<v Speaker 2>SuperHost it's a ninety day assessment, so once you get it,

0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 2>you have to maintain it. You don't get it and

0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.000
<v Speaker 2>then keep it. You have to keep maintaining it every quarter,

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:23.720
<v Speaker 2>so they do it every every ninety days. There's a

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:26.879
<v Speaker 2>SuperHost assessment, so you have to have you only have

0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:30.000
<v Speaker 2>one cancelation every three hundred and sixty five days. Literally

0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:33.639
<v Speaker 2>you're on pins and needles for a year or you

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 2>lose it. So you won't get SuperHost status if.

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 3>You cancel that's really somebody else can know.

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:41.960
<v Speaker 2>If you can't sol the cats, canceling has nothing to

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:46.480
<v Speaker 2>do with it. You cancel. So, like you said, the leaks, maintenance,

0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.440
<v Speaker 2>maybe housekeeping didn't show up those kind of things. Complaints,

0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:51.720
<v Speaker 2>complaints in regard to.

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.919
<v Speaker 5>What like if somebody complaints talk about your airbnb, No, if.

0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:56.880
<v Speaker 2>They if they ever occupy your unit, it won't count.

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so once they open the door, that's it.

0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:00.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:03.439
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Now, not because you're up, but you said that

0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 3>you went from a three thousand to six down to

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.159
<v Speaker 3>ten thousand, and you talked to us off camera about

0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:13.119
<v Speaker 3>having that mindset of scaling business. Yes, what are some

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:16.160
<v Speaker 3>things that helped scale? Right? Because you walked in here

0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.960
<v Speaker 3>today you're like, well, yeah, okay, look your vision was

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:20.400
<v Speaker 3>a lot different from when we walked.

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 2>In, right. So when it comes to scaling, you have

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.879
<v Speaker 2>to have automated systems in place. That is it with

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:26.679
<v Speaker 2>your systems?

0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 5>So like, what kind of automated housekeeping.

0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Automated system So, and I'm gonna be completely transparent. Housekeeping

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:38.240
<v Speaker 2>was the biggest downfall of my business twenty nineteen. I

0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:41.600
<v Speaker 2>hated housekeeping. So housekeeping is the most important, it's the

0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:43.439
<v Speaker 2>most essential thing to the airbnb business.

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Why was it the worst? Is like you go actually

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:46.359
<v Speaker 3>going in and do No.

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:48.480
<v Speaker 2>It was the volume that I was having and happened

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.600
<v Speaker 2>to have a housekeeper keep up with my volume. So

0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I was running through. My turnover rate for housekeepers were

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:54.960
<v Speaker 2>like it was crazy, Like I was looking for a

0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:57.960
<v Speaker 2>new housekeeper every week. So sometimes I might have six checkouts.

0:20:58.680 --> 0:21:01.919
<v Speaker 2>And then you have to understand is checkout is at eleven,

0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 2>check in is at three, So it might take the

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.400
<v Speaker 2>housekeeper because you gotta do lanning, you gotta wash linten,

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:09.640
<v Speaker 2>and you got to dry it. So it normally takes

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.840
<v Speaker 2>a minimum two hours. So now between eleven and three,

0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.120
<v Speaker 2>I got six properties that need to be cleaned. Three

0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:17.919
<v Speaker 2>of those might got another check in coming in. So

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.520
<v Speaker 2>what if I only have one housekeeper who's gon to

0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:22.240
<v Speaker 2>clean those other two properties that has another check in?

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:24.040
<v Speaker 2>Those those three that didn't have a check in, I

0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:26.160
<v Speaker 2>might can get those tomorrow. But then that's the reason

0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:27.680
<v Speaker 2>because what if somebody wants to book that night?

0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:29.760
<v Speaker 3>So what do you do? Do you find more than

0:21:29.800 --> 0:21:31.919
<v Speaker 3>one or you find a company of housekeepers? What are

0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:32.119
<v Speaker 3>you doing?

0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:34.560
<v Speaker 2>So now I've come to the point. At first I

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 2>was using housekeepers from different companies, or I would just

0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 2>post on my Instagram like hey I need a housekeeper.

0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:41.120
<v Speaker 2>But then when I had to realize, hey, I'm running

0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 2>a hospitality company. It's not just a sweep of a

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 2>broom or wiping off the counters or cleaning a toilet.

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:47.760
<v Speaker 2>It's different. You have to stay sing in it. House

0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:51.280
<v Speaker 2>is a tissue full are the is the shampoo, the conditioner,

0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 2>and the soap. Out is the paper towels on Like

0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 2>housekeepers that would do something like leave a quarter of

0:21:57.040 --> 0:21:58.760
<v Speaker 2>a row tissue in the bathroom.

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:03.920
<v Speaker 5>Those It goes a long way.

0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:06.360
<v Speaker 2>What I'm saying, make sure coffee and creamer out.

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:08.840
<v Speaker 5>May make sure you have wash cloths.

0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Everything at least another.

0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Speak with coming. Yeah, yeah, I mean we've been in

0:22:13.600 --> 0:22:14.120
<v Speaker 3>some of the things.

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:17.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, some people don't believe in wash cloths. I noticed

0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:21.280
<v Speaker 4>when you go to mb you never you know who

0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 4>you know who owns the airbnb.

0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:26.160
<v Speaker 5>If they don't have washed it's a fact. It's strange.

0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:29.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. So my question now is right, so when you

0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 3>when you hire a company of cleaners, right, if you

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:35.359
<v Speaker 3>keep using them, does it help now with the costs?

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 3>You now make a deal to say, you know what

0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:39.400
<v Speaker 3>we've been using you or we got so many properties,

0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 3>Now can you cut the costs a little bit.

0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:43.520
<v Speaker 2>So now when I talk about automated systems, when I

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:45.440
<v Speaker 2>say the mistakes that I made. Now I've come to

0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:47.200
<v Speaker 2>the point where I needed my own housekeeping company.

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:49.080
<v Speaker 3>You create your own yes, So now I have my

0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:49.480
<v Speaker 3>I have.

0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 2>My own housekeeping. So the things that I was trying

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:53.960
<v Speaker 2>to do is support somebody else's business. That was my

0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:56.200
<v Speaker 2>thing because I already had the airbnb b business going.

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:58.439
<v Speaker 2>So it's like, let me just find maybe you know,

0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:03.200
<v Speaker 2>somebody that could clean for me. But then it became

0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 2>a point in time like, oh no, this is not

0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 2>working because they don't take my business as serious as

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:08.639
<v Speaker 2>I do. So now I need to find somebody to

0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:11.440
<v Speaker 2>put on my own payroll for housekeeping. And that's that's

0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:13.360
<v Speaker 2>how it started the automated sentence. Now you only work

0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:15.080
<v Speaker 2>for me. Now I don't have to worry about you saying,

0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:16.639
<v Speaker 2>oh I got to go clean this property over here

0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:18.760
<v Speaker 2>on the south side, or oh I gotta I got

0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:20.680
<v Speaker 2>another job. No you don't, it's.

0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:25.359
<v Speaker 4>All my so a real bull. So you have an

0:23:25.359 --> 0:23:27.760
<v Speaker 4>in house cleaning service, yep.

0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:30.560
<v Speaker 2>And I just did that within two three months, and.

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:31.800
<v Speaker 5>How many cleaners do you have?

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Only three? But it's enough right now.

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 3>Right now?

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:39.480
<v Speaker 5>So and they only work for your property, only work

0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 5>for my properties.

0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:42.800
<v Speaker 3>That's Dope's twenty three y'all.

0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:45.520
<v Speaker 4>Now that makes sense because it's like it's like you

0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:49.040
<v Speaker 4>gotta from a convenience level. Yeah, and you got to

0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:51.639
<v Speaker 4>spend that money anyway, So like you said, why not

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:55.480
<v Speaker 4>spend it where it's on your watch as opposed to

0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:58.720
<v Speaker 4>somebody else's watch. And now you cut out the nonsense.

0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:04.119
<v Speaker 2>And then when you talk about costs normally, so like

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:09.320
<v Speaker 2>normally housekeepers charge like seven or eighty dollars for if so,

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 2>just say you wanted your own apartment clean, they might

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 2>charge you eighty dollars for one by one bath. I'm

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:16.680
<v Speaker 2>not paying that if you clean ten of my units

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 2>in one day. So now hey, let's what about fifty five?

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 2>So now I only pay fifty forty five to fifty

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 2>five depending on the cleaner, for each unit, which is

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 2>not bad because I charged my guests ninety so that the.

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:32.359
<v Speaker 3>Cleaning service is put inside of the rental.

0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:34.760
<v Speaker 2>The reservation exactly. So you guys paid a clean and fee.

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, so you get paid on that. You get

0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:39.600
<v Speaker 4>paid on it on.

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:39.919
<v Speaker 3>The back end.

0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:42.399
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I just thought about that. You gotta get the

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:42.920
<v Speaker 5>cleaning fee.

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:44.159
<v Speaker 2>I need that cat out of you.

0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:51.400
<v Speaker 4>I just thought about it. Get some body off front

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:51.679
<v Speaker 4>and on the.

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:53.000
<v Speaker 5>Back we got.

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:56.199
<v Speaker 3>We got, We got the cleaning service. Right. What are

0:24:56.240 --> 0:24:58.680
<v Speaker 3>some other automated systems that we have in place? Because

0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:00.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking at cleaning that's a check What else.

0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:03.399
<v Speaker 2>We gonta do so check in having a lock box?

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 2>So you guys had a code on the door that

0:25:05.800 --> 0:25:09.679
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work everywhere. Remind you, but it is automated system

0:25:09.880 --> 0:25:11.440
<v Speaker 2>because I don't have to then go meet the guests,

0:25:11.640 --> 0:25:13.439
<v Speaker 2>because I do have some units for my assistant has

0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:14.880
<v Speaker 2>to go actually meet them to check in.

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we had a situation with a lock box.

0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:19.840
<v Speaker 5>And it always got killed, almost got killed.

0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Thanks. Yeah, now we they We went to LA and

0:25:24.320 --> 0:25:26.719
<v Speaker 3>we did an airbnb and we got in late, like

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:29.119
<v Speaker 3>twelve two in the morning, and the lock box was

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 3>in the middle of an hour in LA and we're

0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:34.879
<v Speaker 3>sitting there shot. He's trying to get the lock box open.

0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:37.240
<v Speaker 3>He can't get it open. So like we're pulled into

0:25:37.280 --> 0:25:39.960
<v Speaker 3>an alley, lights on. We see people down the alley

0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:42.320
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like damn all right, we left the alley,

0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:43.720
<v Speaker 3>came back, and I made that's not the right one

0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 3>we came so we came back, So go back to

0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:47.280
<v Speaker 3>the same alley. He's back at the box. Now. I

0:25:47.320 --> 0:25:50.600
<v Speaker 3>see two people at the end of the alley. I'm like, Shoty,

0:25:50.640 --> 0:25:52.639
<v Speaker 3>somebody coming this way, bro, And he's like, yo, just

0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:55.360
<v Speaker 3>keep a eye on him. I'm like, his back's turned.

0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:58.240
<v Speaker 3>They walk into me and they walk up to me,

0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:01.600
<v Speaker 3>and this dude flashes a gun and I'm like, in

0:26:01.680 --> 0:26:03.639
<v Speaker 3>the alley, this dude's back is turn he's trying to

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 3>unlock the box.

0:26:04.760 --> 0:26:07.000
<v Speaker 4>Now he pulled the burn out on the fact. He

0:26:07.040 --> 0:26:09.320
<v Speaker 4>asked him what said he was banging and he's like

0:26:09.440 --> 0:26:11.120
<v Speaker 4>he's like, you know that gang banging. We're just doing

0:26:11.119 --> 0:26:12.120
<v Speaker 4>a financial.

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:14.040
<v Speaker 2>Listen, y.

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:16.159
<v Speaker 3>It was crazy. It was like the most It was

0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:18.880
<v Speaker 3>the craziest moment because like his back was turned. He's like, Yo,

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:20.919
<v Speaker 3>what set you claiming? I'm like, yo, bro, we just

0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:23.560
<v Speaker 3>we just hit on some Like I don't know what

0:26:23.600 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 3>you're doing. So then he said I and walked off,

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:28.679
<v Speaker 3>and like ten seconds later, shot, You're like, Yo, what

0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 3>do you want.

0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Where was the actual apartment.

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:35.240
<v Speaker 3>It was across the street.

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 2>So that's not that's not that wasn't a unit where

0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:40.240
<v Speaker 2>you can do something. That was a lazy landlord.

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I was crazy. Never threw a that was dangerous.

0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:46.440
<v Speaker 5>That was bad. Yeah.

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:48.080
<v Speaker 2>See that probably had to get into where you couldn't

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:49.879
<v Speaker 2>put a lock box on the door. So they're like, oh,

0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 2>y'all coming in at two o'clock in the morning, there's

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:53.480
<v Speaker 2>no way I can check y'all in.

0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And that was crazy. It was a crazy moment,

0:26:56.800 --> 0:26:59.560
<v Speaker 3>but l A was good to Luckily we made it out. Yeah.

0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:04.120
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, So having self checking units or just checking

0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:10.439
<v Speaker 2>concierge period is another automated system. What's another automated system. Inventory.

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:14.639
<v Speaker 2>I've learned to automate inventory because you have to keep

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 2>you have to be sure. So the way that I

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.560
<v Speaker 2>have mind setup is I'll have a box for my housekeepers,

0:27:19.560 --> 0:27:21.639
<v Speaker 2>and I'll have a box for my large storage for

0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 2>my clients as well. So I might keep fifty rows

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:27.520
<v Speaker 2>of tissue in twenty rows of pepper towels in the

0:27:27.600 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 2>large box in the storage, but in the unit, I

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:33.240
<v Speaker 2>might only keep five pepper towels and ten tissues. So

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:35.320
<v Speaker 2>now when my housekeepers are coming, just say I have

0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:38.120
<v Speaker 2>somebody comes stay Monday and Tuesday, they check out Tuesday.

0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Then I have somebody come in Wednesday, they check out Friday.

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:43.679
<v Speaker 2>Now my housekeepers are not worried about going back to

0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 2>the large storage to get inventory. It's already in the unit.

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 2>So it kind of if I was to write it down,

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:53.679
<v Speaker 2>it'll and show you. You'll see what I'm saying. But

0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:56.439
<v Speaker 2>basically I'm saying, I don't have to worry about them

0:27:56.880 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 2>after every checkout figuring out where's tissu, where's paper tote.

0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:06.080
<v Speaker 3>You're supplies already, so we're talking about tissue, paper, towel, coffee.

0:28:06.119 --> 0:28:11.439
<v Speaker 3>If you've done it right, creamer, you know what. Some

0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:12.800
<v Speaker 3>some of the ones we stayed and didn't leave us

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:14.160
<v Speaker 3>any of that, but we we ain't going thro anybody

0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 3>under the bus.

0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:17.080
<v Speaker 4>It's dope, man. And like you said, I mean, it's

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:20.360
<v Speaker 4>keeping it all in house. And it only makes sense

0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:23.560
<v Speaker 4>because it's all relates to the business. Like it's like

0:28:23.680 --> 0:28:26.800
<v Speaker 4>if you got to get your tires repaired. Now if

0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:28.679
<v Speaker 4>they can fix your window too, it's like, you know,

0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:30.760
<v Speaker 4>it's easy as opposed to like, all right, you got

0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:32.480
<v Speaker 4>to go for the one mechanic for one thing another

0:28:32.520 --> 0:28:33.480
<v Speaker 4>mechanic for another thing.

0:28:33.760 --> 0:28:34.960
<v Speaker 5>You can do everything in house.

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:38.120
<v Speaker 3>What about long long care? Is that something that is

0:28:38.160 --> 0:28:39.160
<v Speaker 3>in your systems for.

0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Our two houses? Yeah, but that's not often because there's

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:46.440
<v Speaker 2>really no grass that kind of house. Yeah, it's on

0:28:46.520 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 2>a college campus on Georgia takes campus and those kids,

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:50.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't care.

0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:54.640
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy. So you are you are a college student

0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 3>and you had a nb's on.

0:28:55.760 --> 0:28:57.200
<v Speaker 2>College a college campus.

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:03.160
<v Speaker 4>Use you was trapping out of campus, just trapping out

0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:05.959
<v Speaker 4>the band though. So all right, so now we got

0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:07.880
<v Speaker 4>that that was a bunch of education. We're gonna go

0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 4>into some some some dudes and don'ts for the airbnb

0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:13.440
<v Speaker 4>industry in the next segment and some more's gang.

0:29:14.160 --> 0:29:14.560
<v Speaker 5>All right.

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 4>So one question that I had was like, so the

0:29:17.840 --> 0:29:20.520
<v Speaker 4>regular homeowner. I got that somebody wants to just rent

0:29:20.520 --> 0:29:22.560
<v Speaker 4>their home or the apartment if they own it whatever.

0:29:23.280 --> 0:29:26.960
<v Speaker 4>But when you talk about like these apartment buildings where

0:29:27.000 --> 0:29:29.680
<v Speaker 4>nobody owns them, they're just like park whether it's luxury

0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:32.200
<v Speaker 4>or just the regular apartment building, but the it's owned

0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:34.200
<v Speaker 4>by like a corporation that owns the building, and you

0:29:34.400 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 4>but you can still airbnb that, Like, how does that?

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:39.040
<v Speaker 4>Who do you approach because you don't approach the owner,

0:29:39.160 --> 0:29:40.640
<v Speaker 4>like how does that work? And this is I just

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 4>want to make this claar too, Like every state is different.

0:29:42.880 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 4>We're in Georgia right now, so you know obviously, I

0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 4>know LA is kind of cracking down Boston, So this

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:50.160
<v Speaker 4>conversation is good. A lot of the stuff can be

0:29:50.200 --> 0:29:52.760
<v Speaker 4>geared towards everything, but this probably would be geared towards

0:29:52.800 --> 0:29:55.040
<v Speaker 4>where we're at now. In Atlanta, you have to check

0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:57.240
<v Speaker 4>your own states and cities. But like in Atlanta, right,

0:29:57.240 --> 0:29:58.400
<v Speaker 4>how does that work?

0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:02.000
<v Speaker 2>So in Atlanta, we don't have any regulations here yet

0:30:02.160 --> 0:30:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to move. The reason that regulations are

0:30:06.480 --> 0:30:09.000
<v Speaker 2>in place are due to people having those large parties.

0:30:10.640 --> 0:30:12.720
<v Speaker 2>There's some crazy things that go on in the airbnb

0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:14.920
<v Speaker 2>energy that people don't realize, Like it gets deeper than

0:30:14.960 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 2>just checking in and checking out guests. You get to

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:19.120
<v Speaker 2>a point where, like, for instance, one of my units,

0:30:19.280 --> 0:30:21.840
<v Speaker 2>my housekeeper went in and there was blood everywhere. WHOA

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:24.560
<v Speaker 2>So she called me like she was literally she was afraid.

0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 2>My assistant called me, She's like LEXI, and I'm like,

0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:28.760
<v Speaker 2>what's going on? It was the first time I've had.

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:30.480
<v Speaker 3>It happened when they checked in it was no, no, no.

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 2>When the housekeeper went to clean.

0:30:31.760 --> 0:30:33.840
<v Speaker 3>Ah the housekeeper okay, okay, okay, there.

0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Was blood everywhere. So you have those different things where

0:30:36.720 --> 0:30:38.719
<v Speaker 2>the government wants to regulate and then of course they

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:40.920
<v Speaker 2>don't get paid off us. There's people on the on

0:30:40.960 --> 0:30:43.640
<v Speaker 2>the platform that's making a million dollars, five million dollars,

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 2>and the government gets none of it. So you know

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:47.720
<v Speaker 2>how they are. They want a piece of everybody's pie.

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:50.880
<v Speaker 2>So when it comes to those regulations those states, they

0:30:50.880 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 2>have their reasons why, whether it's for tax regulations, whether

0:30:53.920 --> 0:30:55.920
<v Speaker 2>it's for those So here in Atlanta, I know we

0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:58.320
<v Speaker 2>have this thing where even in our manches, people want

0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:00.400
<v Speaker 2>to have those large parties and then you have noahbors.

0:31:00.480 --> 0:31:03.040
<v Speaker 2>The cars are parked all in the kudasac like those

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Those are all different reasons the regulations come about. So

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:10.640
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to the luxury apartments, it's really hard

0:31:10.640 --> 0:31:13.000
<v Speaker 2>for them to regulate it here because none of those

0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 2>issues are really going on besides the tax regulations, which

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:17.560
<v Speaker 2>is government controlled.

0:31:17.200 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 3>Now where we live, like obviously, having subleasing sometimes is

0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:24.120
<v Speaker 3>frowned upon. What's that like here in.

0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta subleasing like the luxury apartment. Yeah, so there. So

0:31:28.480 --> 0:31:31.400
<v Speaker 2>to your question, Alex, there's there's units where they don't

0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:36.000
<v Speaker 2>care about you doing it, but you're not supposed to.

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 2>So like there's a few buildings here in Atlanta to

0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:42.120
<v Speaker 2>where they don't really care like you can they know

0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:44.959
<v Speaker 2>the whole building is Airbnb, Like, don't overtroy me, I'm

0:31:45.000 --> 0:31:45.720
<v Speaker 2>coming here and apply.

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:47.760
<v Speaker 3>It's they got new tenants every three days.

0:31:47.800 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 4>Yes, but like how does that work though, Like do

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:52.800
<v Speaker 4>you have to actually apply for the apartment like you're

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 4>renting it yourself.

0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so you would. You would go in apply regular

0:31:56.040 --> 0:31:59.160
<v Speaker 2>as if you're renting it yourself and you furnish it.

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:10.120

<v Speaker 3>pushing your vision forward.

0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:54.000
<v Speaker 2>If it was an airbnb, you know, like not as

0:33:54.040 --> 0:33:55.720
<v Speaker 2>if you were living in it, as if somebody was

0:33:55.720 --> 0:33:57.720
<v Speaker 2>coming to stay in for a few days. You do

0:33:57.760 --> 0:34:00.040
<v Speaker 2>everything that time is if you were moving in. I

0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:00.880
<v Speaker 2>think it's so hard. It's not.

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:03.280
<v Speaker 4>But you can only through that. You can't really scale

0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:05.320
<v Speaker 4>with that because it's like how many apartments can you

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:07.400
<v Speaker 4>lease under your name unless.

0:34:07.160 --> 0:34:10.000
<v Speaker 2>You do it through a company, So the company is different,

0:34:10.040 --> 0:34:12.359
<v Speaker 2>But renting amount of apartments under your name don't matter

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:15.360
<v Speaker 2>because only the increase go on your report, not the apartments.

0:34:15.360 --> 0:34:17.399
<v Speaker 2>So the apartment's only going to your credit report if

0:34:17.560 --> 0:34:19.240
<v Speaker 2>you get evicted or if you leave a balance.

0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:21.080
<v Speaker 5>So you can rent as many apartments as you want.

0:34:21.160 --> 0:34:23.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, as always you're paying as long as you're paying.

0:34:23.200 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 3>What's the so I mean, I know you have a

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:28.759
<v Speaker 3>background in credit, I do, Yeah, what what's the role

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:32.160
<v Speaker 3>that credit plays in being a part of this airbnb hoston?

0:34:32.680 --> 0:34:35.560
<v Speaker 2>So no evictions, a lot of places, no bankruptcies, and

0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:37.560
<v Speaker 2>then away from credit note, you have to have a

0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:39.759
<v Speaker 2>clear background. That's all they all that matters.

0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:41.359
<v Speaker 3>There's no minimum score or anything like that.

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Decent I think a lot. So for luxury, I think

0:34:45.560 --> 0:34:47.000
<v Speaker 2>you got to have at least like a six hundred

0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:47.920
<v Speaker 2>six twenty.

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:48.480
<v Speaker 3>That's it.

0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:51.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, isn't that bad? You got to walk in the

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:52.239
<v Speaker 2>eight fifty.

0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:55.680
<v Speaker 5>So like what about like a photography?

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 4>Like me personally, when I look at the Airbnb's, I'm

0:34:58.520 --> 0:35:01.480
<v Speaker 4>always big on like the pictures, and I'm like, some

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:04.279
<v Speaker 4>people don't have like one picture, and then some people

0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:08.600
<v Speaker 4>their pictures look crazy. I never forget Marshot and Amasia more.

0:35:09.160 --> 0:35:12.359
<v Speaker 4>We went to Asia for thirty days and we picked

0:35:12.400 --> 0:35:16.640
<v Speaker 4>the airbnb in Thailand and it was crazy like that.

0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 4>It was so crazy, like the pictures look dope. And

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:23.760
<v Speaker 4>we got there and we was driving for like five minutes,

0:35:23.760 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 4>ten minutes, fifteen twenty and it's like the back roads.

0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:31.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm like all right, and we get there and it's

0:35:31.560 --> 0:35:37.279
<v Speaker 4>a luxury apartment building in the middle of nowhere. Literally

0:35:37.480 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 4>we look out of the window and there's like kids

0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:44.120
<v Speaker 4>playing in the street with no shoes, like we're in

0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:48.439
<v Speaker 4>like we're in the trenches. Yeah, And I'm like, where

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:52.279
<v Speaker 4>did this come from? So it's like outside the pictures, No,

0:35:52.480 --> 0:35:53.480
<v Speaker 4>they didn't.

0:35:53.680 --> 0:35:54.840
<v Speaker 5>So got it?

0:35:55.239 --> 0:36:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Guard em So like from for the first question, that

0:36:00.480 --> 0:36:03.520
<v Speaker 4>I have is like photography, How important is photography? And

0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:05.480
<v Speaker 4>like what is there? Like a certain things like you

0:36:05.480 --> 0:36:07.440
<v Speaker 4>should always show your kitchen, you should throw your bat,

0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:09.600
<v Speaker 4>Like what tips can you give on that?

0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:11.840
<v Speaker 2>So let me tell you the two main contact points

0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:14.919
<v Speaker 2>for any Airbnb listing the listing title and its pictures.

0:36:15.480 --> 0:36:18.400
<v Speaker 2>So the not it's pictures, the main picture on the front.

0:36:18.800 --> 0:36:22.360
<v Speaker 2>So be careful booking airbnbs. If it doesn't show the outside,

0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:22.960
<v Speaker 2>don't book it.

0:36:23.480 --> 0:36:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Gotcha?

0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I just I was just looking at Airbnb's yesterday from Miami,

0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:30.279
<v Speaker 2>and if it didn't show the outside, I was scrolling. Right.

0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:32.880
<v Speaker 4>When you say the outside, you mean like out of

0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:34.760
<v Speaker 4>the house or like a street view or.

0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:37.640
<v Speaker 2>A picture of where I'm walking into. So for this

0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:39.759
<v Speaker 2>house on the street, I want to see how the

0:36:39.760 --> 0:36:41.600
<v Speaker 2>whole house looks. For an apartment building, I want to

0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:45.480
<v Speaker 2>see the apartment building. For a mid rise, I want

0:36:45.520 --> 0:36:48.200
<v Speaker 2>to see the mid rise. So the like I said,

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the two main contact points for Airbnb listing is its title,

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:54.239
<v Speaker 2>because these are the two first things get to see

0:36:54.239 --> 0:36:54.880
<v Speaker 2>when they're scrolling.

0:36:54.960 --> 0:36:56.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so when you put the title, you're putting first

0:36:57.000 --> 0:36:59.120
<v Speaker 3>the bedrooms and is there format?

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:03.080
<v Speaker 2>So the way I tell my clients is, don't list

0:37:03.120 --> 0:37:05.440
<v Speaker 2>the city because people already know what they're traveling to.

0:37:05.840 --> 0:37:07.880
<v Speaker 2>They only give you a certain amount of characters to

0:37:07.960 --> 0:37:10.520
<v Speaker 2>list of titles, So don't be redundant. Meaning if I

0:37:10.600 --> 0:37:12.440
<v Speaker 2>go in before you go search it for anything, you

0:37:12.480 --> 0:37:13.960
<v Speaker 2>have the type where you want to say. So if

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm typing I want to stay in Atlanta for five days,

0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:18.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to see a listen title that says

0:37:18.280 --> 0:37:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta because now my listening title is going to be

0:37:20.640 --> 0:37:21.800
<v Speaker 2>not important. Its not going to be important.

0:37:21.800 --> 0:37:22.479
<v Speaker 3>You wasted some characters.

0:37:22.760 --> 0:37:26.680
<v Speaker 2>You're wasting your characters. So with the listing title, they

0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:28.680
<v Speaker 2>see that, and then I might add a star on it.

0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:30.279
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people don't know that, so that's a tip.

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:32.640
<v Speaker 2>I might add a star on my listings, not all

0:37:32.680 --> 0:37:35.960
<v Speaker 2>of them, depending on the unit. And then the main

0:37:36.000 --> 0:37:38.960
<v Speaker 2>contact photo, which is the first photo they see. It

0:37:39.000 --> 0:37:40.520
<v Speaker 2>needs to be bright, it needs to be lit up,

0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:43.399
<v Speaker 2>doesn't need to be a lot of times it's either

0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:48.399
<v Speaker 2>the living room or the kitchen, depending on how nice

0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:49.040
<v Speaker 2>the kitchen looks.

0:37:49.080 --> 0:37:51.279
<v Speaker 3>Now, we spoke about the photography and he said that's

0:37:51.320 --> 0:37:53.600
<v Speaker 3>a good point, right obviously taking the pictures, but the

0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 3>interior design, how it looks inside is very important. You

0:37:57.520 --> 0:37:59.560
<v Speaker 3>walked in here today and you said, all right, there's

0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:02.040
<v Speaker 3>something right. You were calculating things in your head. I

0:38:02.040 --> 0:38:05.040
<v Speaker 3>saw it. Do you have an interior design background or

0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:07.200
<v Speaker 3>is there a team of people that you've built along

0:38:07.280 --> 0:38:07.800
<v Speaker 3>your journey.

0:38:08.040 --> 0:38:10.560
<v Speaker 2>So I don't have an interior designer background, but I

0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:14.120
<v Speaker 2>know how to do a little song. So I just

0:38:14.160 --> 0:38:16.760
<v Speaker 2>have an eye for the business, like this is my niche.

0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:19.359
<v Speaker 2>So when I walked in here, I was like, you know,

0:38:19.440 --> 0:38:21.359
<v Speaker 2>like that's just men. Even when though when I went

0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:23.759
<v Speaker 2>to I just came back from Utah, like I was

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:25.880
<v Speaker 2>looking for everything I saw in the pictures and everything

0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:28.759
<v Speaker 2>was there. So I'm not saying be petty or be

0:38:29.040 --> 0:38:34.319
<v Speaker 2>like looking for small things. But the interior designer things

0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:36.879
<v Speaker 2>do matter. People want to be comfortable when they come stay.

0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:39.560
<v Speaker 2>That's the main point. If you would have If you're

0:38:39.560 --> 0:38:41.280
<v Speaker 2>comfortable here, I get a five star review.

0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:43.399
<v Speaker 3>Is there a standard thing? Like? I know a lot

0:38:43.400 --> 0:38:45.759
<v Speaker 3>of times when we talk to people on alumni that

0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:48.360
<v Speaker 3>are doing real estate, to keep things standard right. We

0:38:48.400 --> 0:38:50.000
<v Speaker 3>spoke to Greg Parker. He says he has the same

0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:52.440
<v Speaker 3>pain for his door, same paint for his walls. Is

0:38:52.480 --> 0:38:54.640
<v Speaker 3>there a standard design that you have when it's your

0:38:54.680 --> 0:38:57.239
<v Speaker 3>place and we know what's staying in LEXI spot. No,

0:38:57.680 --> 0:38:58.840
<v Speaker 3>it's just all.

0:38:58.960 --> 0:39:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Because so let me let me tell you this. When

0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:02.960
<v Speaker 2>it comes to real estate, it's a little different. Greg

0:39:03.080 --> 0:39:05.160
<v Speaker 2>is right, Like I know Greg's standard. I know his

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:06.959
<v Speaker 2>is great. When I when I walk in, it's gonna

0:39:06.960 --> 0:39:08.640
<v Speaker 2>be great. It's gonna be white til on the ground.

0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 2>All the wise are gonna be and the girl's gonna

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:14.440
<v Speaker 2>be read. That's a big business. But my units, I

0:39:14.880 --> 0:39:17.640
<v Speaker 2>try to do them all different because one thing, the unit,

0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the industry is becoming saturated. Number one. Number two. If

0:39:22.760 --> 0:39:25.799
<v Speaker 2>mine is different than everyone else, it's people are gonna

0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:28.120
<v Speaker 2>book mine. So like I have a movie theater. And

0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:29.960
<v Speaker 2>it took me forever to come up with this idea.

0:39:30.600 --> 0:39:32.360
<v Speaker 2>I was like, dang, I'm tired of doing the corporate

0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:35.280
<v Speaker 2>units or just the luxury units where it's just the sofa,

0:39:36.040 --> 0:39:37.880
<v Speaker 2>a kitchen, you know, a coffee maker. I was like,

0:39:37.920 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 2>we I want to do something different. So when I

0:39:39.800 --> 0:39:42.319
<v Speaker 2>thought of the movie theater, I was like, okay, bet

0:39:42.440 --> 0:39:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I got a projector, I got a crowd moulden wall,

0:39:45.920 --> 0:39:48.359
<v Speaker 2>I got a popcorn machine. I got a tray full

0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:50.120
<v Speaker 2>of snacks. If you're at a room movie theater, this

0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:53.120
<v Speaker 2>is no, this is at a loft that I have here.

0:39:53.239 --> 0:39:55.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a loft. It's not an apartment. It's a loft.

0:39:55.080 --> 0:39:56.879
<v Speaker 3>That's what you know. We're gonna have to next time

0:39:56.880 --> 0:40:00.120
<v Speaker 3>we come back to Atlanta. Absolutely, Now that's dope. So

0:40:00.200 --> 0:40:02.800
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people sell experiences in parts of that

0:40:02.920 --> 0:40:05.319
<v Speaker 3>package as well. Exactly is that something you do as well?

0:40:05.520 --> 0:40:07.120
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't do the experience. That's like more so

0:40:07.160 --> 0:40:11.120
<v Speaker 2>of a business, like maybe doing pottery or maybe doing

0:40:11.200 --> 0:40:16.000
<v Speaker 2>something like going to get fried ice cream, photography, skateboard

0:40:16.040 --> 0:40:18.120
<v Speaker 2>and things like that. The movie theater is more so

0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:20.279
<v Speaker 2>a vibe. So like I'll get couples that come in

0:40:20.360 --> 0:40:23.480
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of anniversaries, a lot of husbands, they'll bring

0:40:23.520 --> 0:40:25.239
<v Speaker 2>their wives. I've had I know for a fact, like

0:40:25.480 --> 0:40:29.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty of those kind of reservations have people, they bring kids.

0:40:29.120 --> 0:40:32.799
<v Speaker 2>They'll have like girls night, slumber parties, those kind of

0:40:32.840 --> 0:40:35.960
<v Speaker 2>things for that unit. And then my friend Maddie, he's

0:40:35.960 --> 0:40:38.160
<v Speaker 2>also in the business. He has an arcade and his

0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:40.160
<v Speaker 2>arcade is listed at like seventeen hundred a night.

0:40:41.040 --> 0:40:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:40:41.440 --> 0:40:44.000
<v Speaker 2>So just from him scaling his business doing it a

0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:47.560
<v Speaker 2>different way to answer your question. Look how much he

0:40:47.560 --> 0:40:50.360
<v Speaker 2>gets a charge. So and he only pays nineteen hundred

0:40:50.920 --> 0:40:51.719
<v Speaker 2>for that unit.

0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Seventeen nineteen hundred.

0:40:53.960 --> 0:40:58.520
<v Speaker 4>So you could airbn beat stuff besides just living like

0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 4>you can air be Yeah, yeah, you can.

0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.160
<v Speaker 2>You can. There's there's some creative things. There's a treehouse

0:41:03.200 --> 0:41:05.360
<v Speaker 2>here in Atlanta. It's not Atlanta. I think it's stone

0:41:05.400 --> 0:41:07.360
<v Speaker 2>Out and she charges three seventy five at night and

0:41:07.400 --> 0:41:09.440
<v Speaker 2>she's booked all the way until the end of December

0:41:09.440 --> 0:41:09.959
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty.

0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:12.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I saw something like that. Yeah. It's like,

0:41:12.280 --> 0:41:15.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, wait, why would somebody? But people want unique experiences.

0:41:15.239 --> 0:41:17.120
<v Speaker 3>They want sometimes they want to be away from the city,

0:41:17.440 --> 0:41:19.160
<v Speaker 3>like a real treehouse. Yeah, like, no joke.

0:41:19.160 --> 0:41:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Your husband built it. He's a mechanic. He built the

0:41:21.480 --> 0:41:23.759
<v Speaker 2>He built the treehouse in their backyard. It's literally in

0:41:23.800 --> 0:41:25.520
<v Speaker 2>the middle of nowhere, a bunch of woods. He tore

0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:27.920
<v Speaker 2>down a few trees and he built the treehouse. You

0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:30.239
<v Speaker 2>walk over a bridge, so I saw the bridge. Yeah, yeah,

0:41:30.280 --> 0:41:32.560
<v Speaker 2>walk up the bridge with the Christmas lights. It's beautiful.

0:41:32.800 --> 0:41:35.160
<v Speaker 2>The tub you look it out the window like I'm

0:41:35.160 --> 0:41:37.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna have to show it set. It looks really it's beautiful,

0:41:37.400 --> 0:41:39.320
<v Speaker 2>and it's three seventy five at night, and she's booked

0:41:39.440 --> 0:41:41.680
<v Speaker 2>every night, like you can't book it right now, and

0:41:41.719 --> 0:41:45.279
<v Speaker 2>she still appears in the algorithm. That's big, really big.

0:41:45.440 --> 0:41:47.480
<v Speaker 3>So there's a lot of costs that come into this, right,

0:41:47.560 --> 0:41:50.000
<v Speaker 3>So I listed a few and if I miss some,

0:41:50.120 --> 0:41:52.360
<v Speaker 3>let me know. Obviously, the furniture ender, the core that

0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:54.520
<v Speaker 3>you have to put up, yes, people don't think about this.

0:41:54.600 --> 0:41:56.799
<v Speaker 3>But the TV, the cable, yeah, because that happens Wi

0:41:56.840 --> 0:41:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Fi obviously, yep. Obviously you put the cleaning courses. Is

0:41:59.480 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 3>there any other cause that people don't really know about

0:42:01.680 --> 0:42:02.759
<v Speaker 3>that they should have to get into this?

0:42:03.120 --> 0:42:06.160
<v Speaker 2>So let me go over my checklist. So you have

0:42:06.280 --> 0:42:09.680
<v Speaker 2>the rent, you have the deposit, you have the application fee,

0:42:09.719 --> 0:42:14.359
<v Speaker 2>you have the admin fee, you have furniture decre you

0:42:14.360 --> 0:42:17.399
<v Speaker 2>have basic communities like paper, towels, tissue because I buy

0:42:17.440 --> 0:42:19.319
<v Speaker 2>those things in bulk, so it's best to buy them

0:42:19.360 --> 0:42:21.760
<v Speaker 2>in bulk. Let me tell you why. When I first started,

0:42:21.800 --> 0:42:23.239
<v Speaker 2>I would be buying, like I would go to the

0:42:23.280 --> 0:42:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Dollar Store and get like a four pack of tissue,

0:42:25.560 --> 0:42:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and then I find myself going the guests talking my thing,

0:42:28.040 --> 0:42:29.560
<v Speaker 2>got no tissue. I got to wake up at five o'clock

0:42:29.560 --> 0:42:31.839
<v Speaker 2>in the morning to take them tissue. So then that's

0:42:31.840 --> 0:42:33.719
<v Speaker 2>when I started buying it in bulk. So you know,

0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:36.080
<v Speaker 2>once you start buying things in bulk, laun't you detergent,

0:42:36.400 --> 0:42:38.560
<v Speaker 2>coffee creamer? You know that stuff kind of ads up.

0:42:38.880 --> 0:42:41.560
<v Speaker 2>So you have those basic communities, and then you have

0:42:41.960 --> 0:42:43.400
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to do cable. A lot of my

0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:47.560
<v Speaker 2>units have Firestick, so the Firestick has live TV, it

0:42:47.560 --> 0:42:49.360
<v Speaker 2>has pay per view so they can see all the

0:42:49.360 --> 0:42:52.319
<v Speaker 2>fights and stuff like that. You don't have to and

0:42:52.360 --> 0:42:54.120
<v Speaker 2>then Wi Fi, of course you have to have Wi

0:42:54.120 --> 0:42:58.759
<v Speaker 2>Fi and your electricity yep, Georgia power. That's it. So

0:42:58.880 --> 0:43:02.959
<v Speaker 2>I tell my clients don't outside of those that I listen,

0:43:03.239 --> 0:43:05.520
<v Speaker 2>you don't need anything else. So when you get furenditsure,

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:07.680
<v Speaker 2>don't go getting a furennitsire line of credit because that's

0:43:07.680 --> 0:43:10.560
<v Speaker 2>the extra buil that you're gonna pay every month. Don't

0:43:10.600 --> 0:43:10.920
<v Speaker 2>do it.

0:43:11.400 --> 0:43:12.759
<v Speaker 4>Let me ask you this because it's like I told

0:43:12.800 --> 0:43:14.400
<v Speaker 4>you off camera, I was thinking about doing this in

0:43:14.520 --> 0:43:17.040
<v Speaker 4>La but I wanted to live there. Do you recommend

0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:19.319
<v Speaker 4>Is that a good idea to like have a have

0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:23.080
<v Speaker 4>a place where you're actually physically living yourself or you shouldn't.

0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:23.399
<v Speaker 5>Mix those two.

0:43:24.280 --> 0:43:25.799
<v Speaker 2>So you're saying if.

0:43:25.719 --> 0:43:28.680
<v Speaker 4>Like lift there part time Airbnb at out.

0:43:28.520 --> 0:43:29.040
<v Speaker 5>Part you can.

0:43:29.200 --> 0:43:31.520
<v Speaker 2>You can't do that that with me. I got real

0:43:31.560 --> 0:43:34.239
<v Speaker 2>OCD with people with me sleeping behind people and then

0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:37.680
<v Speaker 2>you're sleeping behind different people. So that's just my personal preference.

0:43:37.680 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 2>The vibe because you get you get different people, come

0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:44.560
<v Speaker 2>in people internationally, you get bad bugs. People don't understand

0:43:44.600 --> 0:43:46.800
<v Speaker 2>this is this is I really run a mini hotel

0:43:46.800 --> 0:43:48.600
<v Speaker 2>if you think about it. So when I think about that,

0:43:48.640 --> 0:43:51.719
<v Speaker 2>hotels have bad bugs and people. You just never know

0:43:51.760 --> 0:43:54.040
<v Speaker 2>where people are coming from. So I honestly don't suggest

0:43:54.040 --> 0:43:56.400
<v Speaker 2>that way. Some people don't care just because they travels

0:43:56.440 --> 0:43:58.440
<v Speaker 2>so much, but me, I would never do that.

0:43:59.080 --> 0:44:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So let's say, let's sake for example, April I

0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:06.120
<v Speaker 3>book I booked one of your spots, but something comes

0:44:06.200 --> 0:44:09.480
<v Speaker 3>up and I have to cancel. Is that something that's

0:44:09.520 --> 0:44:12.200
<v Speaker 3>rolled into your course, Like how does that wear cancelation fees?

0:44:12.280 --> 0:44:14.880
<v Speaker 2>So with Airbnb, there are three different cancelation policies. You

0:44:14.960 --> 0:44:20.200
<v Speaker 2>have strict, you have moderate, and you have flexible. So flexible, flexible,

0:44:20.360 --> 0:44:23.360
<v Speaker 2>moderate and strict strict. You have to cancel within fourteen days.

0:44:23.760 --> 0:44:27.200
<v Speaker 2>I believe moderate. You got seven days in flexible forty

0:44:27.200 --> 0:44:27.920
<v Speaker 2>eight hours?

0:44:28.360 --> 0:44:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Which one you recommend I do straight strict.

0:44:31.160 --> 0:44:34.160
<v Speaker 2>You're not getting over on me because you have to.

0:44:34.280 --> 0:44:36.160
<v Speaker 2>You have to be careful with taking that risk of

0:44:36.200 --> 0:44:39.040
<v Speaker 2>not getting booked if someone cancels twenty four hours before

0:44:39.400 --> 0:44:40.680
<v Speaker 2>or forty hours before.

0:44:40.480 --> 0:44:42.759
<v Speaker 3>And you don't get booked, and because you lost money

0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:43.160
<v Speaker 3>because it.

0:44:43.160 --> 0:44:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Was now now. There are some instances where people will

0:44:45.520 --> 0:44:47.680
<v Speaker 2>reach out to me based on how their profile looks,

0:44:47.840 --> 0:44:49.960
<v Speaker 2>and that becomes a screening. Like I had a guy

0:44:50.080 --> 0:44:52.640
<v Speaker 2>he had like twenty reviews, all were five star, and

0:44:52.680 --> 0:44:54.560
<v Speaker 2>he told me his grandfather passed and he sent me

0:44:54.600 --> 0:44:57.239
<v Speaker 2>the I didn't even ask him for documentation, he sent

0:44:57.280 --> 0:45:00.040
<v Speaker 2>me the I think he sent the death certificate. I

0:45:00.040 --> 0:45:03.480
<v Speaker 2>gave him a full refund, So I'm not like, no,

0:45:03.719 --> 0:45:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I don't go that far. But if you

0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:08.520
<v Speaker 2>just canceling and you don't tell me anything, then no,

0:45:08.600 --> 0:45:09.640
<v Speaker 2>you're not getting your money bag.

0:45:10.000 --> 0:45:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Gotcha, can't do it. Gotcha. And most people don't know

0:45:12.600 --> 0:45:14.879
<v Speaker 3>Airbnb takes a percentage of each reservation, right, you want

0:45:14.880 --> 0:45:15.719
<v Speaker 3>to talk about that a little bit.

0:45:15.719 --> 0:45:18.560
<v Speaker 2>So Airbnb takes at three percent service fee but it

0:45:18.560 --> 0:45:20.520
<v Speaker 2>doesn't come out of your profits or or what you make.

0:45:20.520 --> 0:45:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Where's it coming from?

0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:25.239
<v Speaker 2>The guests pay it. So so let me say this

0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:27.840
<v Speaker 2>the guests, the guests had this fee, and you have

0:45:27.960 --> 0:45:31.240
<v Speaker 2>your You have to pay three percent service fee for airbnb?

0:45:31.840 --> 0:45:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Got it?

0:45:32.600 --> 0:45:33.239
<v Speaker 3>Gotcha?

0:45:33.320 --> 0:45:35.160
<v Speaker 5>So how quick can you get an air being like?

0:45:35.160 --> 0:45:38.600
<v Speaker 4>All right, let's say I get an apartment, and how

0:45:38.680 --> 0:45:42.560
<v Speaker 4>quick of a turnaround can I realistically expect to start

0:45:42.719 --> 0:45:45.640
<v Speaker 4>airbing being it out and somebody coming to.

0:45:46.200 --> 0:45:48.600
<v Speaker 2>So with So, honestly, I'm going to be straight up

0:45:48.640 --> 0:45:51.920
<v Speaker 2>with you. So my units, I tell my clients you

0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:54.400
<v Speaker 2>don't take longer than seven days to get furnished. If

0:45:54.440 --> 0:45:56.560
<v Speaker 2>you take longer than seven days, I'm putting you at

0:45:56.560 --> 0:45:59.280
<v Speaker 2>the back of my list because this is what happens.

0:45:59.440 --> 0:46:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Say I paidwelve hundred dollars in rent on the first

0:46:02.960 --> 0:46:06.479
<v Speaker 2>I need to be listed by the seven Why say

0:46:06.440 --> 0:46:08.880
<v Speaker 2>you'll take fourteen days? Guess what rent coming up in

0:46:08.880 --> 0:46:11.200
<v Speaker 2>two more weeks? So now you're coming out of pocket

0:46:11.200 --> 0:46:15.160
<v Speaker 2>with rent. It doesn't make sense. It makes your investment pointless.

0:46:15.520 --> 0:46:17.480
<v Speaker 2>The point of it is to get somebody. It's a

0:46:17.480 --> 0:46:20.080
<v Speaker 2>short term mental business. So you got a short period

0:46:20.080 --> 0:46:22.960
<v Speaker 2>of time to get listed. You understand what I'm saying.

0:46:23.200 --> 0:46:25.719
<v Speaker 2>So when I tell my clients, hey, once you get

0:46:25.760 --> 0:46:28.200
<v Speaker 2>your keys, you need to once you're once you're applying

0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:30.600
<v Speaker 2>for the place you need to be getting furniture. If

0:46:30.640 --> 0:46:32.160
<v Speaker 2>you know you're not gonna get approved, then you don't

0:46:32.160 --> 0:46:33.960
<v Speaker 2>need to be applying. You need to find somebody who

0:46:34.040 --> 0:46:37.400
<v Speaker 2>you know is gonna get approved. So once you get listed,

0:46:37.400 --> 0:46:40.400
<v Speaker 2>once you get your keys, I tell them seven days.

0:46:41.840 --> 0:46:43.400
<v Speaker 2>A lot of them take three or four days, it

0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:46.279
<v Speaker 2>just depends. Then I'm scheduling my photographer, so I'll do

0:46:46.320 --> 0:46:48.640
<v Speaker 2>my walkthrough to make sure everything looks as it looks

0:46:48.680 --> 0:46:51.160
<v Speaker 2>as I did here, and then I'll schedule the photographer.

0:46:51.280 --> 0:46:53.960
<v Speaker 2>The photographer he's my own photographer, so he normally gets

0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:56.320
<v Speaker 2>them back to me within twenty four hours. I'm listening

0:46:56.320 --> 0:46:57.440
<v Speaker 2>to them.

0:46:57.440 --> 0:46:59.359
<v Speaker 4>And then how long when you list it? How what's

0:46:59.400 --> 0:47:02.239
<v Speaker 4>the usual turn around time for somebody actually books?

0:47:02.280 --> 0:47:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Two hours, three hours, three hours. I can show you

0:47:04.760 --> 0:47:06.880
<v Speaker 2>that on my phone. My clients be getting booked. They

0:47:06.960 --> 0:47:09.120
<v Speaker 2>be having five reservations by the twenty four hour mark

0:47:09.160 --> 0:47:14.959
<v Speaker 2>period period with a tea period. No, No, I'm saying

0:47:15.800 --> 0:47:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I was saying here, I'm saying about the twenty four

0:47:17.719 --> 0:47:18.759
<v Speaker 2>hour mark.

0:47:18.960 --> 0:47:23.040
<v Speaker 4>Okay, on the actual period, not like a city girls period,

0:47:23.160 --> 0:47:27.560
<v Speaker 4>like actually actual actual period, both of the same.

0:47:29.080 --> 0:47:31.600
<v Speaker 2>By twenty four hours they have they be they'll be

0:47:31.640 --> 0:47:33.399
<v Speaker 2>like see this my You'll be like, yep, that's you.

0:47:33.520 --> 0:47:33.840
<v Speaker 3>That's you.

0:47:34.040 --> 0:47:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

0:47:34.920 --> 0:47:35.279
<v Speaker 5>All right.

0:47:35.320 --> 0:47:38.600
<v Speaker 3>So outside of the cleaning thing you said that was

0:47:38.680 --> 0:47:40.239
<v Speaker 3>kind of hurt. You're in the business. There any other

0:47:40.280 --> 0:47:44.439
<v Speaker 3>obstacles that you face that you can tell people like, hey,

0:47:44.480 --> 0:47:45.200
<v Speaker 3>look out for this.

0:47:45.200 --> 0:47:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Look out for this screaming. You have to be careful

0:47:48.760 --> 0:47:55.399
<v Speaker 2>of people who have negative reviews already, people who are oh,

0:47:55.480 --> 0:47:58.840
<v Speaker 2>let me say this, natives. I don't accept a reservation.

0:47:59.640 --> 0:48:02.120
<v Speaker 2>I just don't, because this is what I asked them,

0:48:02.160 --> 0:48:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Why do you need my place if you live here nothing.

0:48:05.200 --> 0:48:08.279
<v Speaker 2>I will accept them under conditions because I have people

0:48:08.280 --> 0:48:10.600
<v Speaker 2>who live here and they have businesses. They'll come film

0:48:10.719 --> 0:48:14.320
<v Speaker 2>like this. I get these all the time, people cooking shows.

0:48:14.360 --> 0:48:19.880
<v Speaker 2>They love how the kitchen set up, what else? Just

0:48:19.960 --> 0:48:20.279
<v Speaker 2>so you.

0:48:20.239 --> 0:48:23.040
<v Speaker 5>Think, like, if they live in the city, it's something fishy.

0:48:23.320 --> 0:48:24.919
<v Speaker 3>Throw probably doing a party. That's your spot.

0:48:25.360 --> 0:48:27.200
<v Speaker 2>You doing something you ain't got no business doing. Now,

0:48:27.239 --> 0:48:28.840
<v Speaker 2>I do get those couples.

0:48:29.360 --> 0:48:29.840
<v Speaker 5>You're doing.

0:48:31.640 --> 0:48:37.279
<v Speaker 2>My business. But I will actually if I see that

0:48:37.320 --> 0:48:39.279
<v Speaker 2>your profile states, because your profile will stay you live

0:48:39.320 --> 0:48:41.359
<v Speaker 2>in Atlanta. And then if I look at your area code,

0:48:41.400 --> 0:48:43.399
<v Speaker 2>if it's say four or four seven seven oh four

0:48:43.480 --> 0:48:45.320
<v Speaker 2>seven o or six seven eight, I'm not going to

0:48:45.360 --> 0:48:45.879
<v Speaker 2>accept you.

0:48:46.520 --> 0:48:48.759
<v Speaker 4>So that's the that's the area, that's the zip codes

0:48:48.840 --> 0:48:50.240
<v Speaker 4>that was for zip clothes for Atlanta.

0:48:50.760 --> 0:48:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Got you, So I'll try it. A lot of times

0:48:53.080 --> 0:48:55.600
<v Speaker 3>people say no parties in the airbnb, right, but there's

0:48:55.640 --> 0:48:58.400
<v Speaker 3>no cameras inside. Is that based on the security outside?

0:48:58.440 --> 0:49:00.959
<v Speaker 3>Is that something that should be standard in Airbnb's having

0:49:01.480 --> 0:49:03.680
<v Speaker 3>a security camera outside to see the traffic coming in.

0:49:03.760 --> 0:49:07.040
<v Speaker 2>You'll know a party. You will I know a party

0:49:07.080 --> 0:49:09.600
<v Speaker 2>every time. I had a guy come stay in the loft,

0:49:09.640 --> 0:49:11.799
<v Speaker 2>the movie theater loft, and he told me it was him,

0:49:11.840 --> 0:49:15.080
<v Speaker 2>his wife and his kids, his two kids. When I

0:49:15.120 --> 0:49:17.839
<v Speaker 2>went in there, it was twelve pieces of boxes. At

0:49:17.840 --> 0:49:20.120
<v Speaker 2>the door, it was four trash bags. They had a

0:49:20.120 --> 0:49:21.920
<v Speaker 2>bunch of pink and yellow plates and a bunch of

0:49:22.000 --> 0:49:25.360
<v Speaker 2>pink and yellow silvilware in the cabinet. This ain't no kids.

0:49:25.719 --> 0:49:27.319
<v Speaker 2>He was like, oh yeah, I live out of town,

0:49:27.400 --> 0:49:31.120
<v Speaker 2>and my kids came, My wife came and we just

0:49:31.800 --> 0:49:34.120
<v Speaker 2>had a party. So I on that unit, I had

0:49:34.160 --> 0:49:36.680
<v Speaker 2>a camera, I had a ring camera, and I didn't

0:49:36.680 --> 0:49:38.600
<v Speaker 2>look at my cameras, like I don't go look at him.

0:49:38.640 --> 0:49:40.560
<v Speaker 2>If a guests tell me something, I'll believe it. Like

0:49:40.680 --> 0:49:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I was still okay, but something kept telling me. My

0:49:43.120 --> 0:49:46.680
<v Speaker 2>instinct was like, go look at these cameras. This man

0:49:46.760 --> 0:49:48.360
<v Speaker 2>had fourteen people in my unit. He said it was

0:49:48.400 --> 0:49:50.720
<v Speaker 2>only supposed to be four people. There were fourteen people.

0:49:51.200 --> 0:49:53.399
<v Speaker 2>It was a huge little summer party with a bunch

0:49:53.400 --> 0:49:55.920
<v Speaker 2>of girls. Like you know, it wasn't an issue. It

0:49:55.960 --> 0:49:57.279
<v Speaker 2>was a principle. If you would have just told me

0:49:57.280 --> 0:49:58.600
<v Speaker 2>that from before, I would have let you did. But

0:49:58.960 --> 0:50:00.640
<v Speaker 2>because you didn't tell me, now you're about to give

0:50:00.680 --> 0:50:01.640
<v Speaker 2>me that twenty dollars pray extra.

0:50:01.680 --> 0:50:03.840
<v Speaker 3>Guess that's all I was gonna say. So there's a

0:50:03.920 --> 0:50:06.920
<v Speaker 3>charge for every person that comes in. Outside of that, you.

0:50:06.880 --> 0:50:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Can charge what you want to charge. Some people charge ten,

0:50:08.960 --> 0:50:10.680
<v Speaker 2>some people charge fifteen, but I charge twenty.

0:50:10.719 --> 0:50:13.240
<v Speaker 3>Whoever that man is, you play yourself.

0:50:14.719 --> 0:50:17.480
<v Speaker 2>So when it comes to the security, it really you

0:50:17.480 --> 0:50:20.600
<v Speaker 2>will know a party like I've had units where there

0:50:20.600 --> 0:50:23.759
<v Speaker 2>were ashes everywhere, there leave roaches all in the you know,

0:50:23.800 --> 0:50:27.840
<v Speaker 2>on the counter, just messy. You'll smell it because a

0:50:27.840 --> 0:50:31.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of them don't have balconies. They're just careless.

0:50:31.480 --> 0:50:34.480
<v Speaker 4>So you could just decide not to let somebody use

0:50:34.480 --> 0:50:37.080
<v Speaker 4>your Airbnb yep, and there's no reason why you got

0:50:37.120 --> 0:50:37.760
<v Speaker 4>to give them.

0:50:38.200 --> 0:50:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, if they book and you want to cancel them,

0:50:40.880 --> 0:50:43.600
<v Speaker 2>you have to give a reason. But if they're just inquiring,

0:50:43.680 --> 0:50:46.760
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to accept them. You get what I'm saying.

0:50:46.840 --> 0:50:49.800
<v Speaker 2>So you want on Airbnb, you can inquire and send

0:50:49.800 --> 0:50:52.239
<v Speaker 2>like a message like hey, how close is this to

0:50:52.280 --> 0:50:55.080
<v Speaker 2>the to the airport? That's an inquiry and then I

0:50:55.120 --> 0:50:58.680
<v Speaker 2>have the option of accepting the pre approval, So you

0:50:58.680 --> 0:51:00.600
<v Speaker 2>can go accept the pre approval or you can just

0:51:00.600 --> 0:51:02.120
<v Speaker 2>do an instant book. Is either one?

0:51:02.200 --> 0:51:02.799
<v Speaker 5>Do you do it?

0:51:02.840 --> 0:51:04.840
<v Speaker 3>I know like as a guest you can write a review,

0:51:04.880 --> 0:51:07.040
<v Speaker 3>but does the owner you write a guest review?

0:51:07.560 --> 0:51:08.560
<v Speaker 2>We write reviews as well.

0:51:08.640 --> 0:51:10.360
<v Speaker 3>So if I'm if it's the first time I signed

0:51:10.360 --> 0:51:12.160
<v Speaker 3>off for Airbnb and I'm trying to get a spot,

0:51:12.280 --> 0:51:14.319
<v Speaker 3>obviously I don't have any reviews. Just that is that

0:51:14.400 --> 0:51:15.839
<v Speaker 3>looked upon in a certain way.

0:51:16.440 --> 0:51:18.360
<v Speaker 2>There are a lot of first timers, so you I

0:51:18.440 --> 0:51:20.680
<v Speaker 2>really don't judge off of you not having any reviews.

0:51:21.120 --> 0:51:22.960
<v Speaker 2>If you don't have any reviews, it's like, don't hang

0:51:23.000 --> 0:51:25.319
<v Speaker 2>yourself tech thing, you know what I'm saying. So I'm

0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:26.080
<v Speaker 2>giving you the rope.

0:51:27.200 --> 0:51:28.480
<v Speaker 5>How do you know what to charge?

0:51:29.400 --> 0:51:34.479
<v Speaker 2>You have to that comes with location, furniture, the mini

0:51:34.480 --> 0:51:38.360
<v Speaker 2>seas that you offer. Those are the three main things.

0:51:38.480 --> 0:51:41.280
<v Speaker 4>Do you take like the monthly rent divided by thirty

0:51:41.360 --> 0:51:42.719
<v Speaker 4>days and kind of come.

0:51:42.680 --> 0:51:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Up with that?

0:51:43.360 --> 0:51:46.200
<v Speaker 2>No, so you you do have to do it that way.

0:51:46.239 --> 0:51:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Speaking technical, but when you are getting into the business,

0:51:50.760 --> 0:51:53.319
<v Speaker 2>don't go get a unit for that where you have

0:51:53.360 --> 0:51:55.560
<v Speaker 2>to pay five thousand dollars and you know you only

0:51:55.560 --> 0:51:57.960
<v Speaker 2>can charge at one hundred dollars a night, because then

0:51:58.040 --> 0:52:00.360
<v Speaker 2>you're not doing one hundred times thirty. You gotta do

0:52:00.360 --> 0:52:02.480
<v Speaker 2>like one hundred times nineteen and one hundred times twenty

0:52:02.520 --> 0:52:04.960
<v Speaker 2>because you have to count for those bacand nights. You

0:52:05.040 --> 0:52:06.360
<v Speaker 2>might not get booked every night.

0:52:06.239 --> 0:52:07.279
<v Speaker 5>And weekends are always more.

0:52:07.600 --> 0:52:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, you can't make it that way. Mines aren't.

0:52:10.280 --> 0:52:12.200
<v Speaker 2>So people know, is.

0:52:12.120 --> 0:52:13.960
<v Speaker 3>There a specific time of the year that is just

0:52:14.120 --> 0:52:15.040
<v Speaker 3>peak season or.

0:52:17.440 --> 0:52:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Now it's peak season? Because so everyone's unit is different.

0:52:21.600 --> 0:52:25.640
<v Speaker 2>I have a contract. I have a contract with acting agency,

0:52:25.800 --> 0:52:28.600
<v Speaker 2>so I have to and when Sony, So I have

0:52:29.520 --> 0:52:31.520
<v Speaker 2>a lot of actors that come in it's pilot season.

0:52:31.680 --> 0:52:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I think I just learned that. So I didn't even

0:52:33.440 --> 0:52:35.680
<v Speaker 2>know nothing about no polot season. I guess a bunch

0:52:35.760 --> 0:52:39.440
<v Speaker 2>of actors are traveling, so they are, they're coming. So

0:52:39.600 --> 0:52:42.160
<v Speaker 2>about from this time to about summertime, it slows down

0:52:42.160 --> 0:52:45.320
<v Speaker 2>when it's back to school time, so like August September,

0:52:45.360 --> 0:52:46.200
<v Speaker 2>it starts to slow down.

0:52:47.160 --> 0:52:50.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure Tyler Perry bringing everything he's brought to Atlanta's helping.

0:52:50.520 --> 0:52:50.640
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:52:50.920 --> 0:52:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, he's about to build his own hotel on his

0:52:52.960 --> 0:52:54.400
<v Speaker 2>campus on base.

0:52:57.440 --> 0:53:01.040
<v Speaker 5>I love him, but he animated systems.

0:53:01.880 --> 0:53:04.600
<v Speaker 2>He's about to put a whole hotel on his base.

0:53:04.840 --> 0:53:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:53:05.120 --> 0:53:09.040
<v Speaker 4>Crazy, that's so one last question, So all right, so

0:53:09.080 --> 0:53:11.320
<v Speaker 4>you don't have you don't have to have any special insurance.

0:53:12.280 --> 0:53:17.000
<v Speaker 2>No, just one hundred thousand dollars depending on the property.

0:53:15.840 --> 0:53:18.160
<v Speaker 5>One hundred thousand dollars of renters insurance.

0:53:17.840 --> 0:53:20.480
<v Speaker 2>YEP renters insurance on the apartments. On the luxury apartments,

0:53:20.520 --> 0:53:22.600
<v Speaker 2>you have to have minimum one hundred thousand.

0:53:23.239 --> 0:53:26.880
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So what's your what's your personal take on the

0:53:26.920 --> 0:53:29.560
<v Speaker 4>future of Airbnb, Like, do you think that because, like

0:53:29.560 --> 0:53:32.040
<v Speaker 4>you said, there's a lot of issues with like LA

0:53:32.200 --> 0:53:34.520
<v Speaker 4>specifically New York, Boston.

0:53:35.239 --> 0:53:36.520
<v Speaker 3>San Francisco, San Francisco.

0:53:36.600 --> 0:53:39.280
<v Speaker 4>Do you think that in your just in your just opinion,

0:53:39.760 --> 0:53:42.640
<v Speaker 4>do you think airbnb will continue to prosper or do

0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:44.280
<v Speaker 4>you think it's going to become harder and harder.

0:53:44.760 --> 0:53:51.719
<v Speaker 2>I honestly think it's becoming harder. But there's loopholes to

0:53:51.760 --> 0:53:55.440
<v Speaker 2>any business. Politicians have loop posed, the President got loop posed.

0:53:55.880 --> 0:53:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Every business that you have, it has loopholes. So when

0:53:58.960 --> 0:54:01.160
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the regulation, it doesn't mean that you

0:54:01.200 --> 0:54:03.080
<v Speaker 2>can't do it. It just means you have to register

0:54:03.160 --> 0:54:05.560
<v Speaker 2>and pay taxes on it as if you were doing

0:54:05.560 --> 0:54:09.240
<v Speaker 2>a regular house. So people think about regulations. Even with Boston,

0:54:09.440 --> 0:54:11.279
<v Speaker 2>they never say you couldn't do it. Tampa too, they

0:54:11.320 --> 0:54:13.799
<v Speaker 2>never say you couldn't do Airbnb. They just said that

0:54:14.040 --> 0:54:16.720
<v Speaker 2>you just have to register so you can pay taxes

0:54:16.760 --> 0:54:17.000
<v Speaker 2>on this.

0:54:17.120 --> 0:54:19.040
<v Speaker 4>So you're registering it as a business with the state

0:54:19.200 --> 0:54:21.879
<v Speaker 4>and then that income you pay a tax.

0:54:23.000 --> 0:54:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So they're not saying that you can't.

0:54:24.960 --> 0:54:27.680
<v Speaker 3>Do it, they're just saying that we need Yeah, thank you,

0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:28.000
<v Speaker 3>that's it.

0:54:28.440 --> 0:54:33.680
<v Speaker 2>So to answer your question, you it really.

0:54:33.880 --> 0:54:35.800
<v Speaker 5>Just depends Yeah, it just depends. It depends.

0:54:36.120 --> 0:54:38.319
<v Speaker 2>The thing is it's about Atlanta though, excuse me to

0:54:38.320 --> 0:54:41.239
<v Speaker 2>cut you off. Atlanta. Atlanta is really prospering, like this

0:54:41.320 --> 0:54:45.799
<v Speaker 2>is a city for it. Over twenty eighteen, Airbnb took

0:54:45.800 --> 0:54:48.560
<v Speaker 2>four hundred and fifty million dollars of revenue from hotels.

0:54:49.680 --> 0:54:51.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and that's the problem as far as like it's

0:54:51.960 --> 0:54:54.359
<v Speaker 4>just the same thing with Uber and the taxi lobby,

0:54:54.440 --> 0:54:57.239
<v Speaker 4>and the hotel industry is extremely strong. Yeah, and it's

0:54:57.360 --> 0:55:00.200
<v Speaker 4>like now it's starting to kill the hotel industry. So

0:55:00.280 --> 0:55:02.680
<v Speaker 4>now they fighting back, where Airbnb's a billion dollar company

0:55:02.719 --> 0:55:03.920
<v Speaker 4>as well, so they're not going to just go.

0:55:04.000 --> 0:55:04.879
<v Speaker 5>So it's gonna be a fight.

0:55:05.320 --> 0:55:08.680
<v Speaker 4>But it's a lot of pressure that's being put from

0:55:08.719 --> 0:55:13.640
<v Speaker 4>the hotel industry. And you got community organizations and neighborhood

0:55:13.680 --> 0:55:14.319
<v Speaker 4>all that kind of stuff.

0:55:14.320 --> 0:55:16.840
<v Speaker 2>And there was hotels you have like occupancy fees, you know,

0:55:16.880 --> 0:55:18.840
<v Speaker 2>when you go stay at hotel, you gotta pay all

0:55:18.880 --> 0:55:22.160
<v Speaker 2>those fees on the receipt when you check out, permit fees.

0:55:23.040 --> 0:55:25.200
<v Speaker 2>We just Airbnb's and making us do the same thing.

0:55:26.160 --> 0:55:31.120
<v Speaker 2>That's it. So it's not gonna really cut nobody profits.

0:55:31.600 --> 0:55:32.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not that.

0:55:32.160 --> 0:55:34.480
<v Speaker 4>Bad, all right, So the next time, we're gonna talk

0:55:34.480 --> 0:55:36.520
<v Speaker 4>about how you help people and how you educate people

0:55:37.360 --> 0:55:39.080
<v Speaker 4>to get in the game and since how they can

0:55:39.080 --> 0:55:39.720
<v Speaker 4>get some money.

0:55:39.560 --> 0:55:40.799
<v Speaker 3>In one in one. Yeah.

0:55:40.960 --> 0:55:43.400
<v Speaker 4>So all right, so you're young and you got the

0:55:43.480 --> 0:55:45.360
<v Speaker 4>game figured out and you're making a lot of money,

0:55:45.480 --> 0:55:48.080
<v Speaker 4>but you also teach people and you've been teaching. So

0:55:48.120 --> 0:55:49.600
<v Speaker 4>what made you want to do that? Because you could

0:55:49.640 --> 0:55:53.080
<v Speaker 4>have just been getting money on your own? What made

0:55:53.160 --> 0:55:56.520
<v Speaker 4>you wanted to go into education and actually, you know,

0:55:56.719 --> 0:55:58.960
<v Speaker 4>teach people and make them successful.

0:55:59.280 --> 0:56:02.400
<v Speaker 2>You want to know what really made me get into education?

0:56:03.000 --> 0:56:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Greg big business, business king, King of North Philly.

0:56:09.080 --> 0:56:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Philly business is what made me get into education. How

0:56:13.000 --> 0:56:16.719
<v Speaker 2>did you meet Instagram? Instagram is a huge platform. I

0:56:16.760 --> 0:56:21.480
<v Speaker 2>actually met Greg and I became his client, and then

0:56:21.560 --> 0:56:23.440
<v Speaker 2>we spent New Year's together last year. I was we

0:56:23.440 --> 0:56:25.960
<v Speaker 2>were in Miami, we go to Philly. I just go

0:56:26.000 --> 0:56:27.480
<v Speaker 2>to Philly just to go up there and kick it

0:56:27.520 --> 0:56:30.640
<v Speaker 2>with them sometimes. So that's how I met Greg. But

0:56:31.480 --> 0:56:34.960
<v Speaker 2>just with I Saw, I was like, I figured this

0:56:35.000 --> 0:56:37.080
<v Speaker 2>business out. Once I figured it out, I was like, well,

0:56:37.400 --> 0:56:38.719
<v Speaker 2>it's time for you to do something else. So I

0:56:38.760 --> 0:56:40.640
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to keep just getting units. I was like

0:56:40.640 --> 0:56:43.520
<v Speaker 2>well that becomes boring. So then that's when I thought

0:56:43.520 --> 0:56:46.799
<v Speaker 2>about the classes. So my classes, they lasted about four

0:56:46.840 --> 0:56:50.920
<v Speaker 2>hours and they're extremely informational. They're just larger the one

0:56:50.960 --> 0:56:53.799
<v Speaker 2>on ones. It's more so you actually getting your unit.

0:56:53.880 --> 0:56:56.280
<v Speaker 2>That's my one on one with the classes is just information.

0:56:56.719 --> 0:56:58.000
<v Speaker 2>You have to go figure it out on your own.

0:56:58.160 --> 0:57:00.520
<v Speaker 3>One on one. You actually take me through the process

0:57:00.520 --> 0:57:03.040
<v Speaker 3>of getting good yep, step by step, step by step,

0:57:03.120 --> 0:57:06.440
<v Speaker 3>even down to you bring the interior designer in my spot,

0:57:06.760 --> 0:57:10.000
<v Speaker 3>watch me get my first property yep, wow.

0:57:10.200 --> 0:57:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Everything, and then I listened for you when you just

0:57:12.600 --> 0:57:14.320
<v Speaker 2>come to my class. You have to figure that system

0:57:14.360 --> 0:57:17.000
<v Speaker 2>out yourself. I have I have step by step by

0:57:17.000 --> 0:57:19.640
<v Speaker 2>step with my one on one program for you until

0:57:19.640 --> 0:57:21.320
<v Speaker 2>you get listed, all the way until you get booked.

0:57:21.560 --> 0:57:23.280
<v Speaker 2>And then once you get booked. Once you get listed,

0:57:23.320 --> 0:57:25.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot of my clients join I want to join

0:57:25.160 --> 0:57:28.560
<v Speaker 2>my property management company. So literally, like you're you're holding

0:57:28.560 --> 0:57:31.720
<v Speaker 2>onto my arm the whole entire time. You have your unit.

0:57:31.920 --> 0:57:35.720
<v Speaker 4>Too, what's the enjoyment of Like TCAZ choys are educator

0:57:35.920 --> 0:57:39.680
<v Speaker 4>and I teach financial literacy to kids, so like it's

0:57:39.720 --> 0:57:41.919
<v Speaker 4>a different feeling for me to like know when it's

0:57:41.920 --> 0:57:44.760
<v Speaker 4>good to know something when you could teach somebody something.

0:57:44.800 --> 0:57:46.920
<v Speaker 4>For me, and I'm sure Troy feels the same way,

0:57:46.960 --> 0:57:50.080
<v Speaker 4>it's a different lovely basis filming and it's a different feeling.

0:57:50.160 --> 0:57:51.800
<v Speaker 4>So like what's the what's the feeling for you? Like

0:57:51.840 --> 0:57:53.800
<v Speaker 4>when when you're actually teaching and you can tell it

0:57:53.880 --> 0:57:56.160
<v Speaker 4>they're learning, and then like you have to have success,

0:57:56.200 --> 0:57:56.960
<v Speaker 4>Like how does that feel?

0:57:57.080 --> 0:57:59.960
<v Speaker 2>It feels so good. It feels so good. Me posted

0:58:00.160 --> 0:58:02.200
<v Speaker 2>my clients. So if you go on my page, I

0:58:02.240 --> 0:58:04.880
<v Speaker 2>have a few of my clients listed their listings. It

0:58:04.920 --> 0:58:08.520
<v Speaker 2>feels really good. It makes me. It makes the mistakes

0:58:08.520 --> 0:58:12.640
<v Speaker 2>that I made worth it perfect. Yeah, it really does.

0:58:12.800 --> 0:58:16.200
<v Speaker 2>I used to be like, dang, now I'll be haven't man,

0:58:16.280 --> 0:58:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll just wake up to five clients, you know what

0:58:19.400 --> 0:58:21.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. So now I get to a point where

0:58:21.600 --> 0:58:24.640
<v Speaker 2>it's like, dang, those mistakes I made people are really

0:58:25.040 --> 0:58:28.600
<v Speaker 2>so I also so with the mistakes that I was making,

0:58:29.120 --> 0:58:31.080
<v Speaker 2>which is how it came up with my automatic systems,

0:58:31.480 --> 0:58:34.680
<v Speaker 2>I put them all in an Excel sheet so there's

0:58:34.800 --> 0:58:37.480
<v Speaker 2>logistics for it. So for every mistake I've made, I

0:58:37.560 --> 0:58:40.440
<v Speaker 2>promised that for any issue you have in the business,

0:58:40.520 --> 0:58:43.200
<v Speaker 2>I have a solution for it. There's not a solution

0:58:43.280 --> 0:58:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't have for a problem in this business. And

0:58:45.160 --> 0:58:48.240
<v Speaker 2>that's something that I've scaled. So it's something that I've

0:58:48.240 --> 0:58:51.200
<v Speaker 2>worked hard for. There's mistakes I've made. There's superhostetus that

0:58:51.200 --> 0:58:53.920
<v Speaker 2>I lost from those mistakes that now I can teach people,

0:58:54.040 --> 0:58:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Hey do it this way so that you don't make

0:58:55.920 --> 0:58:58.000
<v Speaker 2>this mistake. Hey go this way so that you don't

0:58:58.040 --> 0:58:58.920
<v Speaker 2>do it the way that I do it.

0:58:59.120 --> 0:59:02.560
<v Speaker 3>So its the last time we went to Atlanta, I

0:59:02.640 --> 0:59:05.200
<v Speaker 3>guy Alex he actually said that, he was like, people

0:59:05.200 --> 0:59:07.640
<v Speaker 3>are not paying to learn from me. They're paying to

0:59:07.680 --> 0:59:09.480
<v Speaker 3>get my mistakes so that they don't make the same

0:59:09.920 --> 0:59:13.960
<v Speaker 3>That's true. So the classes is it spread out throughout

0:59:14.000 --> 0:59:15.880
<v Speaker 3>the United States or the clients from everywhere? Because I

0:59:15.880 --> 0:59:18.920
<v Speaker 3>know you're based in Atlanta. Do you have Airbnbs outside

0:59:18.920 --> 0:59:19.560
<v Speaker 3>of Atlanta? No?

0:59:19.600 --> 0:59:21.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't have Airbnbs. When my clients did, they do Okay,

0:59:22.000 --> 0:59:24.800
<v Speaker 2>so we can do it virtually, So we can do

0:59:24.800 --> 0:59:26.880
<v Speaker 2>it through a phone call. That's that's how simple my

0:59:26.920 --> 0:59:29.560
<v Speaker 2>one on one program needs. But it works. And if

0:59:29.600 --> 0:59:30.400
<v Speaker 2>you do it the way I.

0:59:30.320 --> 0:59:34.920
<v Speaker 4>Say, investing in yourself is the best investment. Absolutely, I'll

0:59:34.920 --> 0:59:38.240
<v Speaker 4>tell people out all the time. It's like, what's the

0:59:38.280 --> 0:59:40.800
<v Speaker 4>price if you play basketball? How much would you pay

0:59:41.280 --> 0:59:44.080
<v Speaker 4>for Michael Jordan to show you how to play? You

0:59:44.120 --> 0:59:45.600
<v Speaker 4>can't put a price on that, Like you know what

0:59:45.600 --> 0:59:48.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying. And it's like that kind of it accelerates.

0:59:48.600 --> 0:59:50.680
<v Speaker 4>You might get to where you want to go by yourself,

0:59:51.280 --> 0:59:54.680
<v Speaker 4>but that's the whole thing having a mentor having a coach.

0:59:55.160 --> 0:59:57.760
<v Speaker 4>And this is why like Lebron, like he pays a

0:59:57.800 --> 1:00:01.200
<v Speaker 4>million dollars a year just on his body he has. Yeah,

1:00:01.280 --> 1:00:04.400
<v Speaker 4>but there's the reason why he's not heard exactly exactly.

1:00:04.600 --> 1:00:08.240
<v Speaker 4>Chefs and massage therapists, trainers and all that. So it's

1:00:08.280 --> 1:00:10.960
<v Speaker 4>like I always tell people with your business, it's like,

1:00:11.240 --> 1:00:14.040
<v Speaker 4>what's your budget, Yes, to improve your business. It's like,

1:00:14.080 --> 1:00:16.040
<v Speaker 4>if you don't have a budget to improve your business,

1:00:16.120 --> 1:00:17.640
<v Speaker 4>you're not serious about improving your business.

1:00:17.640 --> 1:00:18.560
<v Speaker 5>That's true, just a fact.

1:00:18.720 --> 1:00:18.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1:00:18.960 --> 1:00:22.560
<v Speaker 2>So and then I see other people they are people

1:00:22.600 --> 1:00:24.880
<v Speaker 2>look at my price and they compare it to other people's.

1:00:25.120 --> 1:00:26.840
<v Speaker 2>So if I charge I just went up to two

1:00:26.880 --> 1:00:30.600
<v Speaker 2>grand January because I'm like this, I saw how many

1:00:30.640 --> 1:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>clients I was scaling. I'm like, this is worth more

1:00:33.360 --> 1:00:35.840
<v Speaker 2>than what I'm charging clients. You got right now I

1:00:35.840 --> 1:00:41.360
<v Speaker 2>have sixty seven clients. Wow, okay, So for twenty twenty

1:00:41.400 --> 1:00:43.080
<v Speaker 2>I went up to two grand. So now my one

1:00:43.080 --> 1:00:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I went to two thousand, and I go on other

1:00:45.240 --> 1:00:49.040
<v Speaker 2>people who are doing Airbnb and they're charging the same thing.

1:00:49.240 --> 1:00:51.720
<v Speaker 2>But we have the same systems. And there's other people

1:00:51.760 --> 1:00:54.320
<v Speaker 2>who are charging a whole lot less, but they're just

1:00:54.960 --> 1:00:58.400
<v Speaker 2>getting their feet wet. My feet are we like I'm swimming?

1:00:58.480 --> 1:01:01.720
<v Speaker 3>You see how many How many sessions do I get

1:01:02.440 --> 1:01:05.280
<v Speaker 3>with the one one? Is there a monthly time or

1:01:05.280 --> 1:01:05.800
<v Speaker 3>how that work?

1:01:06.080 --> 1:01:09.240
<v Speaker 2>No, it's we rolling. So once in the process we roll.

1:01:09.360 --> 1:01:11.400
<v Speaker 2>You called me how many every times? You need to like,

1:01:11.480 --> 1:01:14.880
<v Speaker 2>it's not it's not no allocated time. Yeah, it's no

1:01:14.920 --> 1:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>allocated time.

1:01:16.440 --> 1:01:19.680
<v Speaker 3>You also do a master webinar, Yes, I have webinars.

1:01:19.960 --> 1:01:20.880
<v Speaker 3>You talk about that little bit.

1:01:20.960 --> 1:01:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So my webinar is what I originally started off

1:01:23.080 --> 1:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>with before I started traveling on tour. So the webinar

1:01:26.320 --> 1:01:28.800
<v Speaker 2>was I think I hosted like two or three before,

1:01:29.240 --> 1:01:31.400
<v Speaker 2>and it's the same it's the same information that I

1:01:31.480 --> 1:01:33.680
<v Speaker 2>teach in my classes, except I had so many people

1:01:33.680 --> 1:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>that were out of state that I was like, well,

1:01:36.520 --> 1:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>there's no need to do it here in Atlanta, like

1:01:37.960 --> 1:01:39.520
<v Speaker 2>there's no need to have a class here in Atlanta.

1:01:39.800 --> 1:01:41.880
<v Speaker 2>So then I got to a point where my audience

1:01:41.880 --> 1:01:43.480
<v Speaker 2>became bigger. So I was like, okay, now I can

1:01:43.520 --> 1:01:45.760
<v Speaker 2>start going on tour. So my webinars was just for

1:01:45.880 --> 1:01:48.720
<v Speaker 2>me to jump out there to see what was going on.

1:01:48.760 --> 1:01:51.000
<v Speaker 2>And my webinars I would have like fifty and sixty.

1:01:50.680 --> 1:01:51.960
<v Speaker 3>People just touching.

1:01:53.280 --> 1:01:54.920

<v Speaker 5>This is really educational for me.

1:02:48.680 --> 1:02:51.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm definitely I'm definitely gonna try to get into into

1:02:51.440 --> 1:02:55.600
<v Speaker 4>the AIRBA. That's the fact because I stay in enough airbnbs.

1:02:55.600 --> 1:02:58.400
<v Speaker 4>We stayed enough airbn bes that is like we know

1:02:58.680 --> 1:03:01.120
<v Speaker 4>how it works and we utilize it so much. We

1:03:02.120 --> 1:03:04.560
<v Speaker 4>use airbnbs more than we use hotels at st.

1:03:04.600 --> 1:03:06.880
<v Speaker 2>And then one thing that I do say is every

1:03:06.920 --> 1:03:09.560
<v Speaker 2>time I go stay, I look for something that I

1:03:09.560 --> 1:03:12.320
<v Speaker 2>can use in mind. Oh yeah, yeah, it's something different

1:03:12.320 --> 1:03:14.240
<v Speaker 2>every time I go to a different Airbnb of something

1:03:14.520 --> 1:03:17.080
<v Speaker 2>like oh okay, well I can use this in mine,

1:03:17.120 --> 1:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>then I'll go get it, and I'll go to stay

1:03:19.000 --> 1:03:20.440
<v Speaker 2>somewhere else I can use this in mine, and I'll

1:03:20.440 --> 1:03:20.880
<v Speaker 2>go get it.

1:03:21.440 --> 1:03:24.720
