Co-Host in Gainesville, Florida

[Anthony Simeone]

Hello, my name is Anthony! I am an active real-estate investor and Airbnb host who is looking to branch out and help other hosts in my area. Over the past 2 years I have been able to crack the code for my own STR and am confident I am able to branch out and help others. I have used BiggerPockets a lot throughout my journey from the rental calculators to getting lenders for my first BRRRR property, so I figured this would be a good place to start my search!

This is my current listing which I have been 100% responsible for all aspect of:

Even if you are not currently a host in search of property management feel free to share any information you think would be helpful. I am in the beginning stages so I am unsure how to scale and market my services.

Hi Anthony, First off, it looks like you did a great job with this particular Airbnb. As to any insight to offer for what it sounds like you'd be interested in doing, I do have one case study that might be of interest to you. There is a Bigger Pockets investor that started with some successful Airbnbs he personally manages of his own in Nashville TN & Columbus Ohio. After he was successful in being more profitable than his neighbours (one thing he's done well with is driving traffic to his direct booking sites to cut out the host sites that take so much in fees) he started taking on investors that put the 20% down for say a DSCR loan. Then as equal partners, he handles all of the property management/bookings. He's so far done well with that model with a couple of Airbnbs here in Gainesville & elsewhere. I'm sure there are several different models you could pursue. This is one that seems to be working for him.
