Negotiation Tips for Airbnb Arbitrage + How do I Present My business Plan?

[Vanessa Lule]

Hi all,

I’m in talks with a landlord about leasing a property for $3,600/month, but that’s above my budget. I plan to negotiate the rent and I want to present my proposal to show how I’ll manage the property responsibly. The landlord asked for a website, but I don’t have one yet. I’m considering two options to present my plans:

1. Creating Google Slides pitch deck, or
2. A detailed PDF using Google Docs.

Which would be more effective for pitching my Airbnb arbitrage business?

Also, when it comes to negotiating the rent:
- Should I ask for a phone call or virtual meeting to discuss the price?
- Would it be better to send my proposal and negotiation request via email first?

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s successfully pitched a landlord for Airbnb arbitrage or negotiated rent for a corporate lease. What approach worked best for you?

Thank you in advance for any advice and insights.
