How I hosted travelers in return for labor help with my flip
Hey BP Community,
I've been using a travel work exchange site for labor help on my live-in flip, and thought others here would be interested as it has reduced my labor costs to zero on some of my projects, so I wrote about it in detail here: The free and fulfilling way to fix up your home: Workaway and HelpX
More importantly, Workaway has provided a fulfilling experience for me and those I've hosted. It can be intimating and lonely rehabbing your first home, so if you're househacking, have the extra room, and enjoy international company, this could be a win-win.
This is not a site to be taken advantage of, so if you consider hosting, do be fair and show them a memorable experience if you decide to consider this unique channel of assistance. More about that in the article.
Cheers,
Drew
