Post: A Money Making Device for Your Rentals

I've been running the experiment for a couple weeks now.

I'm using a SenseCAP hotspot with the antenna that comes with it.

The set up was confusing to me since I'm not a computer tech person. I had to have someone explain the language and details to me.

In hindsight, it seems quite simple.

WEEK 1

I average $1 per day by just placing the hotspot on my TV stand near a window on my 1st floor. It was about 2 ft above the floor.

I could have done better if I'd placed the device on my second floor, but I was intimidated by trying something new. I was my own worst enemy because the learning curve was taxing on me and I wasn't checking in frequently enough with my older brother who is mentoring me.

I probably wouldn't have fully set the device up if I didn't have a mentor.

WEEK 2

I relocated the hotspot to the top floor of my commercial building. It's now about 25 ft above the ground and sits in my laundry room. It now earns on average $2 per day using the weakest antenna but in a better location.

NEXT

I’m waiting for a special cable to arrive so I can connect the hotspot to an outdoor antenna that should give me 5x the broadcasting power.

I'm expecting to earn between $7 and $10 per day.

Stay tuned.

AND ... while you're waiting.

There are many types of furnished rentals.

The version that's getting all the post-pandemic attention is "Extended Stay." That's when a traveler need the rental for a few months instead of just a few days.

This is the type of furnished rental essential workers line up for. They don't want to be in any little smelly hotels.

How about you join me for a live webinar today, September 22nd at 4pm Pacific / 7 pm Eastern.

Let's talk about all the benefits and especially the cash flow benefit.

You're able to collect a hotel-size monthly rent without all the churn associated with regular Airbnb.

RSVP Now and we'll hold a seat for you.
