@Alex Yeater not sure if you got any follow ups on this, its been a while. not sure how far you are on your jorney. I ended up building one form zero and built 8 homes and the idea was to make them into a unitque venue. We are renting them on Airbnb and on our site as wedding but yes Airbnb does not have that option yet. They only cover your events if you have 16 guests or fewer. If you have more, they will not insure you. If you are still looking for options, let me know i'm in Canyon Lake Texas that's where my venue/airbnbs are.  

Don't underestimate any of these variables in order to grow on AIRBNB

- Research the market

- Present the property attractively

- Establish Clear Policies and Effective Communication

- Keep the property clean

- Know the local laws and regulations related to short term rentals.

Remember that success on Airbnb is often based on attention to detail and providing guests with a positive and memorable experience.

Did you find this information helpful? I read you!

In the world of remodeling, accuracy matters, even in spelling!

Choosing a contractor who excels not only in construction, but also in clear communication, is the key to a smooth and successful project. Because when every detail is explained correctly, it not only builds spaces, it builds trust. Choose a contractor who crafts perfection, word for word. 

Did you find this interesting, I want to know what you think?

Don't expect it to happen to you like it did to me and not get passed over for a misspelled word.

1) Buying a property that is almost ready to rent and compete in your market. That is, there are likely relatively few improvements to be made.

O

2) Buy a property not in as good condition (but in a good location) and invest to significantly remodel it and make it competitive.

Thank you.

How do you rate a new construction home compared to an older home that may look nice, but is still old?
