This is a great & interesting thread with very good points! Also - Aidan, I am also in Santa Barbara! Hello! :)

This is great, thanks! Just to double-check -- you're talking about adding alt text within your photos, NOT just the caption, correct? I just want to be sure because your text “Beautiful view of the countryside” could also technically work for the caption. Thanks! :)

Thanks so much, all! :) I am planning on refinancing out after 6 months! It should be rehabbed & rented after about 3!

Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $110,000

My 1st BRRRR deal, just purchased on 4/1/24. Stay tuned for the refi for final cash left in the deal & monthly cashflow!

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

To invest less cash in the deal, since I have limited capital. Also, to grow & expand into doing something new and scary!

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Through my agent team.

How did you finance this deal?

Private money lender (a family member).

How did you add value to the deal?

We are doing a $25,000 renovation (mostly cosmetic).

What was the outcome?

TBD!

Lessons learned? Challenges?

I'm very nervous/anxious about the refi since it's so unpredictable & 6 months out!

Looking forward to my first time at this event! Thanks!

Hello, my name is Krista and I have been hosting on Airbnb for over 5 years and have several years of professional experience in both the Real Estate and Hospitality industry, along with a background in Marketing. I have recently ventured out on my own and am offering short-term rental co-hosting/management services, fully remote (it doesn't matter where your property is!). I am your one-stop shop for all things co-hosting! I will handle everything from preparing the property, doing market research and setting up a stellar listing, to managing the day-to-day tasks such as communication with guests, optimizing pricing, scheduling cleaners, taking care of maintenance issues and of course maintaining communication with you. I also offer these services à la carte, if you just need one or two items taken off your plate. Overall, I am here to support any short-term rental owner who doesn't have the time or energy to manage their short-term rental, but still wants the benefits of that rental revenue!

Let's connect to discuss your current pain points and how I can help!

@Steve K. thanks! That's helpful!

Hi all - I have a new-modern day question regarding this: What about if I want to manage a "medium-term" rental (i.e. 30 days or more). TECHNICALLY, this falls within the long-term laws because there are only 2 categories - long-term or short-term. I have a client who wants to rent his home for 30 days or more, but not full year leases, just a few months at a time. Would I need a Real Estate License / Property Management business for this? Thanks for the help!

Old thread, but new modern-day problem & question related to this! If my state requires a Real Estate License to be a "property manager" - what about finding & placing "medium-term" tenants (30 days for more)? I have a client who wants to rent out some bedrooms in his house part time, but preferably for 30 days or more (not short-term Airbnb style). Thanks for the help!

Hey Megan, were you able to find any hosts to co-host with? I am looking to do the same thing in my area, and would love any insight you have as to finding clients! Thanks! :)
