Good Day everyone,  Can someone tell me what is the total startup cost to prep a property for Airbnb including the cost to stage the property, hire management, buy all the dishes, toiletries etc.?

Hi Tonei, I don't think having a website is necessary at this stage of your business.

In our market, a duplex like the first one my wife and I bought that’s a couple blocks to the beach, staged really well, great pictures, good marketing, pays all of the debt service, taxes, insurance, and our net on the property is 50-55k a year.

As far as streets go, center st. and Locust have always been lower priced.

I was the one to stage the home, used a professional photographer that was excellent and I was the listing agent.

Now you will play the stuck up self centered douch.

It's more about them giving you solid advice, staging and maximizing your sale price.

We do a good job of decorating and staging our home so that would continue.
