I wanted to add my own tip to the list – automated property management!

I’m a very “hands-on” person so I was skeptical about automating anything at first…but I’ve saved so much time and money, I’ll never go back! They automatically handle all guest and house cleaner communication for me, AND they have smart devices which have totally changed my host experience. Their smart thermostat controls have been saving me money on my energy bill, their smart lock automatically sets codes for each guest, and their sensors alert me if there’s any suspicious activity on my property. Such a cool concept!

Obviously you are suggesting talking to your landlord and getting approval, however, the best option is to buy a property and use the money you earn on Airbnb to pay down the loan (mortgage). You can buy a house for “free” like this and save money! Happy to see that others are sharing their thoughts on hosting!

We`d been figuring out ways to make money as our incomes are not enough to pay for our daughters’ studies.

I really appreciate your commitment to your work.

My experience being ignored by my host was definitely uncomfortable. I would never book that Airbnb again! It doesn’t take much time or effort to interact with guests, and it makes a huge difference. Thanks, Sarah!

I would definitely feel uncomfortable if someone avoided me the entire time I was there. A little small talk is always nice! I also love the idea of giving your guest ideas for the area! Great post!
