Try to always bring the heat!

i like he seems really honest aswell

Gradi Nzuzi Tell me about it! Life is Wonderful!

@airbnb automates @sean, hey man! Still looking to see your videos on acquiring rentals in the US and structring your rentals! As always great great content

I think youtube hid comment #2 I’ll have to look on my desktop

@@AirbnbAutomated I don't know why RU-vid would hide Comment #2 (maybe cause you spelled it youtube instead of RU-vid, jk), I saved my comment and will post it again, this time in the Graham Stephen video comments.

Sean - 2of 2 comments: This is in regards to the Graham Stephan video which I HIGHLY recommend to all of Sean’s subs and everyone else! Apparently Mr.Stephan is leery of doing Short Term Rentals (STRs) due to some cities putting severe restrictions or outright bans on them. These cities include New York (where I’m from), Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Berlin and other cities. Most of these are large cities with booming tourism and very diversified economies. I own 2 vacation condos in beautiful Mammoth Lakes CA. This is a very popular ski resort town. I bought my first property there in 2001 so I have been renting STRs for a very long time. Many smaller resort towns do NOT have a diversified economy; thus they rely heavily on the occupancy or bed tax that STRs bring in. Like Sean stated, these towns are addicted to this tax and especially when it is a major portion of their general fund. Of course there are exceptions to every rule but most of these towns will NOT ban or heavily restrict STRs. This includes most beach resort towns. @@AirbnbAutomated

saratheamazing99 partner with him through taking his course. There’s enough for everyone

You can’t transfer reviews between listings but they do affect the overall host account

You can. Sync the calendars!

End of the month at my wework will be our next round table

I’m brand new to your videos and listened for almost two hours and learned a ton and confirmed a ton of what I’m thinking and doing already. Thank you!

K A, an LLC is considered a 'pass through' tax entity (sole proprietorship, partnerships and s corps are as all) , meaning the entity is not liable for taxes, the owner of the entity is. Where an LLC makes sense if there is an asset(s) filed under the LLC. I.E. the deed to the home, but that's more protection from loses and being sued and siezed. On top of the fact some counties and states charge a filing fee for deeded homes filed under LLC's. Keep in mind a rental you can file for vacancy losses and mortgage interest and property taxes etc on your taxes ( not renovations however, but with a form 4562 you can report depreciation at the beginning of the year you did the renos). The 20% tax rule weighs heavily on how much you make a year through your business. A rental (from my last understanding) does qualify as being subject to this new 20%. But if you're just starting understand the filing, bookkeeping and maintenance costs may not justify the LLC. I am not a licensed lawyer, so take all of this with knowing to apply and investigate your own situation. As any good businessperson does, they use the current tax layout to the best of their situation, and right now for investors, it's a great time.

Maybe it was the same. Because that’s the ascent. Loved that building

Hah that was me filming. And I love shopping for gear, don’t give me another reason lol

Good to see you james. Thanks!

I’ve heard Arlington and grapevine are tightening up. I’ll have to read the legal on it.

@@AirbnbAutomated Any advice on that would help. I'm not too worried, like you said the city just wants it's tax money, but any info on that would be very helpful. Thanks for all you're doing

Big house! That will crush it

did he get back to you? what did he say?

Well if you had a different price point then you would stand out on a slightly better property, Airbnb like to push the more expensive places. So unless they adjust the price point then you would get shown first, and that's a big thing.

Great question! I'd like to know too!

I'm pretty sure he does AirBNB and direct bookings only.. He used HomeAway once and it went South so he stopped..I could be wrong..

Iron trap of a memory, Ryan

I use Air BNB, VRBO and Booking.com - you can use them all - just need to sync the calender's. Call all three and they will talk you through it.

@@AirbnbAutomated If you use multiple platforms like VRBO for the same property to try and increase overall occupancy on a property, will it have a negative impact on your Airbnb SEO? I Ask because in a previous video you said that booking more nights out get's you SEO boost and 'rare find' status boosts your SEO. Am I making sense? is it best to just stick with Airbnb only and crush it on their SEO stuff?

If you have more than five active properties you will get the feature!

Airbnb Automated well alright looks like I need to get to work and pickup some more units! Thanks for the help.

Just activate duplicates (different unit numbers or something) and then hit snooze on them all

You mad bro? I’m still picking up more. Leading the charge. (Without charge $$$ )

You can use Facebook Ads(easier to setup) or Display Advertising(harder to setup) or Instagram(only for high-end/luxury accommodation), but only when you figure out which 3 countries are the majority of your guests coming from.

@@comdala Ty for your answer! I should definetly give it a try! What do you mean by display advertising? And yes probably you are right that instagram will only work for high end luxury apartements! I guess you need something that catches the customer instantly by it's amazing look!

@@LEafdirt1 Display Ads are the banner images(picture ads in many different sizes rectangles, horizontal, vertical, ...) you see while browsing many sites around the net - they are created on the Google platform.

Ah okay. Ty :)

I was having fun with the Gary vee one (at the time was learning photoshop). What’s photoshopped on this?

Sean, check linkedin

travis bogdan I’m interested in co hosting if you’re in need of a remote co host

You cannot transfer the listing you would just create a new one from scratch

What’s a back link?

That’s like a vertebra right?

@@AirbnbAutomated You got it.

No that’s not the reason. I have 4 accounts Do you have another active listing or is your first one also closed?

What country is this?

@@AirbnbAutomated Turkey

@@AirbnbAutomated I try to make a huge business in Turkey / Antalya. It's a famous and touristic city but because it's not legal i don't know what i should do next. By the way i want you ask a personal question. Let's think that i never can make a business in Turkey because of that issue. If you were on my shoes ( i'm a guy who has nothing better to do), would you go to another country (wich is legal) and take your chances to make a business on Airbnb ? Thank you very much!!

Go to serbia!

Or Croatia. Somewhere with growing tourism

The link is actually at the end of the form.

Open it back up and skip forward

Hi Sean, you've already provided so much free value, I feel bad having bothered you at all about it. Please treat this as simply an fyi. I tried it again. I get to the part of the form where there looks like a url will be forthcoming but it just has and no following link.

You can rent private rooms. They don’t generate quite as much revenue per bed as renting entire spaces but it can be done

@@AirbnbAutomated thanks.

Sean ray is his name

With ULR

Thank You !

It’s my pleasure :)

Hello! You can actually book 1 on 1 coaching with me through this website Clarity.fm/venom

i think USA

Close caption error? That’s rich

Ufff. I must warn you I have coffee in my hand most of any day of the week. It gets pretty bad. I have an addiction

I did not badmouth Richard. I didn’t call him names or say he was unintelligent. He’s a good guy. I did say that alternatively my advice is easy and actionable where his is less so. Also there is still an element of TV to all of this don’t you think?

And I pay a million dollars a year in rent to make sure they have jobs, Karen.

Airbnb Automated You aren’t doing what you’re doing to give them work.

@@AirbnbAutomated The term used was "competitive rate" for your area. I can appreciate not having to pay more than what you have to Sean. Thanks for all this great info!!!

Thanks boss

Oh wait, you DIDNT pay a dime. Sit down

Did you at least enjoy the video?
