100% Booked! AIRBNB SLOW SEASON STRATEGY - How to host in seasonal and down markets 

John, help me..Il not exactly getting it. Im getting weekend stays only right now

@Johnathan Reichel _ Is November and part of December normally considered a slow season?

@@izi.z2384 unless we get a long term guest. Yes. It is slow now.

Thank you, more to come

OUCH

Yep yep yep!

Haha thanks. That was the whole goal. Lift for watchtime gains

Thanks :) trying to put a little more work into my edits to make life better on your side of the screen. Glad you like it

Glad you think so!

Glad you enjoy the quirky commentary.

@@AirbnbAutomated haha "revenge travel" was my fave. What a perfect name 😀

Ahhh. That’s a thing

Thanks Fam

I have a playlist on pricing strategy here on the channel

I want to tease the knowledge but would prefer they watch the whole video to not miss any goodies.

@@AirbnbAutomated - I need for you and I to purchase my very first property within a week or two. ♥️ Let's talk.

What do you need help with?

@@AirbnbAutomated - I want to join your student-base and be your poster-child coming out of Chicago. I have binge watched a TON of your videos and have limited capital to start, but I've been preparing for your mentorship. I have created a Business GMail account, a Business Instagram account, a Business Facebook account and now need help with establishing an LLC so I can do what you do full-time starting (yesterday). I have free time now and not working, so I can jump in. Watching you're "slow season" video and I'm wondering if I should use Chicago as my first property acquisition market or if I should look somewhere across the country. I saw that you started your first property ever for about $4,000. That's what I'm looking at, about $4,000 startup. I also seen another video where you say that there are some tips and tricks for possibly getting properties that are already furnished or that have been used as a prior rental arbitrage. The big final conclusion here is, that I don't have beyond $4,000 to start up, HOWEVER...I do have cushion funds that I may be willing to use for my first property if it means at least starting off with one major mamajama property. What I mean by MamaJama property...what would it take for me to get one single property that can get me net-profit of $3,000 per month all year round'ish after all is said-and-done? Is the answer to that a $7,000 start-up cost? An $8,000 start-up cost just to hit that $3000k/month (or so)? I'm willing to explore. Perhaps a $1800 to $2000 per month (per unit) net profit would also be great if I then had two of such properties, because then that could potentially be $4/month net. The only curiosity is what it would cost to be your student just to start me off in a matter of a week or so because that mentorship cost will have to also be factored into my overall start-up cost. All I know is.....I need this really bad. And fast for private reasons that I can tell you away from this public forum. I'm ready now. Just need to know how go start an LLC because I want to market myself as a business entity and scale from there on. We love you so much, bro..... you're an angel on this earth to so many people.

I would say if you started immediately you do have some months of time or Chicago would be good if you start in a few months it would be right before their worst months which would be not ideal but then the spring in Chicago would be perfect

I’ll have to get that link fixed. The 1-1 is clarity.fm/venom Classes.Milliondollarrenter.com has everything else

in the middle of slow season is much better than starting a month or two before. (as a newbie)

once you have property and you can soak some costs, then picking up more on the way in to slow season makes sense for the lease savings

Most definitely

check regulations

My business doesn’t have that structure currently, but it did for a short period of time so I could swing the bat at this

@@AirbnbAutomated thank you Sean.

DM me on IG

Game recognizes game!

Want a cookie

If you have some please bring cookies for the whole class

@@AirbnbAutomated hahahah got em

Yes. Changes are a bit more dramatic the more seasonal a place is but definitely yes.

you could try the Moderate/non refundable option

you have less than 10% of your calendar booked?

@@AirbnbAutomated No Sir, for the next 3 months, my Calendar is booked for 8 nights and when I go to the "Similar Listings" graph, my location (a Caribbean island) is 5-10% occupied at the most.

@@AirbnbAutomated Nationwide, August averaged about 12% with a 15% spike one week.

Oh I see. My intuition would be to expand your marketing practices to work with all local businesses that touch tourism where they might refer customers to stay at your place

Your profitable vacation rental would not be achievable without your cleaners. Too many people take advantage. It should be a symbiotic relationship.

I see your point but this video is not a video on how to make your housekeepers happy we have discussed the importance of housekeeper retention in other videos but this video is meant to solve a specific subject in a vacuum

@@AirbnbAutomated It's not about keeping your housekeeper's happy! You're right it's about keeping them employed! I have now written it in the contract before a home comes on bored. No long term stays without a mid stay cleaning. Just sharing information.😊 I like your videos and I think you give great advice. I just feel like the cleaners get forgotten about since I deal with that end professionally. Thank you for responding back.

In the specific video yes we are not considering the dynamic of the relationship between cleaners and the host because hosts can have many types of cleaner relationships where you are simply contracting out a large third-party company or you are employing them by the hour. Navigating that nuance is a complex topic for an entirely different video. Thanks for giving me something to think about

Sure thing. I have a link in the bio for 1-1

Thanks for the update. Links change over time. You can find all updated links using linktr.ee/rakidzich

Not likely. But look up local short term rental regulations and join a local host group online.

I went there

But look what he does for free. If he can help me acquire a 3rd of what he has we'd be even!

If he give all this game for free, imagine what the 2800 dollar course will give you.

I have a free course right here on RU-vid. My free course is 10x the knowledge of what any other paid course can teach you. I wall off my super secret stuff yes. But you don’t need that course if you’re not a host with multiple properties yet

(And I am bashing gurus that don’t teach for free and only charge) huge difference

The extras that you get with the course equate to saved time, and time is money. It's worth it.
