The Padsplit Review: Pros and Cons Living In A Padsplit! 6 Month Resident 

@trepapi6539 that is correct! Some rooms do have a private bathroom but it cost more. Most ppl are willing to share the bathroom for the lower price

@MADLOVEUNIVERSE444 Thank you so much! and if you have any questions I didn't answer, please ask!

@@Chinaglo24 I think u picked a bad padsplit! Definitely complain and ask for your money back. I promise you that there are good ones. Sorry that's your experience

@GahJah in my area housing situation fits into my budget so I'm stuck but I will keep looking but thanks you for responding.

@Chinaglo24 always my friend! And while ur at why not hit that subscribe lol I'm trynna grow my channel

Woop woop! We love a 5 star host!!

@@GahJah thanks! I know it might be a little more, but why not select a PadSplit with a private mini fridge to avoid food conflict? So my 3 takeaways from your video as a prospective host is… 1) no fridge in kitchen… instead put a decent size mini fridge plenty large for one person in every room… 2) ALL cabinets in kitchen + bath not only get numbered by the room; each person also gets dedicated kitchen and bathroom cabinets and drawers. How would it be dedicated without other members digging in? Easy… a simple combination lock 🔒. So for example Room 1 gets let’s say 2 bathroom drawers and 2 kitchen drawers with a unique lock and unique combination. Room 2, 3 , etc also get it. So if you want to store your TP 🧻, soaps, etc in the bathroom it’s safe. Also in the kitchen you’d even store your unique glasses and dishes and do your own dishes so it’s always clean to your own standards and kept locked. 3) Each room gets their own cooling and heating mini split system instead of the main central AC system and members can adjust as they please. I’m wondering what your thoughts are on all of this? especially the lock system and if you’d be willing to pay a tad bit more for these additional comforts if offered to you on a listing? Is there anything else a prospective host can do to give you a better experience? Thanks!

@edwardg6206 so for first takeaway. There is some issues with that. Typically a mini fridge isn't good enough for storing meats and some ppl don't cook right away so a freezer is still necessary. Also, it is a bit inconvenience to have to go to room for all food items. I think the best way to do this is to have 2 Fridge in the kitchen that is numbered off by room #. That I'd be willing to pay a little extra for. For the 2nd one. Codes on cabinets in kitchen would be a blessing lol. I do see how it would make the bathrooms amazing but I would say u would attract more females( which they usually get the most expensive room in the house) as from what I seen these guys carry very little with them. Would I be willing to pay more for the kitchen cabinets with locks heck yea but the bathrooms nah. I got like 3 towels and all my toiletries fit in a single drawer, but I could see somehow wanting to pay for that as it increases privacy. For the last thing, HECK YES! My room is on the 2nd floor and when they set the thermostat to 75 degrees it reads from the 1st floor so it's nice and cool down there and it's a blaze up here plus I have a large windows and this is Texas. Definitely, I see any member paying more for the a/c thing!

@edwardg6206 Also, I recommend adding a cleaning service fee. Say it's $100 for a cleaner to come once a month. Split it between all the 6 or 7 ppl and divide into the weekly cost because nobody wants to clean the bathroom because they know someone else can do it. I would throw money at the landlord if he could talk everyone here into it.

@@GahJah So for the mini fridge… they start at I believe 3.1 cubic feet (that’s too small)… I’m thinking of doing 6-7 cubic feet which would be a combo fridge + freezer 😉 so you’d have plenty of space for everything including meats and ice cream. I can see how it would be a bit inconvenient though to grab stuff from your room to take to the kitchen to prepare meals but it would solve the issue of people taking your stuff. If it were a larger 6-7 cubic feet combo fridge + freezer, would you still require a full size shared fridge in the kitchen or would that suffice? I’m just trying to do everything I can to cut down on conflict so members are happy. I’m trying to think… if I were to live in a PS, what would I like? and the thought of having to share a fridge… and even share cabinets and the same dishes doesn’t appeal to me. I’d personally leave 😂 and search for a private fridge and if possible private drawers… that’s how I came up with those solutions. How much more would you be willing to pay for week for those solutions? just wondering… So for example in the market I’m looking to work rooms start at around $175 per week… given a private fridge + combo locked private cabinets and drawers + arguably the best 100% control over heating and cooling in your room… where would be your pain point to stop 🛑 + $25? so from $175 to $200…? + $45? $175 to $220…? + $75? $175 to $250…? another level? Honestly, I’m doing this more so for the comfort of members than money since that’s the way I’d personally want it but a bit extra funds to cover my expenses would be helpful. Thanks!

@@LadyAzama no prob! Stick around as I have alot more planned

@tasundrastephens That's actually a really good way to do it! A guy who was here for a month is a missionary, and he goes around the US using a padsplit to help him spread the word. Definitely cheaper than a hotel and safer than an extended stay

@@GahJahI’m trying to find remote jobs that so I can work and travel. Maybe I’ll try to Lyft with their rental cars or something I’m not sure. But a remote job would be perfect.

@tasundrastephens I just got this travelling sales rep job, I start next month. Maybe look into traveling sales

@@tasundrastephens also if gave us ur subscription that would be amazing! Trynna grow this new channel

@@GahJah got you

@KingTragedy27 ngl! Due to the nature of padsplit. Most host won't take pets, but I would look on Roomshare.com because you can create a deal directly with a home owner rather than going through a middle man applicant

@@GahJah yo thanks alot much needed!!

@phillipedwards2500 u sure can! I actually do Lyft and uber and live in here. Once ur making some decent money on those apps it should be fine. I would say like $400 - $600 a week! If u do decide to use padsplit please use my link 🙏 I'd be very grateful! Any other questions?

@maliisadrable5994 well you technically don't need a car to live in a padsplit. I've had many roommates that used Uber. Just avoid the car part and sign up. Then later on u can put it in

@@maliisadrable5994 if u follow me on instagram: @zjmont , I can send you a video of what that page looks like

@Chimpgurl88 so that one depends on the host and the ppl who live with you! If u are reported they will charge you $25 fee. At my location, everyone brings guest and we all have a mutual understanding once u aren't being too rowdy

@phillipedwards2500 great question! If you decide to pay the application fee and move in fee on day one then it will be around $150 - $300 depending on how high the host made the move in fee. However, they do offer a payment plan where they separate the move in fee intl 4 payments that are added to ur regular weekly rent! If u do go and get one, would really appreciate the link use 🙏

@@Prospek23 Thank you sir

@jyudomassan When you apply they will ask you to link your bank accounts that you get paid into! As long as ur making a decent amount with uber/door dash and regularly deposting it into your accounts, it will work! It may disqualify you for more expensive rooms though like $200+ a week If the consistency of payment isn't high enough.

If you do decide to do it. I would be super grateful 🙏 if you use my link. Let me know how it goes and if u get approved

@@GahJah i was looking for a room with private bath. Bc i can't share bathroom with other people. And they start from $225 in my area. Shared bathroom start from $150.

@@GahJah turns out you can pay upfront to get approved too. But idk how much will i have to pay ans will that payment be used towards my rent and move in fee. Or it's just another fee on top of rent and move in fee.

@@GahJah i appreciate the prompt response brother🙏🏽 unfortunately i already had an account before i watched your video. I just hadn't applied for the membership😔
