today i'm gonna teach you how to buy an
airbnb step by step this isn't really
planned out so there's gonna be no fancy
editing no frills and no non-sequiturs
that you typically see on the channel
which by the way have we ever thought
about how awful ducks are fun fact the
pet that i wanted growing up when i was
a kid was a cow
we would pass like a farm going why dad
you'll never have to mow the yard again
well that was fast i'm gonna try to give
you as much detail as possible with that
let's get into step number one and
that's going to be setting your goals so
i know that this might seem like very
obvious and very like well duh but it's
really important to have an
understanding of what you want out of a
short-term rental out of an airbnb
before you get into this wild wacky
marriage because here's the deal if you
want to quit your job or if you want to
make supplemental income or if you just
want to have a property that you own
like let's say that you're you know in
austin and you want to own a place in
fredericksburg which is right outside of
austin you just want to break even you
just want a free place where you can go
and hang out whenever you want like
that's a whole different mindset than if
you're trying to quit your nine-to-five
job so try to be realistic with yourself
a lot of people getting into the game
want to eventually quit their job and if
that's you that's totally fine but the
way that you approach short-term rentals
is going to be so focused on the cash on
cash return whereas if you're trying to
buy a place that just kind of makes
money but you're fine with it because
you just want to use it personally and
in that case the return might not really
matter all that much to you and if
that's true then congratulations like
your search criteria is just about to be
completely blown open because you're
gonna have so many choices when you're
not tied to that cash-on-cash metric
whereas if you're trying to make
supplemental income you know quit your
job you have to really go through your
investments with the fine-tooth comb so
i'm honestly trying to decide if like
fine-toothed comb was the correct thing
to say in that moment but i legitimately
don't remember what the last thing i
said was so we're gonna move on to step
number two here which is gonna be to
nail down your strategy now when i say
you nailed down your strategy here's
what i mean there are so many ways that
you can approach airbnb you can house
hack where you buy a house and rent out
rooms in your house or bonus spaces in
your house or maybe an adu and you use
that money to subsidize your mortgage
you can also do rental arbitrage which i
talked about a week or two ago don't
really know when this video is coming
out and that's where you go when you
lease an apartment and then you go and
sublease it on airbnb or you can go and
buy a second home property with the
intention of completely cash flowing or
you can go the glamping route or you can
go the duplex route i mean there are so
many different strategies that you can
implement with airbnb and this is
honestly one of my favorite things about
airbnb specifically is that there are so
many entry points for every single
person out there no matter what your
budget is no matter what your
credentials are there's always a way to
break into the game and so if you're
interested in learning about the top
five business models within the airbnb
industry i've made this handy-dandy
little pdf right here that kind of walks
you through my pov and what i like about
each of them and by the way throughout
this entire video i'm gonna be linking
out to different spreadsheets and
handouts so you can download all of
those for free and i would highly
suggest doing it because it's gonna help
you on your journey to finally starting
your airbnb business if you've been
putting it off until this video okay so
you've decided between maybe renting out
a room in your house or buying a house
or rental arbitrage or whatever once
you've done that
you're gonna do something else
right you're gonna get pre-approved all
right so this is actually really really
important so this is something i really
want you to do as early as possible and
just in case you don't really know what
i mean here what this means is going to
a bank and filling out an application
and seeing what you qualify for from a
home purchase perspective because
basically if you don't know what you can
qualify for then you're going to be
wasting a lot of time so if you make
forty thousand dollars a year but you're
sixty thousand dollars in student debt
and your debt to income ratio is shot
like mine was when i got out of college
you're not really gonna be able to
qualify for a very big mortgage that's
gonna really dictate you know the rest
of the steps that we're going to be
talking about today so you really need
to get an understanding from your
mortgage broker about what you can
actually qualify for and just a heads up
here most of the time when you're
getting qualified conventionally from a
mortgage broker they want to see a dti
meaning a debt to income ratio no more
than the 40 to 45 percent range so
here's how a debt to income ratio works
if you make 10 000 a month but your debt
is 4 000 a month let's say it's 2 000 a
month on credit cards and 2 000 a month
in student loan payments like everyone's
getting out of college that's four
thousand dollars divided by ten thousand
dollars that means you have a forty
percent debt to income ratio so in that
circumstance a bank depending on where
they fall in that forty to forty five
percent range really isn't going to lend
me much if anything at all now to give
you another example let's say that i had
two thousand dollars in debt and the
house that i wanted to buy was three
thousand dollars a month that would put
me at five thousand dollars a month or a
fifty percent debt to income ratio and a
bank would more than likely send me an
email that says dear robertito you are
too poor you're not going to lend on
this little go find a good mortgage
broker to answer all of your questions i
like one brokerage a lot it's david
green's firm i'll leave a link down in
the description for you if you want to
connect with them so that was probably
too much of a tangent but personally i
think it's very important to understand
the mechanics of what it takes to
qualify for a loan and this is why i
want you to get pre-approved as soon as
possible because as soon as you have
that pre-approval amount then you can
actually go out and make an offer you
can't really go out and make an offer on
a house without a pre-approval letter
and you're going to want that anyways
because what you're pre-approved for is
really going to guide you in step four
here which is picking a market and the
reason being is that if you're approved
for 200 000 then you're probably not
going to want to set your sights on los
angeles or new york or san francisco you
might have to stay in the midwest or
some parts of texas or so many other
places in the country but effectively it
helps you understand where you can and
can't buy so when you're picking a
market there are four different places
that i'm always looking at i like
national parks state parks eclectic
cities and vacation destinations so
national parks and state parks for the
most part i feel like that's pretty
self-explanatory but just in case you
don't know caleb you know leave the
definition somewhere on here when i say
eclectic city what i mean is it's
usually a city that's in between two
cities or it's a city that is right
outside of a very popular destination
eureka springs would be a really great
example of this very eclectic town has a
draw to it people are always going to it
it's got like cute shops and great
restaurants and everything like that
julian outside of san diego
fredericksburg outside of austin those
types of places places that for whatever
reason people just love visiting
vacation destinations would be like
beach towns mountain towns lake towns
anything like that or tourist towns like
hollywood or orlando home of disneyland
and disney world which is allegedly the
happiest place on earth but let me tell
you i've gone with two kids it was far
from a happy time have you ever gone to
i mean like it's like they they pitch
you on this idea that it's gonna be all
magical and you're gonna be on boats and
you're gonna be singing songs with
freaking mickey mouse but but really
it's like you're finding like whatever
food you can to give your kids it's like
some kind of fried food or some like 18
sandwich and then it's like you know
noon comes around and you have to decide
do we stay here or do we go home because
it's about to be nap time and if we miss
nap time all hell will break loose for
the rest of the day after we get home
however why would we want to leave at 11
a.m or 12 p.m we spent 139 dollars per
ticket it's literally like three or four
hundred dollars just to have gotten to
this point and the tickets were 300 but
the parking at disneyland was 500 so
what are we gonna do so anyways when
you're picking a market you really have
to ask yourself why why do you want to
invest here you want to invest here
because you heard rob built casually
mention it in this video i wouldn't do
that because i was just grasping for
straws here on the moment you want to
invest in a market because you
personally have been there you like it
you've been a tourist there and the idea
of getting to visit it every so often as
the owner of a house in that market
makes you excited then yeah okay great
that might be an option do you want to
invest there because you have friends
family there or random cousin who's
willing to be the boots on the ground
awesome you want to invest there because
you've done a little bit of research and
you found out that that particular city
is on the rise for short-term rentals
and it's going to be appreciating like
crazy over the next 10 years whatever
reason it is i just want you to have a
why i want you to pick the reason
yourself i have a lot of students in
host camp and a lot of people reach out
like daily that's like should i invest
here where should i invest i'm like
wherever you want to invest that makes
sense for you my job isn't to just hand
pick markets for you my job is to help
you choose markets and understand why
that market might be a good idea and how
to analyze that market and see if it's a
great investment so anyways that's like
a unofficial host camp plug again you
can go to hostcamp.com and book a call
with my team
also when you're picking a market it
would be very ideal if you ran an audit
okay so go to redfin trulia zillow
realtor.com wherever you want to go and
just start looking at houses and see
what they cost there right so we have a
general understanding at this point what
you're pre-approved for let's say it's
350 000 now i want you to go into that
city on redfin i want you to put a max
of 350 000 and i want you to see what
that actually buys you is it buying you
a decent house in a decent neighborhood
or is it buying you kind of a crummy
place and so thus maybe it's a better
idea to go and find a different market
you know you have to go and run an audit
and understand how far your money will
go in that city and then while you're
writing your audit i want you to go and
research the short-term rental laws and
regulations and see if airbnb is even
legal there because you never really
know a city could be totally for it or
totally against it either way you're
gonna have to do a little bit of
research moving on to step five here and
i'm pretty sure i didn't even say steps
one through three i just started at four
this is step five once you've picked
your market you're gonna move into
finding a realtor this is really one of
the more actionable and tangible steps
that you can take first really big one
being getting pre-approved and then
finding a realtor and with these two
steps you can literally go out and make
an offer i want you to go out and do
everything that i'm showing you here but
finding a realtor is very important and
ideally you want to find a realtor that
understands short-term rentals i usually
call realtors and i interview them a bit
and i throw them softballs and
curveballs and i'm like yeah so do you
invest do you know what airbnb is and if
they're like yeah i think i've heard of
it and i'm always like yeah okay thanks
for your time
ah
how do you not know what airbnb is
hey
right back at you
no no no i'm just kidding i'm just
kidding well if they don't know what
airbnb is then i'm probably not gonna
use them okay so it's very important
that you find a realtor that at least
understands like the concept and like
the perimeters if they're an actual
investor themselves or if they know
people with airbnbs this is just going
to be really huge because they may then
be able to actually give you anecdotal
evidence or povs or insights into the
actual market that you're trying to buy
in now i know that finding a realtor is
very difficult and let's just say that
you know homeboy over here is working on
his realtor's license and if you want to
find a realtor that specializes in
short-term rentals or if you need a
realtor at all i finally have a system
in place where i can help you do that i
can connect you with the realtor in my
network anywhere in the country so if
you want or need someone that
specifically specializes in short-term
rentals send me an email to this email
right here okay and i'm also gonna leave
it in the description down below and
i'll get you connected with someone who
can help you anyway however you decide
to find your realtor it's very important
that that realtor gets you on a list and
what i mean by a list is they get you on
an auto generated list that fits your
particular criteria the bath count bed
count square footage price whatever that
is then anytime a home within that
criteria hits the market it'll
automatically send you that listing to
your email okay step six here i want you
to spy on your competition what i mean
by this is i want you to go to airbnb
and start looking at the neighborhoods
that you're interested in buying in and
start just doing a competitive audit on
how well your competition's doing so
let's just say that you find a specific
neighborhood and you're interested in
buying a three bedroom two bath go into
the airbnb filters put in three bedroom
two bath and take a look at all the
listings that pop up that might be
similar to yours and start just looking
at their interior design uh generally
speaking in this neighborhood are people
pretty good at interior design do they
have great listing copy do they have
great photos everyone in this
neighborhood just a complete design nerd
and you're not really much of a designer
and maybe you can't compete with all the
awesome hosts in this neighborhood so
thus maybe you want to invest in a
different neighborhood or does everyone
suck you know this happens all the time
did people take photos of their listing
with the potato phone and thus all you
have to do is come in and take
professional photos and just buy
furniture that's not from goodwill and
if you do those two things you could be
the king or queen of that neighborhood
right so doing a little bit of research
spying on the competition seeing how
well they're doing looking at their
calendar seeing how booked out they are
how much money they're making this is
going to be really really helpful for
you in determining this is an area you
want to invest in step number slavin
okay we're going to speak about step
number seven in this whole entire
process still deciding what accent that
was but step number seven is analyze
your deals okay i'm not really gonna go
into super detail into this because i
actually have an entire video that's
overlaid over my face right now where i
actually go super in depth on how to
analyze i'm just realizing that this is
a very awkward way to hold my hands but
what i want you to take away from this
step in this video is that i think that
you should really learn and master the
art of comping airbnb deals okay when i
say comping i mean pulling up comps
seeing how your competition is doing to
me this is by far the most important
skill you can have as an airbnb investor
host entrepreneur i really do hammer
this process over and over and over
again in host camp really just drill
this into my student's head like how to
do this because it can make or break the
deal right it can really determine if
your deal is a 10 a 20 or 30 or 40. i
had someone that came to me with a 50
cash-on-cash deal and said you want to
partner on this i was like heck yeah but
then i ran the deal with them and it
ended up actually being like a 10 to 15
maybe a 20 in a perfect world and i just
walked through the process with them i
was like you're missing this expense
this expense this expense have you
looked at this have you seen that your
competition is doing this and you don't
have this right so it's like a whole
process that it's very nuanced and it's
very important to just sharpen the skill
as much as possible again my other video
on analyzing airbnb really goes into
depth here but i want you to do this 30
40 50 times i want you to do it 10 times
a day 20 times a day until you're
comfortable enough to make your first
offer boom you've analyzed the deal
you're ready to go you found a cutie you
found a little croissant boom you've
analyzed 50 deals you finally found the
one you said rob i've done it i've found
the one that comps out at 21
but if i really knock it out of the park
it's going to be at 25 or 30
now what okay this part is crazy all
right so just write this down you're
gonna make an offer oh what i'm gonna
make it but it's so scary it's becoming
real rob it is becoming real and here's
the cool thing making an offer is pretty
easy your realtor really does all the
work and then you sign the paper right
make sure that you understand the terms
make sure that you understand the
contract that your realtor explains that
to you and i'm not saying go out and
make willy-nilly offers but if you go
when you make an offer and it gets
accepted there are certain opportunities
for you to walk away and still get your
earnest money back now understand what
your contract says it's going to be very
specific to your state but it's not like
if you make an offer that's it you have
to buy it you have to buy it right then
and there i walk away from deals that
i'm in escrow on all the time it's not
because i want to but it's because maybe
i uncover something during due diligence
maybe the inspection came back bad maybe
the appraisal was right under and i was
able to walk away from those deals and i
was still able to get all my earnest
money back because i had things in my
contract that allowed me to walk away
from the deal so let's just say that you
make an offer and it all goes super well
inspections were great you negotiated
with the seller maybe appraisal came in
just a hair higher than the offer that
you put in and all is good and great
should take you about 45 to 90 days to
close on the loan sometime sooner we
actually made an offer on a place last
week and we're actually getting funded
on it in like the next week or two super
fast gonna probably be the fastest loan
that i've ever closed then i've also had
stuff that's gone out like 120 days so
just be prepared here and just
understand that your mileage may vary
moving on to step number nine here i
don't even know if i said step eight on
the last one but it doesn't matter step
number nine here is going to be to
remodel and furnish now you may not be
remodeling at all but maybe your place
needs a little tlc a little tickle a
little laugh and a little cuddling you
might need to go paint the walls or rip
out the carpet or change out countertops
or remove bodies from inside the wall
like whatever that ends up being set
your budget from the beginning and make
sure that it falls within your overall
budget and however much cash you have in
your bank account and that you're
comfortable with making the investment
in your remodel now for me when i'm
seeking out airbnbs for the most part
i'm trying to spend like five to ten
thousand dollars on remodels max i'm
trying to get more turnkey houses these
days because i just don't have the time
to go and put the sweat equity into it
but you starting out for you to get a
really great deal you might have to go
and do a little value add so you just
have to factor that into your budget
then you also have to furnish it now
furnishing is its own topic as well and
i have an awesome video on this this is
actually one of my favorite videos i've
ever done and i think it's a crowd
favorite too it just walks you through
the entire philosophy of furnishing your
place okay but since i cover this in
depth in this video i'm gonna keep
moving on here but i will say that you
want to budget about 10 a square foot
minimum to furnish your place so if it's
2 000 square foot place it's going to
cost you about 20 thousand dollars to
furnish now for me i do have some bougie
champagne taste so i'm usually going to
be in that 10 to 15 000 range so if it's
15 a square foot and it's a 2000 square
foot place it could easily cost me 30
000 to furnish it most of the time i'm
falling in between though but if you
want help staying in that 10 dollars per
square foot range i have a full
furniture list like literally everything
you could possibly buy everything you
possibly need for an airbnb put it
together in a free pdf you can have that
too all you have to do click add to cart
buy i've done all the hard work for you
took me many many many hours to put this
this together but i use it for all of my
airbnbs so go forth get those credit
card points furnish your airbnb and you
know you're welcome that's it you're
welcome after you've done light
renovations or you remodeled it and
you've furnished it the place is ready
it's ready to go oh my gosh we did it we
made the offer we closed the place we've
remodeled it we furnished it we're to
the finish line right rob well not not
really not quite to my tempo no honestly
i think if you've analyzed it you've
gotten it under escrow you've closed on
the house hard part is that over but
like half of the hard part is like done
but now we're moving more into the
airbnb side of things okay so once it's
furnished you're gonna hire a
professional photographer i cannot tell
you how frustrating it is when people
ask me to review their listing or give
them feedback or advice on their airbnb
listing and the photos that they've
taken on said listing was taken on the
freaking blackberry from 1993 and i'm
like dude why would you spend 10 20 30
000 on furniture and 40 to 150 000 on a
down payment but you won't spend 150 to
800 on photography to make your place
sing
oh that was stupid oh i hate that that's
even in here well to be fair it is like
10 45 at night i haven't recorded a
video this late it's been a while moving
on hire a professional photographer i
mean really if there's one thing you
take away from this video please just
pay like 500 bucks for a photographer i
promise you that my ear itches and i
also promise you all right that it's
worth it i promise you that if you have
great photography it's gonna pay for
itself over and over and over again
there was one time i took cell phone
photos and then i replaced them with
real professional photos and then
literally like that same day i got four
requests and then the request that i
took turned out to be a ten thousand
dollar request over three months you
just cannot beat the roi on great photos
a lot of my listings are in southern
california if you're in the southern
california area i highly recommend my
good friend bark her studios he has
literally like i attribute a lot of my
youtube success to him
no way uh-oh get in the back please
[Music]
he took this photo of conejo which was a
thumbnail for the first youtube video of
mine that ever just went truly viral and
just completely blew up and then my
whole platform grew as a result of it
now obviously i think the video was
probably pretty good too but i mean a
good photo could be a reason you cry or
smile or laugh about a memory or the
reason you click on a youtube video like
my thumbnail videos or the reason you
spend thousands of dollars to book an
airbnb or the reason why someone else
spends thousands of dollars if not tens
of thousands of dollars on your airbnb
so really just spend the money here okay
or else i'm not gonna let you watch this
channel anymore anyway moving on to step
number eleven once you have your pro
photos guess what you can do you can
actually make your listing make your
listing on airbnb okay upload those
photos write good listing copy this is
more important than ever with all the
airbnb changes and the redesign of their
website get those keywords in there that
really will help you rank for all the
different categories on the airbnb
website and yeah just like put a lot of
time and energy into making sure that
you razzle dazzle people with your
airbnb listing and guess what i have
five amazing tips for you in a
handy-dandy pdf what you have so many
pdfs rob yeah you're welcome i make
these to help people because i just want
to see you succeed so you can download
that for free and it'll give you my top
tips which was actually my next name
back in high school anyways it'll give
you all my top tips on how to have a
great airbnb listing and while we're at
it since you're here if you sign up with
my airbnb link you'll actually get 75
when you host your first day on airbnb
and guess what i'll get to be your
airbnb ambassador isn't that cool be
connected in a cool small little way and
you get 75 bucks of which i'll expect
you to venmo me half because i mean it
was free money anyway so it shouldn't
really be a big deal for you to give me
a half or honestly 90 of it because if
you still took 10 of that 750 that you
wouldn't have made either way so anyways
i'm getting tired we're gonna wrap this
thing up well kind of shoot
we got so much to go i was like i'm
gonna knock this out in like 45 minutes
but when you're wrong you're wrong okay
have these broken out into two different
steps but i think i can kind of combine
them we'll just say steps 12 and 13 is
setting your pricing strategy and
setting your automations now with your
pricing strategy it's gonna take a while
to perfect this it usually takes me
about three months to really settle on
how much i'm actually charging for my
airbnb typically starting off small as i
gain more reviews i increased the price
and i use an automated pricing software
called price labs which is basically
dynamic pricing this means that
depending on the market supply or demand
on any given day they have a very fancy
fancy very very um smart
algorithm it determines the best price
point for my place compared to all of my
competitors that's honestly relatively
inexpensive and it's completely
automated so i really like the software
and if you want 10 off your first month
i'm gonna leave a link in the
description for you um also spoiler i'll
also get like a little i think i get
like 10 bucks too so tell you what if
you sign up with that link i won't make
you venmo me half of that 75 dollars
from signing up with my airbnb link all
right we're even now step 13 is going to
be setting your automations i actually
have two videos on this that you can go
and binge right after this one i think
is called how i self-manage 10 airbnb
properties without living in the same
state the other one is called this is
exactly how you self-manage a property
and why i'll never hire a property
manager they're both good i really like
the why i'll never hire a property
manager one because it really just gets
into some of my more up-to-date
philosophies but for setting automations
i really like gusty for hosts and when i
say setting automations i mean
automating my communication like all of
my messages so that whenever someone
books my place i don't have to send them
a message that says hey thanks for
booking my place i have a software
service that sends that out or they'll
send them check-in instructions or
checkout instructions on my behalf and
it helps make airbnb a little bit more
of a passive investment for me you can
also automate all the scheduling with
your cleaners you can also automate
leaving reviews for your guests and
asking for reviews there's so many
things that you can automate these days
that really i mean it makes your job as
an airbnb host a lot easier again i use
guestie for host that's ideal for people
that have four or less listings if you
have more than four listings they have a
fancier version called gusty for pros
but if you're interested in using them
which i use them by the way you can get
two free weeks when you sign up with my
link down below let me just say that i
understand that this video is like hey
use this link or this thing or contact
these people over here download this or
download this like all of this is stuff
that i've been compiling for literally
two years and it's just like my catalog
of stuff that i give out to people to
help you on obviously it helps me
because then you're like man thanks i'm
gonna i'm gonna like your video
which obviously you've done now and
maybe if you liked the video at the very
beginning and you're like well how can i
continue to support you drop a comment
hit the notification bell hit the
subscribe button whatever
i'm not going to beg for it please
oh picking the devil i just got a 985
985.52
inquiry on airbnb okay step 14 after
you've set all your automations you're
gonna assemble your dream team it's
gonna be hiring your cleaner making sure
that you can find someone trustworthy
that's gonna show up make sure that it's
clean by 4 pm when your guests are
checking in you can hire your handyman
very important person that you're going
to want to have on your roster because
they're going to come and fix things
when they break ideally the cleaners
communicate with the handyman and they
can help automate that further for you a
lot of the times i've gotten really
lucky and my cleaners have actually been
married to my handymen and that's really
the greatest situation ever but that's
probably not gonna be the case for you
so just find someone that's reliable
it's nice to have a roster of people
that you can just call because handymen
don't always answer so if you could have
like two maybe three then you'll always
have someone that you can call you'll
also need to hire pest control because
we don't like roaches or mice in our
airbnbs i've had it all i even had a bed
bug like two weeks ago and then it
turned out that it wasn't a bed bug it
was a bat bug we spent 1200 on the wrong
procedure because we didn't even have
that bugs oh man it was a whole thing it
was a whole thing outside of pest
control a good contractor would be
someone to have on call to a pool
service and lawn service that's your
airbnb avengers so to recap cleaner
handyman contractor pool service lawn
service and pest controls that's six
people i mean the pool service obviously
like you don't want like a a hot pool
guy if you don't have a pool well
actually maybe you do
[Music]
i'm not here to judge anyway that's
gonna be your dream team interview them
you know really put them through the
ringer like ask them questions and see
what their process is and how they do
things the cleaner out of all these is
the most important though so but really
i try not to negotiate with cleaners too
much whatever rate they say for the most
part i'm gonna pay it because a happy
cleaner will leave your place cleaner
and thus make you more money because you
can have better reviews and people
booking your place more because the
reviews are good and once you've found
your golden unicorn cleaner you can get
them all set up on co-keeper to go that
extra mile to make sure that your place
is being perfectly maintained and well
kept and well cleaned oh we've done it
we've gotten to the last step which it's
like not really but for the sake of this
video it's the last step and this is
gonna be operate and optimize okay
you've listed it you've got the
professional cleaners you have your
dream team now it's time to launch like
go live it's not gonna be perfect all
right you're gonna have a couple hiccups
might have some failures you might have
some wrinkles that you have to iron out
the first three months of your listing
are so crucial because this is where
you're gonna be really just optimizing
everything you're gonna be leaning on
your guests to tell you what wasn't
perfect and it's gonna be on you to
correct those things okay so a lot of
people try to launch with a very perfect
airbnb it's just not gonna happen you're
gonna miss something i miss stuff all
the time all right i'm very honest about
this on the channel like i mess up all
the time guys the reason i can come onto
youtube confidently and then teach all
my students confidently is just because
i've done this for so long that yeah i
still make mistakes but i learn from
them very quick a bad host never learns
from a mistake a good host is happy to
have made the mistake so that they'll
never make the mistake again embrace
failure my friends it's fine it's fine
to fail because we do not become airbnb
experts from everything going right we
become airbnb experts from everything
going wrong and then we learn from it
and we get better okay so operate fail
make mistakes optimize and if you do
that you're going to be just fine
anyways that's it um i hope this was
helpful i'm so sorry if it seemed rambly
but that's who i am at this point if you
don't know that that means it's kind of
your fault like if you made it to the
very end of the video and you're just
now realizing like oh my gosh you
rambled the whole time like i didn't ask
you to stay well i probably did but i
didn't make you stay but that's it
that's the t on buying your very first
airbnb step by step obviously there's so
much that i left out here because it's a
youtube video but again if this video
wet your whistle which is you know just
the weirdest phrase ever and i've never
used it before up until this oh man
you guys ever breathe a little bit and
then your heart hurts and you're like
you gotta wait it out
one second
like my whole childhood i thought i was
the only one i was like man there's
something wrong with me and then you get
older and everyone's like that happened
to me too and you're like and you get
older and you're like i'm not dying and
i'm not alone anyways moving on if this
excited you and you want to learn more
and you desperately want to get into the
airbnb game but you just don't know
where to start or you don't know how to
scale or you don't know what to do then
