Lost my job on about a week ago (their loss) and I’m looking to start my own business. I’ve always wanted to venture into the Hospitality industry (managing vacation/short term rentals, Airbnb and Vrbo properties since I can’t afford to own one yet) . Any help or pointers I could get right now would be very helpful. No capital yet. Nothing but God, Faith, and big dreams. Please send ideas, referrals, homeowners,and prayers my way🙏🏽♥️

I run a few airbnbs and i own my properties. I get a small premium compared to renting. As an example, one property would rent for ~$3k/mo and my Airbnb nets me $4k, but I do my own cleaning (don’t worry, readers, I’m OCD so it’s literally better than professional).

If I had to outsource the cleaning at market rate, it’d be ~ $180 per cleaning. Doing the math, you’re practically only making money by being a cleaner. If that works for you, go for it??

The main money is in owning the property in the first place … my recommendation is to get that salary W2 and get into your own place before starting the Airbnb track. That’s my personal and honest experience and it’s the story you are less likely to hear on TikTok.

Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?
