Publisher's summary

Discover how to become a successful Airbnb rental host and earn massive profits, all without owning a single property. Ever since its launch, Airbnb has dramatically changed the idea of rental properties, making it more accessible for people to host their real estate for guests and earn serious money while doing so.

Airbnb hosts earned close to $60 billion in the United States alone. Because hotels are usually pricey and less accommodating, these short-term rentals play to the benefit of both, the hosts and the guests.

And as the above data points out, it’s become a great way to generate passive income, giving hosts an opportunity to find financial stability and become new-age real-estate entrepreneurs. However, you will notice that there is one common element at play here–most of the hosts own their listed properties.

Does this close all the roads for someone like you, who doesn’t own a property to list? Far from it. In fact, starting an Airbnb business even without owning a property is very much possible. And to begin, all you need is to follow a few simple steps….

In this beginner’s guide to starting an Airbnb rental business, you will discover:

  • A simplified, step-by-step approach to making money on Airbnb–without owning a property–in just 9 days!
  • How Airbnb’s business model works in your favor, and how you can use it to maximize your profits
  • A foolproof method of finding and securing the right property–from local laws to budgeting needs, find all you need to get started right away!
  • Five key reasons why guests choose Airbnb, and how you can transform your property to attract them
  • Listing it like a pro–the expert’s guide to listing your properties on Airbnb (with 10 proven tips to boost your rankings)
  • Pricing for profits–elevate your property by structuring your prices the right way and boost your revenue
  • The definitive Airbnb management guide–automate your way to success and scale your business to six-figure profits

An Invaluable Resource!

I knew a little bit about how Airbnb is a potential cash-cow, but I really needed a book like this. I particularly like that there is a section that teaches you how to make money even if you don't own the property. I will be talking to my landlord about this. This book doesn't leave anything out. There's even a chapter on preparing for guests! Don't you hate it when you book an airbnb, get there at check in time only to find the owner just straightening up? I bet they didn't read this book. :-)

Passive way to generate income.




A very well written book on real estate business.This book is a master piece for those who want to earn living but they don't own any property.


Personally the thing I learnt from this book is that quality of pictures matters a lot for selling or renting out the houses. I did these mistakes in the past by taking pictures of apartments with random mobile and posting it on websites. I learnt that the pictures should be taken in the way that they quickly grabs the attention of your audience.


The voice and pace of narrator was melodious, soothing, calming and satisfying. It pleases my aesthetic sense which helped me to understand the book easily.

ALL YOU NEED TO GET ROLLING!

My wife and I have been thinking about doing Airbnb with a vacation property, so in digging around, I came across this absolutely splendid book! Not only does Kay Carroll cover every aspect of running an Airbnb, she includes details and "insider" tips that are worth their weight in gold. There is so much here that we didn't know or even think about, but instead of feeling overwhelmed, her writing style and factual insight make it all seem clear and very doable. Highly recommended!
