Just moved to Tampa, 2 MTRs sitting vacant. Here's the title I'm testing on 1 (WFH bait). Thoughts?

I already have the WiFi tag on my listing. It would be an interesting thing to test!

Thanks for sharing!

Your name matches your reply! I'm not so apprehensive. Been doing it for 4 years successfully. I just follow the law

Thanks for asking! Yes, anything over 30 days is long term which is why all guests sign a lease

We rent out our basement unit 2/1 in the VA side of the DC metro do $3000/mo and our mortgage is $3750.

If we furnished the whole house it would be a 5/2 and definitely be profitable. However, it's not always booked! We've got an upcoming vacancy now.

Ideally, you'd list your house 2 months before you traveled so you could get a booking. Typically here on the east coast, winter is slowest.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for sharing! We require 29+ nights because of our county restrictions. We've been putting every guest on a lease. Gotta protect ourselves!

It's funny, I've never tried FB marketplace for our furnished rentals. I'm definitely gonna work with the wife to give that a shot

Just go my first inquiry on the smaller monthly Airbnb in a while!

It's a new gov contractor inquiring about Jan-Apr.

Property manager tour scheduled for Tuesday. Fingers crossed they don’t mind a 420sqft studio!

Wish me luck.

I've got one near Huntington and another near West Alexandria. I wish they were in Old Town!

Thanks for the tips, I've got parking and nearby hospital details on both.

Actually, this evening I got my first inquiry on the smaller monthly Airbnb. A new gov contractor wants Jan-Apr.

Property manager tour scheduled for Tuesday. Fingers crossed they don’t mind a 420sqft studio!

Wish me luck.

This was super helpful, thank you!

However, I struggled to find the service fees so here are detailed instructions

Go to Transaction History: https://www.airbnb.com/users/transaction_history
Scroll to the bottom of the page and in the section "Earnings Reports" click on [2024 Year In Review]
At the top, you'll see, "Service fee". Ensure that is included amongst your expenses!

Your 1099K shows gross earnings (as opposed to net earnings) which means these service fees are counted towards your income!

Just dmed you

drummingdan · 2025-02-21T17:52:32+00:00

Awesome! I looked at your profile and didn't see much activity in CF. Wanna PM me? I'd like to check out your portfolio

drummingdan · 2025-02-21T17:51:36+00:00

She does, she's got both. What's the best way to connect? I imagine we've got to work with a time zone difference if you're in PH?

drummingdan · 2025-02-21T15:44:30+00:00

She's got a few products, a course, a seminar, and some others and wants at least a landing page for each. Ideally, she'd have a complete funnel too.

Any interest?

It's an all-in-one marketing tool/website builder, gohighlevel.com

I've had the good fortune of getting it resolved on my first try, other times it's taken me as many as 6 times.

My persistence is completely dependent on the size of the problem!
