SAHM, earn passive income with Airbnb, I will manage your listing (City or Suburbs)
I'm a stay at home mom who manages Airbnb properties for myself and my friends. If you don't know Airbnb, you can google it and then get back to reading this...
For example, the space I rent in my own home is a finished basement with small bedroom, living room, and dry bar. We outfitted it with a free standing wardrobe, microwave, mini fridge, and keurig. It has been a huge hit and a large stream of income, so I encouraged my friends to let me do the same in their homes. They don't have time to set up the listing, and definitely no time to manage it, so I offer my services in exchange for a percentage of their revenue. The space can be located anywhere...city or suburbs.
If you have a living space in your home (finished basement, spare bedroom, servant's quarters...just kidding, that's a joke) that you are willing to rent out, I would love to be your manager. All you have to do is commit to renting out the space, and follow some basic rules of decency, like being kind to your guests and being helpful when you pass them by in your home. Also, making sure to keep the space in decent condition in between guest stays.
What I provide is the following:
1. Cleaning it (my standards are as high as you can get...your place will look like the Ritz) and setting it up to be a guest's paradise. I would use the items you currently own, so you won't need to purchase anything new unless you wanted to.
2. Posting it on the website, including photos, description, etc etc..it's quite the lengthy process. You can check out other listings on Airbnb for examples of what the process entails.
3. Coordinating with professional photographer (this is a free service the website provides) to have pictures taken.
4. Creating a "house manual" full of house rules, helpful hints, FAQs, as well as menus and contact info of nearby restaurants.
5. Managing all communication with prospective guests. Answering questions, taking reservations, making sure they are not serial killers, etc. The website verifies everything, but you still have to check certain things just to be sure..
6. Coordinating key drop offs. I would welcome the guests and show them around if I'm available. If not, we would work out how you want the key to be received. Personally, I leave a key for my guests in the mailbox. I'm not scared.
7. Managing all communications with guests during the duration of their stay.
8. Making sure they "check out" on time and with no issues.
9. Leaving reviews for the guests (it's part of the process...mandatory), and responding to guest reviews.
10. Cleaning and setting everything back up for the next guest.
So, if you'd like to make an income basically doing nothing buy offering your extra house space to guests, please contact me! This is legitimate. As you see on the website, everything is totally secure and on the up and up. I'm a normal person, just trying to make a buck for my family. I do have a college degree from Miami University and (shocker!) my degree is in Management, with a concentration in Entrepreneurship.
If you're wondering about income potential, I have made around $1200/month doing this. I charge my clients a 40% fee, because I'm basically doing all of the work, while they simply provide the space.
Looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks for reading this lengthy post.
