Q & A

What is the main point Sean Rocky G is trying to convey about Airbnb in the video?

Sean Rocky G emphasizes that Airbnb is a service-based business rather than a product-based one, and success can be achieved even with limited initial capital by focusing on providing a good service and managing properties effectively.

What is 'rental arbitrage' as mentioned by Sean in the video?

Rental arbitrage is a strategy where one rents out properties that they do not own on platforms like Airbnb, profiting from the difference between the rental cost and the revenue generated from short-term guests.

Why might a landlord be more willing to offer free rent for a B-class property?

A landlord might offer free rent for a B-class property because it is often less managed and may have more empty spaces. The landlord is more willing to accommodate tenants to fill the vacancies and improve occupancy rates.

What are the advantages of targeting B-class properties for Airbnb rentals?

B-class properties may offer advantages such as less competition for tenants, the possibility of negotiating free rent, and the opportunity to upgrade the property's class through renovations, thus increasing its appeal and rental income.

What is the significance of choosing a studio apartment over a one-bedroom for a low-cost Airbnb setup?

A studio apartment is generally cheaper to furnish and maintain due to its smaller size. It requires less decor and can be made appealing with fewer furnishings, thus reducing initial costs.

How can a smaller square footage property save costs in furnishing and decorating?

A smaller property requires fewer items to furnish and decorate, such as needing a smaller dining table or fewer pieces of wall decor. This can significantly reduce the overall cost of setting up the rental space.

What is the benefit of focusing on properties with amenities like a pool or gym?

Properties with amenities are more attractive to guests and can command higher rental rates. They also perform well on Airbnb's search algorithm, increasing visibility and booking potential.

Why is it recommended to start with the basics when furnishing multiple properties on a budget?

Starting with the basics allows you to spread the cost of additional decor, such as mirrors and plants, across multiple properties. This approach saves money and provides flexibility to adjust the decor as needed for each property's unique features.

What is 'templating' in the context of setting up Airbnb properties?

Templating refers to using a single design or set of photos that can represent multiple similar properties. This method saves on the costs and time associated with unique photography and editing for each property.

How can the use of dark wall colors help with poor lighting in a property?

Dark wall colors can make a space feel more intentional and comfortable despite poor lighting. They allow for more flexibility with shadows and exposure in photos, enhancing the appeal of the space.

What is the importance of treating Airbnb as a service-based business rather than just focusing on the property itself?

Treating Airbnb as a service-based business means focusing on guest experience and satisfaction. This approach can lead to better reviews and higher occupancy rates, as guests appreciate the personalized service and attention to their needs.

hot take you can have very little money

and make money on Airbnb you can start a

cheap property buying cheap furniture

not having much cash in your pocket and

you can still be successful in this

industry everybody that you see on the

internet screaming that they're losing

money just did it the wrong way and in

this video we're gonna get to the truth

which is that this is a service based

business and not a product based

business which is great for you if you

really care about starting something and

you plan on doing a good job right if

you plan on doing well even if you don't

have much cash in your pocket you can

succeed in the short-term industry my

name is Sean Rocky G sure I have about

150 properties eight different cities

and one of my specialties is doing

Airbnb with properties that you don't

have to own it's called rental Arbitrage

and that is really the secret path to

doing this on the cheap let me give you

some tips for your first low-cost

property let's go Welcome Back YouTube

world you know surprisingly enough I'm

actually in a cheap property as I'm

shooting this video we just executed a

deal with a building that was probably a

C-Class property and a multi-family

Syndicate bought it and they're

renovating and they're putting granite

countertops in you know they're putting

new laminate flooring like stuff to make

the place more pretty and so now it's

like a b-class property and our rents

are under 1300 a month for our rents

here and this is Houston and so in this

space under 1300 a month is not a nice

property if you wanted a nice property

you'd be looking at Seventeen hundred

dollars a month in rent 1800 a month in

rent stuff like that sometimes people

are paying twenty one hundred dollars a

month in rent for a single one bedroom

property that's on Airbnb and you know

it could even go higher from there but

the point here is is that you could have

a price competitive product and if you

do it in a Thrifty way you can still

have it look appealing and I want to

give you advice for that appeal side for

making a property that will perform even

though you spent thousands less than

your competitor your nightly rate is

going to be tens of dollars less than

your competitor as well so it all comes

out in the wash so let me tell you about

how we do it Thrifty first thing you

should know is that with b-class

properties they tend to not be managed

well and because they're not managed

well there's going to be a pro and a con

here

um one of the pros of this is that the

landlord will have less occupants and

he'll have more empty space so he's more

willing to say yes to you he's also more

willing to give you free rent because he

just needs some people least up and if

somebody's under 85 occupancy for their

property it's less likely that they're

going to get that thing filled inside of

four months you know if they haven't

done a good job already so asking them

for a couple months of rent for free is

going to really be no skin off their

back right because they're like bird in

the hands or two in a bush so you're

going to be able to get free rent which

is an important part of this it could

cost you five or six thousand dollars

per door that you stage but if you can

get three thousand or four thousand

dollars of free rent now your actual

total launch costs as long as you

generated revenue for the two or three

months will be more like three thousand

two thousand dollars of actual cost per

door this is a big deal free rent will

be the key to recuperating your cash

invested you're still gonna have to have

to cash out of pocket but you can work

out deals for that too in this economy

I'm gonna tell you about how to do that

here in a second but still with the cash

invested you can recuperate the cash

inside of four or five months and you

can do it all over again now the cons of

a property that is poorly managed is the

main inside which means that when you go

walk properties that are b class or C

Class properties you're looking for

Diamonds in the Rough where you can tell

the management really cares about what

they're trying to pull off they just

need a little help if you find a slum

Lord somebody who's like really evasive

to doing like maintenance and you see

like there's maintenance issues across

the property I would ask pointed

questions about how they fix this or you

know who's the maintenance person on

site try to get a hold of that means

person and talk to them about how work

orders are handled you want to make sure

that you're not walking into a property

where the landlord will just forget that

you exist once he gets your rent check

this really is a partnership and you

need to treat it that way landlords that

buy b-class Properties or C-Class

properties tend to be more Scrappy so

they're more likely to see this as a

partnership which will be good for your

future endeavors picking up more doors

more buildings as they grow their

portfolio this can be an opportunity for

you to also grow your portfolio with the

same single landlord and another tip if

you're short on cash and you're trying

to launch your first property go with

this studio instead of a one bedroom and

go with maybe something that's like 450

to 500 square feet as opposed to

something that's like 800 square feet

because the studio will cost about a

thousand dollars less to furnish just

because that wall is not there you don't

have to worry about the Decor on either

side you might even need to do less

painting Now accent walls are a great

way to make your place look interesting

on very little money or very little

creativity and with the studio one

accent wall covers everything and on the

topic of square footage the more square

footage you have to fill the more Decor

you'll need to buy because in order to

make a good looking short-term rental

you don't want the place to look Barren

or unnecessarily minimalist without a

plan and so you'll have to fill your

walls or Corners your spaces and to have

a slightly smaller square footage space

it's just easier to make more happen for

less money with that instead of a six

person table a four person table or

maybe even one that only seats three

like a round one instead of having two

nightstands and a dresser and a wall of

shelves and plants and stuff like that

you might just need one night stand an

easel mirror and a couple of plants

because the less square footage of the

space this really does save you a lot of

money and will go a long way now the

other side of this from my experience my

seven years doing this you will

eventually want to diversify maybe pick

up some three bedroom or four bedroom

floor plans and you can do a great job

of picking up three bedroom floor plans

in like Garden style Apartments like

b-class apartments that have a pool has

a gym still sleeps a good amount of

people because it's a three bedroom but

the rents are going to be a little bit

cheaper and you won't have to go through

all the repairs and Renovations that a

house would need so you can service

groups of people like you can sleep nine

or ten people in a three-bedroom

apartment just fine and it will pop up

well on airbnb's search algorithm

because you'll have those amenities

you'll have an outdoor grill a pool gym

things like that so an amenitized

b-class Community is a great alternative

to a house because if you got a house

and that house has a yard in order to

perform well on Airbnb in my experience

with the single family home you have to

do a lot of work on the yard space the

yard space would be That Make It or

Break It amenity that gets people to

book your home at a good nightly rate

once you start to get more into the

luxury side of short-term rentals a good

Decked Out yard is like the one thing

that you have to have with the house

because if you have an expensive house

without an awesome yard there's just way

too many out there that have it and this

is where you will actually start to lose

your competitive Advantage so while

you're still getting your cash right

three bedroom floor plans like 1100

square foot three bedroom apartments

with pools and gyms is going to be your

move and so you'll diversify you'll do

Studios and you'll do three bedrooms and

you'll keep doing them in apartments

because they have the amenities that you

need maintenance is cheaper it's easier

to get the free rent now additionally as

you start to launch multiple properties

at the same time this is where you're

not super cash broke because you're

doing four or five doors at once but

let's say you need to stretch your cash

on four or five doors because you you

know maybe have 20 000 bucks and you're

trying to get Five Doors done for 20

grand that's a tall order isn't it well

you could just do the bed and the

headboard and the table and the TV and

the couch and stuff and you could get

the very Basics probably for a three

grand or 3 500 per door unless you use a

magic trick which I'm going to talk to

you of course in this video other things

you can do but if you did buy everything

out right new you could probably get it

done for just over three grand for all

the basics in a studio and after that

you probably spend another fifteen

hundred or two thousand dollars on what

I would call staging props now you will

eventually buy all of these staging

props for every single unit but you're

going to skate on this you're going to

get a stand-up mirror and these really

extravagant fake plants and you're gonna

get books and baskets and stuff that

fills up the photos to make the photos

more like a full-on Decked Out Airbnb

more like home and for all five

Apartments you will move a thousand

dollars worth of stuff from door to door

to door and get all those photos taken

and as you collect Revenue because

remember you should be getting free rent

on these deals anyway you get eight

weeks of rent for free as you start to

collect revenue on some of these doors

you will buy extra plans and you'll buy

extra mirrors and you'll complete the

staging of your listing with all those

little knick-knacks as you get the cash

for it but you could save six thousand

or eight thousand dollars on a launch by

not buying five x the decor only buying

one extra decor and shoving that stuff

around for your photo shoots we're

actually doing that right here because

we're doing something called templating

and let me kind of give you another

secret when you pick up 16 properties

like I'm doing with this building here

we have 16 units we're picking up we're

doing something called templating now

templating is where you buy very basic

Furniture very basic stuff and let me

show you some photos this one set of

photos will be relevant for four

separate airbnbs and then another set of

stock photos will be representative of

another three or four airbnbs as well we

take one design with a very key accent

wall color very key plant distribution

very easy to Stage layout and we take

one set of photos but we keep staging

four units and the other three we never

take photos of the other three because

they're identical so you can save money

on professional photography you can save

time on the photography you can save

time on the photo editing there's a

bunch of cost reduction here and at this

point too you get to use the props now

because we have a brown theme here and a

blue theme here for this property we

have two sets of staging props which

means we've spent double the money but

we're not cash broke like I said in your

case you might only want to go with one

actual design theme now one thing I do

want to bring up since we're on the

topic of the photos that I I just showed

you this listing has a terrible lighting

situation because it is a b-class

property there's actually no ceiling

light in the living room for this place

which means we have to buy external

lights floor lamps other stuff like that

but we haven't found any that we like

yet so we just have gone with the basic

like table side lamp kind of look for

now now we were able to offset what

could have been an obvious lighting

issue by the way that we did our design

very specifically our wall color because

we're using neutrals basic neutrals

whether they're the Grays the blues the

Browns we are choosing accent wall

colors that will allow our furniture to

feel more present in the photo make it

feel more intentional and that dark wall

color allows us a little bit more

flexibility with shadows it allows us a

little bit more freedom to run with

manipulating exposure and it just gives

the listing a little bit more

personality a little bit more texture

and it makes the darkness make sense the

fact that there's not as much light in

some of these photos it makes it easier

to make sense ends of the darkness

because the wall color is dark things

are supposed to be a little bit darker

it just makes the darkness more

comfortable and so if you are doing

mid-class properties like like the ones

that I'm talking about here cheaper ones

and you're buying neutral Furniture like

dark Grays or dark Blues consider using

a dark wall color that accents your

neutral furniture and then let Pops of

color like like really bright greens or

are like really bright yellows like

little bits of Pops of color let those

come forward in your photos to start to

give your listing that personality that

it would need to still perform well on

Airbnb you'll also notice that we have a

couple photos that are just for the sake

of making it look like somebody

professional did this we've got the

chair with the mirror and the plant and

then we get that stand-up mirror with

the plant behind it I will tell you that

that's my signature move the easel

mirror with the plant that whole thing

that's my thing anytime that we have a

blank bedroom that's just Barren and

ugly looking and we need to fix it fast

we'll get a throw blanket some nice

pillows a stand-up mirror and a really

tall plant that fans out and that alone

will flip your bedroom from look talking

like nothing to looking like this

minimalist intentionally designed this

way looks good kind of thing of course

it's not the best bedroom in the world

but again we're not doing a luxury

property we spent maybe 900 on

everything that you see in that bedroom

and that is saying something when trying

to ball out on a budget so now let's get

Thrifty let's get really really Thrifty

like I was saying you could actually not

spend money on full priced stuff and

right now this economy is one of those

economies where you could really start

to save some money there are people

legitimately just giving away their

Furniture right now just handing it off

like somebody please take my stuff I

can't afford my lease anymore my

landlord wants to be gone I don't have

time to sell the furniture and I don't

want to spend the money to store it so

we'll just give it away you can get a

lot of free furniture right now and you

can repurpose that furniture into

whatever your next place is and

thankfully like I said a lot of people

have been doing this wrong they thought

this was a product based business they

bought really expensive product they

bought really good furniture they

overspend and now they got to give it

away so you can do this now let's say

you pick up a bunch of lamps a bunch of

like couches and beds and stuff the only

things you're really going to spend

money on are like little bits of Decor

that really unify everything that you

purchase accent wall painting or accent

wall design it doesn't have to be paint

you can do a plant wall you can do other

things but you'll spend a little bit of

money on decorn design and accents and

then you might spend 15 20 per lamp

shade and buy different colors of

lampshades and then 15 20 per pillow and

buy different color of accent pillows so

now that that staging props thing will

have an array of different color lamp

shades so that way when you take photos

you take the white stupid lampshade off

the top of this one lamp and replace it

with a charcoal one or a sky blue one

something that's just more congruent

with the space and it's not expensive

just like the girls who go out like to

prom and then return the dress later you

could actually even return these land

Shades after you do the photo shoot and

just replace it with the white one that

you own you could literally get away

with that these are little details that

people really don't actually care about

in space but when you take these photos

and you want a good concurrent design

and the photo matters so much then yes

switch out a lampshade for 15 or 17

bucks change out the pillows and find

one that just works best for the photo

because even if you don't keep like a

literal lime green pillow on the bed

throwing a lime green pillow on the bed

for the photo might be one of the most

important things you could do just for

the sake of your photo and make sure you

do a little bit of reading on design

Basics because you'd be surprised how

far having just a couple of vintage

books having a couple of fake plants

having a black item like a black vase or

a black statue that you can incorporate

into photos and having pops of bright

color along with large amounts of deep

dark saturated color and how these all

can come together and you can just keep

replicating variations of the same

design you'll be not only surprised but

impressed with yourself at how far you

can make the same five items go for the

sake of photo shoots like we literally

will move like a little flower or a

little plant from room to room to room

to include it in our shots if we have

nothing else to work with this is

Scrappy stuff guys and my last bit of

advice for you on this I think when it

comes to actually designing your place

remember that you are trying to serve as

a guest right we're not just trying to

appease them with the photos to get them

to book with us but we have to make good

on our delivery once somebody does book

with us so like I said this is a service

based business you're going to be

selling yourself the conversation that

you have with somebody connect with them

ask them questions help them have a

wonderful stay and this is going to be

one of the easiest ways to get five star

reviews with a product then people say

oh this was like a 2.5 star hotel but

make sure that their connection with you

is the bar that you're holding for the

review that you're asking for because if

you are completely disconnected from the

guest then yeah they're going to review

your home on what they believe to be a

five-star scoring for hotels or

something but when you make it very

clear that what you provide is a service

like hey you're going to stay in my

place I've made the place for you I've

set it up I'm going to help you find

restaurants and other things to go to

the amount of service that you're giving

them beyond the stay itself is going to

be Paramount to the five-star review

that you can get now as far as the kind

of customer that you're serving you

might find that you're near a hospital

like we are walking distance from one of

the Methodist hospitals right here which

means that our kitchen might be one of

the most important things that we can

offer here because people who are

staying for an extended period of time

will want to stay at home and cook they

need a good sturdy dining table they

need a fully stocked kitchen and they

need ample amounts of eating utensils

drinking utensils everything that they

can come and kind of settle in now I

will recommend that you have a washer

and dryer on site if you also want to

have longer stays I would recommend that

you have a gym if you want to have

longer stays if you're going to have

longer stays I'd recommend more neutral

and safe than soft colors and I think

this darker wall color will do just fine

we'll find out but braver design Styles

tend to be good for short-term impulsive

stays people who want to stay somewhere

kind of cool for a few days those more

Brave design Styles will get somebody

who knows if they're not really staying

too long to want to try to experience

something new if you want to get longer

stays people are going to be more

Discerning about where they stay and

they're going to be looking for signs

that they're not going to regret their

choice so swing for the fence and doing

some sort of weird thing or making the

place entirely pink or something like

that won't be something that people want

to stay very long for they might want to

stay there a couple of days so be

mindful of where your property is

geographically located to like points of

interest and that will help inform some

of your market research and what type of

customer you should expect to have but

again at the end of it all whether you

have a luxury product you have a cheap

product whether or not you just knocked

out of the park with like the like Fendi

wallpaper or whether you went to Ross

Dress for Less for your Decor if you

service your customer and treat this

like a service based business connect

with them through the messages right

away try to give them a service via

concierge as the value add you're going

to get five star reviews for your cheap

place and airbnb's algorithm is so heavy

on occupancy and five star reviews right

now thank you so much for watching this

video guys and as always I'll see you on

the other side
