It can be quite a process, but it doesn’t have to be. Setting up an Airbnb that is. After we have our perfect property ready to go we have to furnish it, install home automation tech, and provide details to our guests.
It’s crucial that we do not overlook anything because, as you know, our initial reviews can make or break the success of our STR. I recently got back from hopping around the US and one of the stops was in a city where I own properties and I was doing just this with one of my team members. So I'd like to break down the process for you in a nut-shell to make sure that you do not overlook anything during the initial setup. And if you haven’t set up your 1st STR yet well… then this can be your 15-minute handbook :)
This week we will discuss:
Making a plan
Ordering & Coordinating furniture
Setting up / installing furniture
Where to get help?
How long does it really take?
Essential rule to make sure you don’t FORGET anything.
