I think the number one question I get asked about my short-term rental investment properties is how I manage them from afar. I might seem like a complicated thing to coordinate on the surface level, but once you’ve dialed in your systems and automation, your Airbnb business can function as a well-oiled passive income machine.
From a weekly standpoint, I’d say I probably spend 3-5 hours managing all ten of my rental properties. Through empowering cleaners, having a roster of contractors and handymen, automatic messaging and dynamic pricing tools, I’m able to run my vacation rental business on autopilot. I’m less in the weeds these days and more an observer from a bird’s eye view.

Show Notes:
One reason I love Airbnb is that you can use it in so many different ways. You can rent out a spare room, rent out your home when you’re on holiday, rent out a vacation home full-time or even sleep on the couch in your living room and rent out your bedroom. Yes, I know someone who does that :).
But you can also build a business around Airbnb. And that’s exactly what today’s guest has done. Eric Moeller is the CEO of Homtel, a technology driven luxury short-term rental leasing and hosting company based in San Diego, CA. He’s also the host of the Airbnb Mastery Summit and the creator of co-host mastery.
Eric has used several business models to build his hosting business in San Diego. He has used the re-leasing model, purchased his own units, managed units for other hosts and he has partnered with investors using his co-hosting model. In short, he’s killing it. I’ve been following his journey and if there’s anyone I would want to learn from it´s him.
That’s why I invited him back on the podcast. I spoke to him in an earlier episode and it turned out to be one of the most popular episodes that I’ve published.
In this episode we talk mostly about Eric´s new co-hosting business model and how it´s different from the other models. Eric developed the model in response to stricter Airbnb regulations that popped up in San Diego. They no longer allow hosts to have several units on Airbnb.
We also speak about what hosts can do when they find themselves in a similar situation. For example, one of the listeners asked about Long Beach, where new regulations are probably come into effect soon.
Join Eric Thursday November 1st at 5pm PST for a live training and learn how to build an Airbnb business without leases, security deposits, or owning property.

Show Notes:
Today I chat with John Oden, superhost with properties in Nashville and Florida. John hosts his properties with his wife Ellen under the brand Stay in the South. He’s a firm believer in offering his guests the best hospitality possible by creating outstanding guest experiences. Here’s how he does it.
1. We really focus on building a great guest experience, and we do so by making sure we absolutely nail the basics. Cleanliness is #1 – we are fanatical and impress that upon our housekeepers, who are wonderful. Getting our technology right – the fastest WiFi we can get in every property. We have just gone through a round of HD-TV updates where we have a HD-TV with cable and WiFi in every living room and each bedroom. The last two homes we updated, we went with 4K TVs.
2. Coffee! Guests love it – we have a Keurig coffee system in each property and are also adding a secondary drip coffee maker in each property for those who prefer it.
3. Lighting – we use LED lighting everywhere, inside and out. Almost eliminates bulb changing. Dusk-to-Dawn lights outside, and festive string lights over the outdoor courtyards and decks.
4. Prior to guest arrival, we have all the TVs on, and have the place lit up so the guests arrive to a bright and lively space. Especially important when guests arrive after dark so they aren’t trying to find their way through the shadows.
5. Beverages – we provide bottles of water in the fridge, coffee service with sweeteners, creamers, tea bags, tea kettle.
6. We also ask about guests preferred beverage, maybe a bottle of red or white wine, craft beers or even something totally different. We have that waiting upon their arrival.
7. Personal hand-written note in the guest book, welcoming the guest by name, thanking them for booking with us and encouraging them to call or text anytime if they have a question.
8. We contact our guest immediately upon booking, or even inquiry, and offer our local expertise to help them find things they might not find on their own. We ask them about their plans and things they would like to see and do, and make suggestions based on our local knowledge.
9. We communicate multiple times before, during and after the guests stay.
10. We publicly respond to every guest review, 93% of which are five-star. We thank the guest for choosing our place and booking their stay, thank them for their kind words and for taking care of our place.
11. We don’t sweat the small stuff. Glasses get broken occasionally. Towels or linens get a stain, or small items go missing. The cost of these things in trivial in the big picture, and we’d never try to recover costs from guests from these small issues. Cost of doing business.
12. My goal is to respond to every inquiry, booking or question in less than five minutes. With phone, text, email, and OTA apps on my smartphone in my hand, I hit this goal most of the time. Always within less than an hour. Typically within minutes.
13. We aim to build a relationship with our guests from first inquiry. We aim to begin building goodwill long before the guests arrive at our property. By the time they arrive, we have a relationship, and this helps if problems come up (Internet outage, house mechanical issue, etc) and if an issue does arise, we get on it immediately.
14. We realize we can’t make everyone happy all of the time. When we have the (very rare) unreasonable guest, we deal with them graciously, and let it go.
15. We care about our community. Every one of our properties was an abandoned disaster when we acquired. We have saved all of our properties from abandonment and have returned them to a beautiful state, which increases the value of the entire community. We make it clear that our houses are not party houses, that quiet hours are to be observed and that we expect guests to be respectful of our neighbors and neighborhood.

Airbnb Hosting EP 198: How to Use Facebook to Enhance Your Airbnb Business
Show Notes:
Perhaps the greatest challenge of being a remote host is building a relationship with your guests when you can’t be there face to face. Airbnb was founded on the principal of personal connection, but when your listing is in the rural village of Dudeldorf, Germany, and you are a thousand miles away in Spain, how do you go about making the guests feel at home? Or providing personal recommendations for seasonal things to do?
Niels Becker has designed a truly genius approach to remote hosting through a listing Facebook page. The page functions as a sort of interactive, continually updated guidebook, providing guests with timely information around events in the area, like the popular Christmas market. In addition, the Facebook page promotes Niels’ listing as his satisfied guests like and share the page with their contacts.
Beyond his experience in the short-term rental market, Niels also manages several long-term rentals in Dudeldorf. Today on the podcast, he compares the revenue earned via Airbnb guests versus tenants. Niels explains how he secured public funds to restore his properties, why he chose to try Airbnb in one of those investment units, and how he finds information for his Facebook page. Listen in and learn his unique approach to remote hosting and why investing in rural communities is your safest bet.
Topics Covered
Niels’ decision to try Airbnb:
Rents several units long-term (near US airbase)
Had trouble renting small studio
Listed studio on Airbnb six months ago
The particulars of Niels’ investment property:
Beautiful area near border with Luxembourg
Area losing residents to large cities
Working to preserve heritage
Provides funding to restore historic buildings (to modern standards)
Niels’ Facebook page:
Solves problem of being remote host
Shares interesting things going on in area, nearby villages to visit
Entries mined from local Facebook groups
Provides most current, updated info
How the Facebook page promotes Niels’ listing:
Guests ‘like’ the Facebook page
Guests contribute their own photos, reviews
Guests’ contacts exposed to listing
Book Now button links to Airbnb
Long-term rental vs. Airbnb:
Niels currently making 2X for studio
Going into low season, but bookings still coming
Comparable to long-term units (location, furnishings, architecture)
How Niels manages his units from home in Spain:
Relies on local cleaning, management services
Rest is automated (e.g.: lock box for entry)
Sends handwritten note as photo through Airbnb to welcome
Always available to guests through Airbnb messaging
The Airbnb-friendly regulations in rural Germany:
Short-term rentals, tourism encouraged
Many empty units (opposite problem of cities)
Earns less revenue than cities, but property more affordable
Niels receiving very good ROI

Welcome to Get Paid For Your Pad, the definitive show on Airbnb hosting featuring the best advice on how to maximize profits from your Airbnb listing as well as real life experiences from Airbnb hosts all over the world. Welcome.
Jasper: This episode is brought to you by Hostfully, a company that helps you make beautiful guidebooks for your listing. Make your own at Hostfully.com/pad and as a special for Get Paid For Your Pad listeners, you’ll get a free guidebook consultation after you make your guidebook.
Welcome to Get Paid For Your Pad Episode 198. Today I’m very excited to talk to a super-host from Germany who has been using Facebook as a way to provide local recommendations to his guests and also as a way to promote his listing. This is something that really interests me, because I think a lot of people are looking to promote their listing, looking to find ways to promote their listings outside of Airbnb and I think Neils has done a really good job. Welcome to the show, Neils Becker.
Neils Becker: Hi Jasper. It’s good to be on your show. Catch me in my home office here in Spain.
Jasper: Good morning, I guess it is for you. It’s late afternoon for me here in Taiwan.
Neils Becker: Alright.
Jasper: Neils, could you share to start your story. I know you are an investor. You have five units under management.
How to Build a Lifestyle Business Hosting Remotely (Ep496)
Wouldn't it be great to be able to operate your STR business from anywhere while you travel and explore the world?
True freedom is being able to operate your business from anywhere you are or feel like waking up in the morning.
But is that really possible? And if so, what are the pros and cons?
Sean McGregor is the Chief Experience Officer at Stay Work and Play. A digital nomad, Sean loves working remotely while traveling with his family. He's an Airbnb Superhost with over 2500 reviews and a 4.96 overall rating. His hosting story appears in the book Hospitable Hosts: Inspiring & Memorable Stories From Airbnb Hosts Around The World To Educate & Motivate.
On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Sean joins me to discuss how he turned his STR business into a lifestyle business hosting remotely with property owners all over the country—most he's never even met in person.
Listen in as Sean shares how his business took off after he completed Legends X. He'll walk us through the tips and tools he learned from the program that have helped him hold fast to the goal he lives by for his digital nomad family and his ambitious host oath.
Plus, the business hacks he uses so that anyone on his team can successfully replace him in the day-to-day of running his STR business.
If you're interested in growing your business, we have a few spots in our next Legends X STR Accelerator class. Don't wait—Apply Now! Plus, our new FREE training: The Step-By-Step Plan for Scaling Your Airbnb Business to $1M and Beyond.
