Newbie to AirBNB

Posted

Hello, My name is Rachelle, newbie investor. Just bought my first rental in Indy last year and wanted to start my airbnb business. So much to learn for sure. But if anyone can recommend a book, a podcast, a youtube on how to start in AirBNB will be so much appreciated. I was thinking of maybe getting into Lake Tahoe since its only 3 hours away and so I can learn the ins and out of the business by managing it myself. But with the zoning regulations, the pricing of houses seem so impossible to achieve. Would love to hear from anyone who have success stories and I am open to suggestions.

Hey Rachelle!

Congrats on the recent investment!

Just my personal opinion - get a mentor or a person who already has good experience running STR business, preferably in your area (but not 100% required).
BP Rookie podcast has a pretty good content on Airbnb, however mostly success stories. This forum is pretty open and people often share their knowledge and best practices, hence don't hesitate to ask any questions you want :) 

Good luck with your business!
