AirBnB with OPP -Robyn Thompson/Brian's course

[Fahima Hilal]

Does anyone have any opinion or review about the course by Brian (tie-up with Robyn Thompson-The Queen of Rehab ) 

I just finished a webinar on it -He proposes renting properties from owners and turning them and putting them for short-term rentals on AirBnB. Any and all feedback welcome ...

Airbnb seems to be the biggest thing now here in Memphis, but only certain areas (i.e. Midtown Memphis where hotels are scarce).  I have also listened to Robyn Thompson's introduction of Brian.  He made it sound very easy but right before the end of the webinar it was apparent to me that it does require a lot of effort from a superb management company or someone extremely reliable who is local (you?) to fulfill the Airbnb guests' needs right away in order to receive top ratings.  The property needs to be fully fixed up and often you might have to invest the cost of new furniture.  In the beginning of the webinar Brian states that it doesn't take any money out of pocket but at the end of the webinar he mentions that you only have to put up a "little bit of money" upfront for staging.  In my experience in real estate (I have tried many programs and lost a lot of money by trusting 3rd parties), all of them make everything sound so easy and purposely leave out difficult parts so that later on they can get you into their "mentoring programs" where you are still not moving forward because they take up most of your time doing "silly homework" with webinars, calls, etc.  instead of focusing on finding properties.  The best deals always come from doing it yourself with FREE advice from successful and trustworthy investors.  I believe that if you check out Airbnb's program, and speak to other Airbnb users, you might get more valuable information for free instead of paying someone else for it.  Would still love to hear about your successes or not with Airbnb, specifically Brian's program. Thank you.
