if Airbnb wanted to increase their profits they could allow people like me to list exclusively with them and I would take my listing off vrbo since I hardly get any listings on vrbo. I would just be an Airbnb exclusive and if we got a small discount as a host to list primarily or exclusively with Airbnb, it would mean that I wouldn't take direct bookings and I wouldn't block off days. 

it's a win-win. it creates an exclusive agreement between myself and Airbnb 

I'm sure that Airbnb is not going to give us a cut of anything to do with the new offerings of being able to book experiences. I don't make anything from the experiences that I offer my guest now. actually the only thing I get is just kick back from the community saying that I'm running businesses at my house even though I haven't even gotten a free massage or a discounted one.

as an Airbnb host with many properties, I can say that the fees get pretty cumbersome and I think it would be a huge incentive of Airbnb. gave me a small discount for listing exclusively with them.

I look forward to this. I will be there. 

Usually an investor who is loyal is loyal because of the value you create not because of a piece of paper they sign. Create value to the investor so they come back to you first and more often. Keep touching them with info more than the other agents they use and maybe offer a discount if they eventually want to work exclusive with you. An investor is wise to work with more than one agent especially if they are buying off market deals and already know what they are doing. 

One repair or one month vacant and you wont be an investor you will be a worker paying for your investment. 

Be patient and wait for something that will really cash flow and pay for repairs and upgrades. Or search off market or start working with wholesalers who can bring you better deals. 

Its something I already offered my guest, I work with photographers, massage, chefs and yoga teachers and people ALWAYS took advantage of it. So i suspect it will work well for Airbnb. If there was one thing I wish Airbnb would do it would be... they need to promote listings that are AIRBNB exclusives and discount fees for the owner and renter for homes that are exclusive to airbnb. 

Hi Brett, my cell is 5o88o1953o. I also sent you a friend request. I am happy to connect anytime. 

I have a nice portfolio of my own properties and have a bunch of Airbnb and multi family homes. I have been a real estate broker for 16 years and have experience from apartment rentals to commercial leasing and sales. 

I am new to Boca Raton and starting a brokerage here. I still have a brokerage with agents in Boston MA. I will also start to advertise for business brokering as I already have 2 listings for sale.  

Right now since I am just getting going I would be a huge asset to a buyer who wants something specific. I will go out and hunt down exactly what you want off market. Many of the homes I purchased myself were specific target homes that I scooped up off market. 

If you play tennis or golf even better. Lets network over a game! 

I will be at the next one for sure. I just moved to Boca from Boston and looking to network with other investors.
