• Your Safety Guide to Staying at an Airbnb6/8/20230 Comments Traveling is an exciting adventure that often involves staying in various accommodations, including hotels, hostels, and increasingly, Airbnb rentals. Airbnb has revolutionized the travel industry by providing travelers with a broad range of accommodation options, from shared rooms to entire homes in both urban and rural settings worldwide. However, just like any other lodging choice, there are certain safety considerations to be aware of when staying at an Airbnb. In this article, we will discuss essential safety tips for Airbnb guests, which can also help you make your travel experiences more enjoyable and worry-free. Verifying Host's Reputation When choosing your Airbnb, pay close attention to the host's reputation. Reviews from previous guests can give you valuable insights into the host's reliability, responsiveness, and the actual condition of the property. Airbnb also provides a 'Superhost' badge, an award given to hosts who have shown excellent hospitality, which can act as a reassuring sign of a safe stay. Understanding The Neighborhood Researching the neighborhood is crucial for your safety. Look for information about the local crime rate, access to public transportation, nearby hospitals, and other amenities. Websites like City-Data and NeighborhoodScout can provide you with detailed neighborhood profiles, crime rates, and other essential statistics. Inspecting Safety Equipment (or bringing your own!) Once you arrive at your Airbnb, it's important to inspect the safety equipment. Check for the presence and functionality of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and first-aid kits. An Airbnb should have these essentials. If they are missing or not functional, it's a significant safety red flag. For those traveling frequently, consider purchasing a portable carbon monoxide detector and a travel first aid kit. We also are obsessed with this portable security alarm, as well as this portable extra door lock, which make us feel extra safe when traveling. These portable tools can ensure your safety no matter where you're staying. ​ Communication is Key Maintaining good communication with your host can contribute to your safety. Inform your host about your arrival and departure times. Ask any questions you may have about the property or neighborhood. Remember, Airbnb's messaging system records all communication, ensuring transparency and accountability. Secure Your Belongings Consider how secure your belongings will be during your stay. Some Airbnb properties provide safes or lockboxes. If not, a portable travel safe could be a worthwhile investment for protecting your valuables. Know the Emergency Exits Finally, familiarize yourself with the property's emergency exits. In case of an emergency, knowing how to quickly leave the property could be lifesaving. While these are all crucial safety considerations, remember that millions of stays occur on Airbnb each year, and the vast majority of them are safe and enjoyable. Still, it's always better to be proactive in your safety approach. Stay safe and enjoy your travel adventures!

Preparation is paramount to ensure a seamless experience for your guests and a smooth running operation for you. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to prepare your Airbnb for the summer season, along with some links to our favorite summer supplies! ​ 1. Deep Cleaning & Maintenance Thoroughly clean your Airbnb property before your summer guests start arriving. Consider hiring professional cleaning services to ensure a pristine environment. Pay special attention to areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms, as these are the spaces where cleanliness is most essential. Make sure to perform routine maintenance tasks. Check that the air conditioning system is working optimally - a necessary comfort during the hot summer months. Inspect your plumbing, appliances, and furniture for any signs of wear and tear or malfunction. Lastly, verify that your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are in perfect working order. Safety should always be a priority. 2. Refresh Your Décor Bright, airy décor aligns with the summer aesthetic and can make your property more appealing to potential guests. Consider switching to lighter fabrics for your linens and curtains and introducing pops of color with accent pieces like pillows, vases, or wall art. Fresh flowers can also make your space feel more inviting and homely. 3. Stock Up on Summer Essentials Equip your Airbnb property with items that your guests might need during the summer. These can include beach towels, sunblock, beach bags, insect repellent, and a cooler. If your property is located near the beach, consider providing beach chairs, umbrellas, and possibly some water sports gear. If it's in a city, offer a list of local ice-cream parlors, parks, and summer events. Fun pool toys are also a huge win with guests who are staying with you to splash around! 4. Update Your Listing Ensure your Airbnb listing is updated to reflect the summer season. Highlight any summer-related amenities you offer, like a swimming pool, barbecue grill, or proximity to a beach or hiking trails. Great pictures can make your listing stand out, so consider professional photos showcasing the property in the summer. 5. Consider a Welcome Pack A welcome pack can be a delightful surprise for your guests and give them a great first impression of your property. Summer treats like a local bottle of rosé, a map of the local area, guidebooks, coupons for local attractions, or a list of your personal recommendations for things to do can make your guests feel welcomed and appreciated. 6. Set Clear House Rules With summer comes the possibility of more social activities, so it’s important to establish clear house rules. If you have a noise policy or specific rules about pool usage or BBQ, state them clearly. It's best to ensure these are communicated in your listing and in a visible area in your property to avoid any misunderstandings. 7. Check-In & Check-Out Process With higher turnover rates during the summer, your check-in and check-out process needs to be efficient. Consider a keyless entry system to allow guests to self-check-in at any hour. This not only enhances the guest's experience by providing them with flexibility but also eases your operations. 8. Local Partnerships Establish partnerships with local businesses. This not only supports your local community but also enhances the guest experience. Whether it’s a nearby restaurant, a bike rental shop, or a local tour company, these relationships can offer your guests unique experiences, and you might even be able to secure a discount for your guests. Preparing your Airbnb for the summer season involves more than just a deep clean and a decor update. It's about creating an environment where your guests feel comfortable, welcomed, and excited about their vacation. By considering their needs, you'll not only provide an unforgettable experience but also set your Airbnb apart from the competition, leading to positive reviews, repeat bookings, and a successful summer season. Happy hosting!

With so many companies offering their services, it's easy for property owners, developers and investors to be lured by Property Management Companies that promise the world: low fees, robust operations and smaller portfolios. But as I like to tell many of our soon-to-be clients, "anyone can be a brain surgeon for a year". Maybe it's an exaggeration (I sure HOPE it is!) but managing a property for the first year is EASY. In the first year, there are of course things that can go wrong, but the likelihood of a fresh property needing the kind of maintenance and attention of a property that's had a successful 5+ year track record as an STR is extremely low. Additionally, the STR market has, and will continue to shift with every global event: pandemics, weather patterns, election cycles, economic conditions and more, and having a PMC partner who is not only prepared for that, but accustomed to it, is of the utmost importance. STRs are fueling hospitality industry growth. STRs are a growing market and have become an important part of the travel industry, especially since they're not just for business travelers anymore: many people are now using STRs as their primary source of international travel. In fact, STRs have grown so much that they've become a major influence on tourism in many countries around the world; we estimate that about 10% of all tourism happens through STRs, which isn't bad considering how young this industry is! In addition to their impact on the tourism industry, STRs have also begun to affect real estate markets—and this trend is expected to continue into the future. As more investors purchase properties with STR potential in mind (for example), it becomes easier for homeowners and landlords alike to transition from traditional long-term rentals into short-term ones over time. Growing competition across the STR space. In the STR space, competition is rapidly growing. Ten years ago, you wouldn't have been able to rent out your home for more than a few nights per year if you wanted to earn extra cash. Nowadays, it's common for homeowners to rent their homes hundreds of nights per year—in some cases even thousands of nights. The STR industry has grown from zero competition into a booming marketplace in just under two decades; and with more properties being added into this new market every day and more people wanting to get involved than ever before, there are real opportunities available for those who want them. The problem with self-managing. When you look at a home owner and ask, "Can you be a property manager?", the answer is almost always yes. But when you look at the actual work of managing a property, it's clear that this isn't something that all home owners are prepared to do—and there are good reasons for that.Home owners lack training in property management. Most people don't grow up learning how to manage a multi-unit building (or even own one). We're taught how to pay our bills on time, but not how to maintain an entire complex full of units while also keeping up with your own house.Home owners don’t have 24/7 access to their properties or staff members who can help them manage issues when they arise outside normal business hours or weekends. A PMC will still be responsible for maintaining not only security, but also maintaining HOSPITALITY, within their STRs, around the clock. Property owners keen to save money often will attempt to manage their properties to not have to part with 15-40% of their profit, but in exchange for a percentage of their revenue, they dedicate 24/7/365 of their time to being an on call everything for their guests.Choosing a PMC for your STR and why length of service matters. Your STR is already a complex and risky business, so you may be wondering why you should care about the length of service of your PMC. After all, it only affects the price they charge. But there are several reasons why this information can be important to you. First, it’s a measure of how long a PMC has been in the industry and whether they have experience navigating its changing landscape. As we’ve seen above, PMCs have to continually adapt their business models as jurisdictions change laws or new technologies emerge. The longer they’ve been around and able to do this successfully, the better chance they will have continued success moving forward. Additionally, more established firms tend to have bigger teams with more diverse skillsets than newer companies who don’t yet need such breadth because their focus is narrower. This means that if one person drops out for some reason—whether due to illness or family leave—there would be others on hand who could step up instead of leaving everything unfinished until someone returned from vacation. Investing in a PMC with a long track record of success can help you achieve your goals. The truth is, not all PMCs are created equal. Some have more experience in the STR space than others; some may have more expertise in certain types of properties than others; and some might even be committed to the STR space longer than others. These differences can really matter when it comes to your goals and objectives as an investor who wants to maximize returns on investment (ROI). The STR space is rapidly evolving and changing. The best PMC is one who is constantly looking forward and finding ways to redefine and refine the industry, but who has the experience to back up their vision with SOPs, policies and track records. 0 CommentsOur Favorite Cyber Week Deals11/26/20220 Comments With Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals upon us there is no better time to make some impactful upgrades in your short term rental.

Our focus has always been on serving clients who have a vision of owning and operating high-end, luxury level properties around Nashville, The Smoky Mountains, Cape Cod, California, Florida and beyond. While we've been lucky to be their partner to create nearly-passive income streams with and for them, sometimes our clients have proven to be our best teachers. Here are some of the pieces of advice we've either learned, or taught, as an all-inclusive Airbnb/Short Term Rental Property Management Company:It's STILL All About LocationThe traditional real estate motto is, and has been for decades: "Location, location, location!!" And while Short Term Rentals and Airbnbs don't follow all the traditional real estate rules (more on this in another bullet point!), picking the perfect location is the one tried and true advice we dole out on a regular basis. Of course, the location "rules" for an Airbnb or Vacation Rental are different than residential real estate. Residential real estate might look at the best school systems, or huge, rolling green spaces. It might favor an HOA community, and shy away from city streets. But with Airbnbs, the goal is to be IN THE ACTION as much as possible, and as much as is popular for that city. In Nashville, for example, besides the typical Honky Tonks and neon lights tourists flock to bike by on their pedal taverns, there are numerous universities that host thousands of students (and their visiting parents!) every year. There are trade shows and events. There are weddings and concerts. To be nestled in one of Nashville's sweet suburbs just wouldn't make sense for most travelers. Instead, we look for locations that will allow our guests to unwind after a long day in the city, but make it easy for groups to split off if half of our guests want to keep exploring and the other half is ready for some R and R. Our best advice to find the perfect location? Work with an awesome Realtor (who knows the area AND the legislation behind short term rentals, which can be intense and expensive if not paid attention to), and ask around! Ask Property Managers, universities and locals where they love to hang out and where they'd want their family to stay if they were visiting! Amenities that go Beyond Home OwnershipWhen you go to buy a home, some things might be a definite perk: A giant walk-in closet, for instance, or a HUGE, fenced backyard. Maybe an HOA that oversees lush green space or a community pool. In Airbnbs or Short Term Rentals, amenities need to be different, and sometimes, things we'd really value in a forever-home, we'd steer our clients away from in an Airbnb. For example: While we have a handful of rentals with amazing master closets, the majority of the time, our guests would have preferred to have functional space- more room to sleep, perhaps a lit vanity to get ready, or extra space in the master to add a pack and play more easily. A giant backyard is similar, in that, most of the time, our guests would prefer a rooftop deck over a fenced in yard that we'd have to ensure was pristinely (and expensively) maintained. When our clients ask us what will "sell" an Airbnb to guests, here are the amenities we help them search for:LOTS of space to sleep. This isn't to invite a party house by any means, but rather is meant to accommodate the frequent trend of multiple families traveling together or intergenerational travel. By ensuring groups will have room to spread out, it gives our Airbnbs and Short Term rentals a distinct advantage over a hotel, where everyone has to share a room (or a bed!) and rarely has any privacy. Lovely, but manageable, outdoor space (preferably with a view). Guests want a place to get a breath of fresh air, to grill out with friends and to sip on coffee or cocktails. However, it's important for our owners that this space is low maintenance to ensure we can keep the outside as perfectly luxurious as we do the inside. Open spaces that invite gathering. While there are certainly beautiful properties that are treasure troves of hidden spaces and cute corners, when guests are traveling together, wide open spaces sell! Finding a place that has a kitchen that can centrally interact with the living areas is key and will make the group feel connected, enjoying their stay that much more!Make a Management PlanNo, we're not (just) trying to sell our services. But, we do work hard with property owners and investors to dispel the myth that owning investment properties is 100% passive. Of course, it can be passive, but only if you have a management partner. More on that below. But first, consider:How much time can I commit to managing my rental myself each day? (Yes, it requires DAILY attention)What's my plan if there's an emergency or something goes wrong in the middle of the night? On the weekend? When I'm out of town? (Assuming you live in the same town as your rental to begin with.)While we are HUGE believers in DIY owners and can work with them to get them started in being successful Airbnb/Short Term Rental Investors, the roles and goals of management goes way beyond "booking guests for a fee". Some of the often-forgotten things we provide our owners include (but are DEFINITELY not limited to):Ensuring air filters are changed on a regular basisTesting smoke detectors and changing batteries on those, TV remotes, electronic locks and any other battery-operated appliancesRegularly auditing the property and replacing/repairing things as necessaryVetting all future and incoming guests to ensure we understand their purpose for travel, and reduce (if not eliminate) the possibility of a raging partyContract, communicate with, manage and pay all vendors that service our properties like lawn professionals, HVAC/heating/cooling/plumbing companies, painters, trash disposal/removal and so many othersTrade discounts to replace things like furniture, sheets, plates, glasses or other household goodsAfter-hours escalation and contact on ANY and everything- from guest lockouts to leaking water heaters, we get the middle of the night call, and our owners rest easyScheduling all cleanings, turnovers, guest request fulfillment, concierge services and anything related to being onsite at a propertyMUCH MUCH moreMost investors we've met are either juggling multiple properties, or multiple streams of income through employment or entrepreneurship and they are pros at leveraging the help, skills, resources and man power of others. Of course most of them could manage their own properties, but they know that our services are worth the cost for it to be off their plate so they can focus on building their empires, rather than worrying about dead batteries. 2 CommentsGet To Know Nashville, With Us.8/31/20203 Comments Whether you just purchased your dream home in music city or decided to work here remotely for a change of scenery, you want to feel the comfort of home.
