  • Ep 10 - To Co-Host or Not To Co-Host? Pros and Cons of Hiring Help for Your Airbnb
    May 23 2024

    As an Airbnb host, there may come a time when you need an extra set of hands to keep things running smoothly. But who should you turn to for co-hosting assistance - an experienced professional or someone closer to home like friends and family? In this episode, we dive deep into the key differences between these two co-hosting options. First, we'll explore the advantages of working with seasoned Airbnb pros who offer comprehensive management services. From handling every aspect of operations to providing valuable local expertise, these co-hosts allow you to be fully hands-off while ensuring top-notch guest experiences. But experienced co-hosts don't come cheap, which leads us to the other option - enlisting help from friends, family members or acquaintances. We'll weigh the benefits of these trusted relationships, including reduced fees and a vested interest in your success. However, we'll also examine the potential limitations in terms of reliability, capabilities and scalability.By the end of this informative episode, you'll have all the insights you need to decide whether it makes more sense to pay up for an experienced pro or keep things casual with the people closest to you. Tune in for an honest look at co-hosting on Airbnb from both sides of the coin!

  • Ep 9 - Airbnb Co-hosts vs. Property Managers
    Apr 11 2024

Join us as we weigh the pros and cons of each strategy, offering insights and considerations for hosts looking to maximize their rental property's potential.

    Our discussion covers the shared responsibilities and benefits of co-hosting, including local expertise, personalized guest experiences, and cost-effectiveness. We also explore the challenges such as coordination issues and dependency on a partner.

However, we also delve into the drawbacks, such as costly fees, reduced control, and a potentially generic approach to guest relations.
