July is coming in hot! Literally. 🥵 I’m feeling a shift. A good one. If you’ve been searching for the right home for a while and you haven’t secured it yet, keep going. Don’t let discouragement stay too long. If your home has been on the market for a while, the buyers are coming. Trust your realtor and make the necessary adjustments. “It’s better to go slow than to stand still.”

This is not fake news. I posted on my stories that I’ve been learning so I can effectively and efficiently serve my clients best interest. I attended a training with Fannie Mae last week and they informed us this was in the works. I will link the article in my stories but here’s what you need to know. * All lenders will not be able to or want to do this. * “You have not because you ask not” - When you’re working with a lender to get pre-approved , ask if they will use your crypto currency. You don’t know unless you ask. * If one lender says no, don’t stop there. It is ok to speak with multiple lenders when you are trying to obtain a mortgage loan. Work with a real estate professional that arms themselves with knowledge to support you in whatever your goals are. Let me know how I can help you achieve those goals.

I’m super late but I wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone that has contributed anything to Cadence’s dance seasons past or present. The February fundraiser was our most successful so thank you, thank you, thank you! . I thought I should share why we fundraise and where the money goes. Every little bit helps because there are lots of little things that go into competitions that aren’t mentioned in this video. God bless you all. #danceislife #dancemoms #mddancers #five678studioofdance #blackowneddancestore #dmvdancestudio #blackowneddancestudio #dancefundraiser

Perspective is so important. When @the_glamsuite straightened my hair, all I saw was the gray hair and how much more prominent it is compared to the last time I had it straightened. She said “it looks like highlights.” Now I can’t unsee it and I love it! I can’t unsee my mother in her early 30’s. I can’t unsee my people when I look in the mirror. ❤️🤎 Thanks Victoria. You always poor into me whenever I’m with you! #dmvnaturalhaircarespecialist #dmvhealthyhair #healthyhair #naturalhaircareproducts #blackowned #blackownedhaircareproducts #blackownedhaircarebrands

Cadence is competitive! She’s not crazy about math but if you make it a game, she’s all over it. Here she’s playing with someone in another country and loving it! I was too lol. @splashlearn is a learning app that focuses on Math and ELA (English/Language Arts) which includes reading but they also have logic and a little art too. They have fun games and other materials to give kids a little reinforcement in areas they may need it. You pick the grade level and let them explore. They offer a free trial to try it but there is a subscription fee after the trial ends. They also have live classes, worksheets, and reports to track progress. This would be a great gift for the learners in your life!

Cadence recorded this thank you video last night. You now have ONE hour left to help her reach her goal by getting $81 more dollars in sales through @doadoublegood fundraiser! Let’s go!! Thank you again for all your support! 💚💚

Cadence has started a new dance season with a new attitude! Head over to my stories or click the link in my bio to get your @doadoublegood popcorn in support of Cadence this competition season. If you’ve already purchased your popcorn, THANK YOU SO MUCH! If you’re not a fan of popcorn, there will be other opportunities to support Cadence this season. Although this is Cadence’s third competition season, this is her first season with a new studio. Change can be hard but she is handling it well. Your support would mean the world to Cadence. 💚 Catch you on the dance floor! 💚💚💚 #Dance #dancemoms #dmvdancemoms #mddancers #dmvdancers #blackdancemoms #ilovedance

Isaac Jaynes 20 years?!?! Really! 🫣🤭❤️‍🔥 Still wake up sometimes and can’t believe it.

Happy Anniversary to my ol’ man and I. It’s been a long year of the four of us but mama and daddy were solo tonight and it felt GOOD! Thank you lord for love and life.

Thank you all for your support during this fundraiser. There’s still one more day to purchase your @doadoublegood popcorn. Click the link in my bio to go to Cadence’s pop up store. 😃 If you don’t like popcorn and you want to support Cadence during this year’s competition season, you can send a donation to this Cashapp- $FriendsofADX. Please type Cadence Johnson in the memo line so it will be applied directly to Cadence’s account. Your support and love is appreciated! 🩷💖

The 2024 competition dance season is here and we are starting off strong with a @doadoublegood popcorn fundraiser. You’ll have from today January 13 to January 17 at 9am to purchase delicious, premium popcorn that can be delivered right to you. 50% of sales will go to my little dancer, Cadence. She loves dance, and these sales will help pay for competition fees and costumes. Here are some of last season’s highlights. It was busy, fun and she learned so much her first year competing. Her group won and then competed in a battle round where they took the win for the battle as well and became national champions. We are hoping for another big win for the girls this season!

Thank you for all your support last year and this year. 😘 #doadoublegood #dance #competitiondance #dancemoms #blackdancemoms #dmvdance #danceislife #dancedancedance

Is Airbnb over? Can you still make money hosting? I share my thoughts in this video. There’s a lot more that could’ve been said but I have mom brain and couldn’t get it all out 🤣🥴. Comment below what you think about short term rentals in the US. #shorttermrental #airbnb #vrbo #midtermrental #realestate #shorttermrentalhost #vacationrentals #dmvairbnb #realestateinvesting #rentalarbitrage

The four month sleep regression has me up reflecting. Here’s the closing clip from the birth of Zuri. @thedcbirthphotographer captured everything beautifully. She is truly an artist and is meant to do this work. I haven’t shared much about my experience seeing a midwife. It was life changing to say the least. @sage_midwifery made me feel safe, valued, loved and nurtured from start to finish. Sam is so much more than a nurse midwife, so much more than a healthcare professional. Her students are learning from an amazing woman. Having Shay with @cmbsdoulas by my side was like having one of my cousins or friends there. I was so comfortable with her and she is so intuitive. She stuck it out with me for days lol. @enrichedbirth helped us prepare for a non medicated birth. I believe in educating myself and I knew I needed to learn more about birth to achieve the outcome I wanted. Linsay is so knowledgeable and so kind. It was fun taking her class with Ike so he could somewhat understand what I would be going through. The most surprising part of my care was finding out they (my doula and midwife) would still see me past the six weeks after birth. I enjoyed that time in my home! It was like therapy for me. I am so blessed to have had the support from this amazing group of women. #midwifery #naturalbirth #dmvbirthworkers #dmvbirthphotographer #dmvdoula #dmvmidwives #dmvpostpartumcare #dmvprenatal

Cady did great at her recital yesterday. Zuri just wanted milk.

PG County said they not playing with y’all. #landlords and #renters what y’all think about the rent stabilization? Let me know if you’re here for it or not. #dmvrealestateinvesting #landlordlife #mdrealestate #varealestate #dcrealestateinvesting #longtermrentals #shorttermrentals #rentstabilization

Ok so you won’t die but you do run a huge risk of being evicted, and having that eviction on your credit if the place is in your name. I have two new host that I assisted who are facing eviction right now 🤦🏽‍♀️. I can’t stress enough the importance of doing things the right way. I can’t control what you choose to do but I am going to tell you the risk and why I wouldn’t do it. What you choose to do next is none of my business. #happyhosting #shorttermrentalmanagement #shorttermrentals #airbnb #rentalarbitrage #sublease #dmvairbnb

Got my wax with my girl Nikki at @hollywoodwaxingstudio I always leave soft and stumble free. Convos are the best too! Counting down to birth. We made it to Aries season 🐏♈️🤭🤎

Won’t be my only for much longer. Cady girl is a lot (in a good way) 😂 but only because our energy and personalities are sooo different. I’m so happy to be able to give birth again and experience a new life coming into the world with the love of my life, but thinking about the days of her being an only child and all the things we experienced together has been so bittersweet. I feel guilty sometimes for waiting so long to have another but I hope they both appreciate the gap, love each other unconditionally and show that love, not just say it. I hope I can be an even better mom because I do believe it is true, each child gets a different version of the parent because we go through different stages of life and sometimes the child grows with those stages. Nonetheless, we as ready as we gone be and we are so excited to see what the future holds for our family. 💙💖 #2ndtimemomtobe #nomoreonlychild #surprisegender #overthemoon #godisgoodalltime #gratefulthankfulblessed

These took me back to Paris 🥰😋 I’ve loved macarons ever since visiting Paris. A lot of people on social media complain about the food in Paris but the desserts and baked goods were top tier for me. I rolled out of the restaurants everyday 😂 it’s been hard to find some that were really good and soft. @oliviamacaron is the closest you will get to that taste, softness, and flavor of France. I’m literally in love with these. 🥰 @feastwitfab said they were for me and Cadence….I passed my gestational diabetes test so I can’t make any promises on that. 🤪 Have a Happy Valentines Day y’all 🥰😍😘 #oliviamacaron #macorons #dcdesserts #happyvalentinesday #makelovenotwar❤️ #sweettreat

I love handwritten notes but when a guest takes time to write one, it feels like a hug ❤️ What’s the best thing a guest has left you? Cash and handmade soaps have been my favorite so far. #shorttermrentalhacks #househacking #realestateinvestment #airbnbambassador #airbnbhost #shorttermrentalmanagement #midtermrental #dmvrealestate

@heynewfriends Founder @iamcartersade posted this on FB. It is so true and we really need to talk about this not just showing wins. Please make sure you are making financial decisions based on facts not possibilities. Facts meaning, if no one books and it all falls on my income as it is now, can I make these payments every month? Can I cover the utilities/maintenance every month? If you can’t, re-strategize and find an affordable price for you. Now, some maybe saying, isn’t some money better than no money? Not for everyone. Let me explain. I did choose to lower my price on my #Airbnb . My circumstances are different. I #househack so I’m not leaving my house to make sure the unit is turned over for the next guest. The cleaner I had was offering a low price so it didn’t cut into my profits in a way that didn’t allow me to still reach my monthly target. You still have to take into account the time and effort you may be putting in for that new lower price you’re offering. For some people it just isn’t worth it, which is fine. Know yourself and what you are willing to do. Also, when you have multiple streams of income, you just don’t worry about money. You know how to make more and that God gone provide regardless. I don’t have the gift of gab so I don’t have a pretty way of saying those last two sentences 🤷🏽‍♀️😊 it is what it is. #happyhosting on whatever platform you use! Good day y’all! #shorttermrentals #shorttermrentalmanagement #househackingstrategy #turo #vrbo #realestateinvesting #airbnbambassador

Come with me to see my midwife! I love going to my appointments. We’re not rushed, it’s a judgement free zone and I learn something new every time I go! Since leaving Greenville I’ve had a hard time finding the type of care I felt GOOD about. Sage Midwifery has helped bring that feeling back. I realize being able to have this type of prenatal care is a blessing. Just wanted to share some of the reasons I’ve been enjoying it so much. If you’re looking for a midwife in the DMV, check out Sam at Sage Midwifery. If you’re looking for a community of moms they host Village Fridays and other events so be sure to visit the website! #pregnancy #prenatalcare #midwiferycare #vamidwife #mdmidwife #dcmidwife #dmvmidwife #dmvnurses

Diversify your listing strategy and pivot if you aren’t seeing the income you desire. My #Airbnb bookings were low for December. January, not so much, thankfully but with life changes happening I am definitely re-strategizing. I posted in this group once. I still get contacted to see if it is available by nurses. People are going to sell their properties because things are slow but if you can think of all possibilities first, you may have a new niche. I spoke with a gentleman that really wanted to host on Airbnb but he is in a very small rural area. I suggested travel nurses because I asked him if there are hospitals or nursing homes nearby. He said there are a lot. The next day he listed on Furnished finder, and a week later he had two houses booked for travel CNAs 🤯I didn’t even know travel CNAs existed. Expand your knowledge, expand who you speak to on a daily basis, and if you need some help, visit my website and reach out to me. #happyhosting #airbnb #realestate #airbnbambassador #househacking #househackingstrategy #hospitality

#hostcommunity #airbnbhost this is why I don’t ask guest to wash the dishes. Several of the dishes that were put back in the drawer and cabinet weren’t properly cleaned. This can happen in a dishwasher too depending on how long dishes were in there before it was actually ran. Something to think about. Visit hostwithlauren.com for more short term rental tips. #shorttermrental #airbnbarbitrage #vrbo #rentalarbitrage #airbnbsuperhost🏆 #dmvrealestateinvesting

Peerspace is another platform where you can list your space. Y’all my place is not decked out. It’s nice, it’s clean, and tastefully decorated but it doesn’t look like a Pinterest board. It still gets inquiries and bookings. I’ve had photographers and film makers book. I’ve had people reach out for bridal showers and baby showers too but the parking is not designed for that many people. You can set parameters like no nudity, no alcohol, and more. Safety is still a priority! I hear people say all the time “ I wanna Airbnb”. Airbnb isn’t a strategy. It’s a platform to advertise your space. If you have a space and you want to continue using it sometimes, consider #shorttermrentals . Diversify and list the space on more than just Airbnb. Someone is checking out Sunday so this will be ready for him Sunday Afternoon 😉 happy hosting! #peerspace #airbnb #shorttermrentalstrategy #dmvrealestate #dmvrealestateinvesting #hospitality #happyhosting #vrbo #househacking

@airbnb has made it a little easier for people to secure a space to host. Say what you want about #Airbnb but working with the platform as a consumer, host, and ambassador has given me different perspectives. They know that MANY people want to do #rentalarbitrage vs. hosting a space they own or people just aren’t in a financial place to purchase right now. They previously had information on their site about how you can talk to a landlord about allowing rental arbitrage but they took it a step further with what you see in this reel! I have thoughts on who I think this would be good for but I’ll reserve them for a #YouTubevideo . With anything please make sure you read the details in its entirety and for your own understanding. Don’t take advice from people in the comments who have never hosted 😂. Read the fine print before signing a lease at one of these communities. Negotiate terms with the leasing office/landlord and be blessed in 2023!

Happy New Year! 🥳🎉 cheers to 2023!

I know it looks gross…it was just a nose bleed. Waterproof mattress protectors or mattress pads are cool but I’m a fan of mattress encasements to protect both. It protects the whole mattress against bed bugs, dust, dirt, and bodily fluids. This is important for the longevity of your mattresses in your short term rental. You have a lot of people coming and going. Those mattress pads can only be washed so many times before they need to be replaced. #shorttermrental #airbnb #airbnbambassador #househackingstrategy #househacking #realestateinvesting #dmvrealestateinvesting #airbnbtips

Yes it’s the season to give but I’m able to give a gift to a new host once a month. I choose one person and the appreciation doesn’t go unnoticed. New host love it and I’m happy to share with them. Will you be the next person I send a gift to? Use the link in my bio to work with me and you just might be. ❤️ #airbnbambassador #airbnb #shorttermrentals #airbnbhost #realestate #dmvrental #mdairbnb #vaairbnb #dcairbnb #airbnblove #househackingstrategy #realestateinvesting

I’m all for people starting something new and using what they have to earn more income. Please educate yourself and have a plan in mind first. I’m connected with new host a few ways but this one was sent through by Airbnb. I reached out to assist and he was vague, figured it was simple enough. He has his first booking coming up and has a lot of questions. He got another booking for a month but wants more detail about the person booking because he’s house hacking. This is something we could have strategized and worked through before he published the listing. I can help you figure out the best options FOR YOU. I like Airbnb, don’t get me wrong, it’s been a blessing to our family. However, if it is not a good fit for your strategy, I AM GOING TO TELL YOU THAT! Airbnb is not the only option for you to list your place and get booked. Have a plan, and then a pivot plan because you never know what the market or economy will do! Want to plan with me? Connect with me using the link in my bio. I’d love to help you host on Airbnb or figure out what will work best for you. Happy Hosting

@Airbnb asked #superhostambassador s to shoot a short introductory video to welcome new host that were connected with us to the platform. I was in my first trimester and struggling with no energy. I got myself together and it gave me the energy I needed. It’s live so I can share it now! 😁 I get so much energy and joy after working with new host. It truly is something I enjoy doing and I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with new host all over the world.

I don’t like getting into debates so take your unnecessary checkout procedures to one of the many FB groups currently arguing about this. If you have a short term rental you should want it to be cleaned from top to bottom for the next guest experience. I know it can be a lot but so can the effects of negative reviews.

Yes, I’m dropping more #lowcountryweddingvendors that supported us on our wedding day. @slushysista was our bartender. One word, AMAZING!

I get so much joy helping people. Being an @airbnb ambassador allows me to help even more people. This new host featured in my reel had reservations and concerns. We talked through them, and she took action! The most interesting part is this isn’t her property! She presented an opportunity to her boyfriend’s family! Now they are going to allow her to grow this thing and I couldn’t be happier for her and the financial future they are setting up for themselves.

This was a serious a question I received. Don’t ever fall for this. Aside from the fact that you don’t know them, or, if their mama had them up on Saturdays cleaning baseboards and blinds while listening to Anita Baker, (shoutout to @pamela2949 ) airbnb has a five step cleaning protocol that includes cleaning and then sanitizing. Sanitizing and cleaning are not the same thing. Stick to your set rules, and fees. Be firm in what you have made a standard for your unit(s) and you’ll be successful. Have you ever asked a host this? Don’t lie now, I won’t roast you 😂

Congratulations to all the #superhost I achieved #superhost status for the fourth time in a row! It feels good to know I’ve continued to give guest a great experience right from my own home.

Happiest of Sundays to you all. ❤️

#airbnb #superhost assessments are around the corner. If you’re a new #airbnbhost you still have time to meet the criteria. Here’s what you’ll need to do. Keep your response rate up. Respond to questions and inquiries quickly. 10 completed stays or 100 nights over 3+ stays. DON’T CANCEL.That’s it’s that’s all!😂. If something is wrong like a serious maintenance issue let Airbnb know instead of just cancelling. They will guide you on the best route to take. And lastly ask for those 5 star ratings! Your ratings should be above 4.8. #Happyhosting y’all! #shorttermrental #shorttermrentals #superhoststatus #househackingstrategy #househacking101 #househackingrealestate #realestateinvesting

Things are going to come up at some point but you hate for it to happen when a guest is in the unit 🤦🏽‍♀️. Here are some tips: React quickly. Assess the issue promptly. If you’re not available to assess the issue, have someone else that you trust assess it quickly. Apologize to your guest! Let them know you’re sorry for the inconvenience the issue has caused and reassure them that you are giving it your prompt attention. Find a solution. Solve the problem as soon as you can, or hire someone else. In this case, I did offer a refund for that night’s stay since the plumber advised he couldn’t come out until the next day due to the snow. He also advised not to use anymore water in the house. Problem solved, guest were happy! 😃 Earn some extra money by using the referral links in my bio! #shithappens💩 #airbnbambassador #shorttermrentalhacks #househackingstrategy #househacker #airbnbsuperhost🏆

My god daughter just sent me this beautiful picture with my father in it. It made my whole day and made me boo hoo cry all at the same time. I miss my daddy so much but I appreciate who he was in my life even more. I’m strong because of him, I’m resilient because of him, I don’t give up because of him, I don’t take crap because of him, I love hard because of him, and I’m going to get everything I need and want because he told me I could! Be there for your kids. They will remember even if they’re wilding out right now. Memories don’t die and those pictures help too. Thank you Kaydren❤️ #loveyours #dadsmatter #bethereforyourkids #stillgrieving

If you are going to get into the #shorttermrentsl space, put in the effort. Tastefully decorate, take good pictures with a good camera or phone, and don’t have clutter in your pics y’all! 🤦🏽‍♀️ The goal is to draw people in, not scare them off.

That’s my #househackstrategy but there are other ways you can house hack. Let me know below some ways you house hack or what ways you’d consider #househacking below.

I saw a post that said you’ll need about $10k for furniture for your short term rental. You don’t need that to start. I found these two pieces on FB Marketplace. Work with your own budget. Not the suggested budget. Go big later. #shorttermrentalhacks #househackingstrategy #airbnbsuperhost🏆 #shorttermvacationrental

DON’T TRIP—The other day I posted on my story that a guest mistakenly booked for 1 night instead of 2 and then proceeded to challenge the price. She ended up canceling the booking. But when your unit has great reviews, and the location is pretty good you’re good. Do not stress or allow people to haggle you about your prices. Guest are like buses..miss one next 15 one coming.

I get asked about hosting on Airbnb without owning property EVERY DAY! Do your research on rental arbitrage. While you’re driving around, keep your eye out for signs like this one. Pull over so you don’t hurt yourself, get out, whatever you need to do while being safe 😄 so you can hit the contact information down. Private landlords may be more open to allowing you to use the property as a #shorttermeental than most apartment complexes or HOA communities. This is basically driving for dollars. Get started and let me know if you bag a unit 😉 and use my referral link when you do! Swipe left.

ROSS, TJ Maxx, and the other stores under that umbrella are some of my favorite stores to shop at for my #shorttermrental. I don’t know about your ROSS but the store near my house is FULL of stuff right now! They’ve stepped up their home decor section. It’s been real skimpy the past few months. Although my space is fully furnished, I’m always looking for a deal or something that catches my eye. Who knows…maybe I’ll pick up another #airbnb in 2022 😉☺️ Tap in for more information. #airbnbsuperhost #airbnbambassador #superhost

When I started hosting on #airbnb I joined some Facebook groups to gain more knowledge. I was stunned to learn people were having issues with bed bugs! I was paranoid and I didn’t wait to purchase mattress encasements as some other host advised. Along with cleaning and sanitizing your space THOROUGHLY after each guest checks out, I think these are essential items for a #shorttermrental . As usual this is my opinion, but, I will say I had someone leave blood on my sheets 😞. Guess what was left untouched??? The mattress and the encasement. Your girl has her bed double strapped. In addition to the encasement I also have a waterproof mattress cover. Nothing will touch this mattress and it is comfortable to have both on there at the same time. 😁 Click the link if you’re ready to list your space.

Lauren here! For those that don’t know me, I’m a working woman, mother, landlord, and Airbnb Superhost Ambassador. I purchased a home last year with the intention of using the separate space as a short term rental to cover the cost of the mortgage so I wouldn’t have to keep paying for housing. Inflation is real and I like using my money to invest to make more money and #househacking was a sensible way for me to do that. My goal is to use money to have more time freedom. I like helping people in anyway that I can so I thought it would be useful to share my experiences, and ideas as I house hack and host on #airbnb. Let me know if you have any questions. There’s a link in the bio with referral links for the platform I use to manage my long term rental properties, and Airbnb where you can host your space as well. Use them to make more money and I’ll make some money too! Ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none 🤷🏽‍♀️😂 enjoy the weekend and don’t work too hard y’all. ✌🏾

Hosted a great guest and she left this message. I’m so grateful to have good guest that respect our space and appreciate our hospitality. I feel like December is going to be a great month! #shorttermrental #Airbnb #Househacking

I have been communicating with 15 new host since becoming a Superhost Ambassador. About 80% of them have said they are scared or nervous to publish their listing. I was nervous too. Voices in my head sounded off loudly with every negative thought that could “potentially” happen. My advice to each of them; “Do it scared”. Have a great day. #airbnb #shorttermrental #airbnbambassador Click the link in my bio. Use my free resources to earn extra income or to get my assistance hosting on Airbnb!

I am loving the #shorttermrental space. In addition to becoming an #airbnbambassador , I’ve recently become a Superhost Ambassador. My mission is to help new host become Superhost! Being a consecutive Superhost comes with perks so I encourage you to take it seriously and do all that you can to achieve and maintain your Superhost status. If you need help, reach out to an experienced Superhost like myself. There’s no need wasting time trying to figure something out when there are people that have already done it. Let me help you become a Superhost! #happyhosting

I had a busy day at work and wanted to wait until I got off to clean the unit. Someone requested to book at 5:00pm and I didn’t see it until I closed my laptop at 5:30. I had to hustle to get it prepared for the next guest. Don’t do this to yourselves 😂 Hire reliable cleaners, a cleaning company that specializes in short term rental turnovers or do it as soon as you can. I take pride in properly cleaning the unit and it’s been hard to let that go. I’m still working on hiring a cleaner 😩 let me know if you know someone good in the DMV area. •Click the link in my bio to watch my YouTube video •Use my referral links to earn yourself money • Get FREE assistance from me to help you become a Superhost.

I’ve learned a lot from reading through the years. I use the #libbyapp to read or listen to books for free. All you need is a library card which is also free. I recently found out that a neighboring county will allow me to get a library card there as well. This library has online courses for free 🤯. Road trip on this holiday!

I’m going to enjoy this day off!

Create a guidebook for guest so they can visit some of the places you love to go to in the area. It’s best to use your own photos like this picture I took while Cady baby was playing on Neptune @nationalharbor #airbnb #airbnbsuperhost #shorttermrental #dmvshorttermrental #airbnbambassador #realestateinvesting #vacationrental #househacking #househack #househackingstrategy

Light dimmers in the unit helps set a vibe for guests. It’s a feature that was already installed when I purchased the home. I liked it so much I had it done in my condo when I renovated it. #airbnb #airbnbsuperhost #shorttermrental #dmvshorttermrental #airbnbambassador #realestateinvesting #vacationrental #househacking #househack #househackingstrategy

I’m sharing just a few things that Are great to include in your Short term rental. ~Ironing board and iron so guest leave wrinkle free 😊 ~Books! I needed somewhere to put the books I’ve read. All guest are not here to site see. Some want to chill, relax or read before bed time. ~A place where they can work. I’ve had many guest work from the unit while they’re in town. Having a small space to do so can add value. ~Details about the area they’re visiting. An area magazine, brochure of a tour in the area, or a flyer of events all could be useful for guest looking to venture out while visiting. I’ll continue sharing what else I include in my short term rental but for now, what are some things you would want your host to include? #airbnb #airbnbsuperhost #shorttermrental #dmvshorttermrental #airbnbambassador #realestateinvesting #vacationrental #househacking #househack #househackingstrategy

I didn’t see this coming. I didn’t even think this was possible. I’ve been hosting on Airbnb since May so I figured something like this was out of reach.

Another happy guest. He told me they were parents of FIVE kids and they really needed to have this time. I’m grateful they chose our place and they were satisfied with the space. #airbnb #airbnbsuperhost #shorttermrental #DMVsuperhost #Nationalharborsuperhost #Marylandsuperhost #househacking #househack #househackingstrategy #househackers

This was my goal when I started hosting. Seeing this really made my day even better. I plan to do the work so I keep this status. I can hear my daddy now! He would have been so proud of me for pushing past the fear of uncertainty and going after what I wanted. #airbnb #airbnbsuperhost #shorttermrental #DMVsuperhost #Nationalharborsuperhost #Marylandsuperhost
