In today’s podcast episode I share a number of updates on the things that I’ve been working on during the last few months. Here’s an overview. * The penthouse in Cali that I purchased last year (first guests booked!) I recently stayed at my Airbnb penthouse in Cali (Colombia) for about four weeks. I absolutely loved it, the guys at FAR International did a great job. See my Instagram account (@getpaidforyourpad or jasper.ribbers) for the most recent pictures! I haven’t listed it on Airbnb yet, as I’m waiting for a pump to be installed to improve the water pressure in the showers. However, I did get my first booking through FAR International’s client base. * My recent trip to Egypt where I looked at potential Airbnb investments Podcast listener Sofia Bak (check out her awesome Airbnb listings near LAX in Los Angeles) notified me of an opportunity near the popular beach resort of Hurghada, Egypt.

In today's podcast episode I chat with Daniel Parker, founder of AirManaged, a short term rental management company based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Daniel had a difficult time finding a good management company to manage his own Airbnb units so he decided to start his own. His company now manages over 100 units. One of the main challenges for Daniel (and any other business owner for that matter) was how to find new clients. His first clients mainly came from his own personal network and by talking to as many people as possible. In addition he used SEO strategies, paid advertising on Google as well as reaching out to property owners who advertised on classified adds websites. After he built a solid client base, most of the new leads came from referrals from his existing customers. Managing over 100 units on multiple platforms can get quite complicated. Daniel uses the following four tools to run his business smoothly and efficiently: *AirGMS: to manage his units on Airbnb, in particular sendin

On his last night in Cali, Colombia, he met a beautiful brown-eyed girl. Fast forward a few years, they settled down in Cali together.Patrick purchased a nice plot of land where he planned to build 18 apartments. The land was situated in an earth-quake zone, which meant he had to take soil samples before starting the construction. Shortly after he began digging, a man came running over claiming the land belonged to his family.Patrick called his lawyers and the police in order to sort out the situation. It turned out that the land indeed used to belong to the man, but now it was in Patrick’s name. However, the person who sold the land to Patrick used a fake ID and took the money. Both Patrick and the land owner got sca

In this news episode I chat with the one and only David Jacoby, president and co-founder of Hostfully. We discuss the topics related to Airbnb that have been in the news recently. Topics include:The cost of Airbnb to New York renters: $616 millionAccording to a new study by city comptroller Scott Stringer, Airbnb caused New York residents to pay an extra $616 million in rent from 2009 to 2016. The study used data from AirDnA to calculate the effect that the short term rental website had on rents. Shortly after the report was published, Scott Shattford, CEO of AirDnA, disputed the conclusion saying that the errors were made interpreting the data. In addition, he couldn't find a payment record of the comptroller's office, suggesting that the data had been obtained illegally. The Best (And Worst) Cities To Make Money On AirbnbUsing data from Airbnb, a website called Homes.com researched the best and worst cities in the US to make money on Airbnb.
