The conversation was about the amenities and features that make an Airbnb stand out and successful. For example, having a list of vendors to work with such as a car service, food delivery service, or private chef can help the listing stand out. Additionally, providing beach chairs, umbrellas, and other items that guests may need while on vacation can help as well. In terms of the Airbnb market in South Florida, it is currently business as usual with some improvement over the last quarter. People are still investing in properties here due to the attractions and events that bring people in. The most successful Airbnbs are the ones with the best amenities and the most sleeping capacity. These include properties on the water, with a pool, and close to attractions such as the beach, airport, and Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

The conversation is about what it takes to successfully start an Airbnb in South Florida. It discusses the importance of doing research prior to purchasing a home for this venture, and the fact that it is like starting any other business and typically not profitable for the first two to three years. The conversation then goes on to discuss the typical cash flow one might expect monthly from an Airbnb in a good location in South Florida, noting that the amount of profit varies depending on the location and other factors such as the number of bedrooms and amenities offered. It also notes that expenses such as toiletries, taxes, insurance, and a property management company must be taken into account when calculating the bottom line. Lastly, the conversation emphasizes the importance of having a strategy and understanding the end goal when starting an Airbnb.

A recent client of mine had an opportunity to move abroad and needed some advice on how to manage their house while they were gone. We discussed the pros and cons of three different scenarios - hiring a property manager, doing an annual rental, or doing an Airbnb. I explained that each of these scenarios come with different levels of wear and tear, and that if the client doesn't want anyone living in the house, they will still have to pay the mortgage but won't have to worry about upkeep. The other option was to completely sell the house, but it is better to own real estate and have equity building on it. Ultimately, the client will have to decide which of these scenarios makes the most sense for them.
