Sometimes it’s super scary to start something new, and I’m not even talking about beginning a new venture in a time of major doubt and uncertainty – Hey Corona! Here’s looking at you. But the deal is, there will always be something. If it’s not a pandemic, it’s family. If it’s not family, it’s work. And if it’s not work, it’s something else (you get the point right), the list need not go on.

We will never truly feel ready. Periodt. 

That is why I am here to tell you that NOW is still the best time to turn that real property into real money using Airbnb. 

Here’s a little sauce behind why Airbnbs are still money makers – even in the age of corona. 

The fact is, people still need, want, yearn to travel AND they need places to stay. And here’s where Airbnbs become the perfect option for travel conscious guests.  

• They are typically smaller (read, easier to maintain a higher level of cleanliness) than  traditional hotel settings 
• Offer more private accommodations – less people/ lessen the spread 
• Affordable with WAY more amenities – guests are traveling for longer stays with WFH and now for many school from home and they are looking to mimic the same comforts (hooray for home cooked meals and separate bedrooms for kids) that they have at home 
• People are more frequently traveling with pets and an Airbnb with a yard or outdoor space is top of their list (Fido comes along for family fun).
• Guests now travel with their extended family for work trips – family of 5 in a hotel room…yikes!  
• Folks are looking for comfort, beauty, and peace amid all the current year’s chaos – it’s been a real one.. am I right?!! And a thoughtfully designed, stocked, and hosted Airbnb is just that. A safe haven and respite in the midst of a world of drama. 

Airbnbs can offer so many perks that hotels just aren’t able to touch. It

During a time of doubt, fear, and uncertainty it’s even more important to ensure that you have all the tools you need to feel confident and comfortable in your next steps. 

I personally know that one way of offsetting the fear of the unknown is having the right resources on hand. Add a little coaching, and the advice of an Airbnb business and design vet at your side and you’ve now given yourself the structure and support you need to launch a successful Airbnb that not only generates revenue, but provides a necessary service to the community and a world of eager travelers.
