I was searching AirBnB here but couldn't find. Anyone has gone through it, thinking to do it, am doing it now?
What did you do and what do you hope it would be ? I am thinking to start using AirBnB to increase my unsold, un-rented properties. |

QUOTE(kentchow75 @ Sep 12 2017, 01:24 PM) in what area did you search no results? Try melaka, it's tourist hotspot and tons of airbnb featured here Homestay is trending at tourist hotspot and airbnb is providing them a healthy platform to attract potential custoers In contrast, KL's homestay trend is not as hot as melaka, most people came kl will direct book hotel to stay instead of looking for homestay  Good insights, I would have thought KL is the best location. |

QUOTE(twincharger07 @ Sep 12 2017, 06:01 PM) KL is also good area also.. thanks, I took a look but still unsure what the real story they have. That's why I am looking to attend some real life experience course. I don't want theory. a hands on crash course is great!If you are curious whether your area is "hot" or not, you can try go AirBnB, look at that location and look at the availability of the units around.. see the "unavailability" on the calendar to gauge the booking rate.. (but there is a catch, sometimes owners block the date for whatever reasons) Look at the listed price as well whether it make business sense to invest in AirBnB Do you stay in airbnb when you travel or are you also hosting ? |

QUOTE(scw @ Sep 12 2017, 11:20 PM) I hv been using airbnb to host for 3years in KLCC, never use any other hosting platform since then as i like to keep things simple(too much platform hard to monitor) 100% agree on the hands on, work hard points. One instructor shared that if we do AirBnB like that, it's like Self Employ in kiyosaki's quadrant. But one could also do AirBnB like a business as in automate the process as much as possible. Then not only you earn money successfully, you have freedom too. That's the part I thought was impossible in Malaysia but very interesting to find out ...Frankly speak commitment is equal return, i have seen many do it as part time,lack of time doing maintenance,peanut butter matter, and doesnt survive long, end up with dilapilated unit and forfeit their deposit. Is like how u run ur biz, if u put in more time n effort, u could probably double to triple ur earning. Try do ur own cleaning, maintenance and keep update ur details in airbnb, improve from reviews, result ll show Anyone need more insight can always find me by contact host through airbnb link below M (max=8pax) Soho Suites KLCC,KL Tower view, 2bedroom 1bathroom, 39flr,Business Class https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/3538813 M+ (max=8pax) Platinum Suites,360· KLCC view, 2bedroom 1bathroom,2min monorail, Retro game console https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/18593466 L (max=10pax) Soho Suites KLCC,KL Tower & Twin Tower City View, 2bedroom 2bathroom, 26flr, Full TV channels https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/16853510 L+ (max=12pax) Platinum Suites,360· KLCC view, 2bedroom 2bathroom,2min monorail, Wii console https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/12599847 XL (max=12pax) Soho Suites KLCC, KL tower view,3bedroom 2bathroom,Karaoke room https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/4457668 |
