And in today's video, we're going to talk about how you should go about managing Airbnb properties anywhere in the world, regardless of where you actually live, regardless where you're based out of how do you go about managing properties that are in a different location and how you can set yourself up to be able to manage Airbnb listings, anywhere in the world. Now, this is a really important question or the answer to especially right now, because there are some unique opportunities out there in the world.

Right now, we've talked about that in other videos on this channel. So highly recommend you go and check those ones out as well. We're going to talk about, you know what locations represent the best opportunities right now, if you're just getting started, and you don't have any properties yet on Airbnb. So that's a really cool advantage is that you can then if you know the answer to Hey, how do I manage properties in a different location from where actually live, then you can go and you could cherry pick the best location and get started. And now before we dive in all I really want to recommend that you guys check out the link in the description down below, where we've got a free training that I've lined up, that's exclusive for you guys, it's gonna be a limited time training, it's completely free for you to register and join.

Now, these are systems and strategies have been tested in the real world out there on the battlefield with me going out there and actually doing them but also over 400 students that I'm proud to say we've now worked with to help them build these incredible businesses that not only are very successful, but also are very robust. They're incredibly secure, consistent monthly income. Case in point is the fact that these businesses have survived 2020 and 2021. Now and are not only surviving but thriving.

So just go ahead, click the link down below, pause this video, take a second there, get yourself registered, so you don't miss out on that training.

Now, with that being said, let's go ahead and get started. The really the most important thing to remember is that when you're starting a business managing properties on Airbnb, if you're doing it local to you, it's going to be a little bit different than if you're doing a remote. So there's a couple of things that you have to keep in mind about setting it up properly, if you are gonna be managing properties remotely. Now really, there's two different options that you can choose two different directions you can go if you're setting up your business remotely, right from day one.

Option number one is to do the full suite of management like you would locally. But to make sure that you have a few things set up in place right out of the gate. So this is going to be you're on the ground support systems, meaning your cleaning team. And your gopher pantries and maintenance people that you have kind of on hand that you at least have connections with. So that you can take care of all that stuff for your first clients right from day one. with you being local, it's a little bit easier to navigate that stuff right out of the gate, you don't have to be quite as prepared. So you just have to be a lot more prepared going into it if you are going to be offering full service, and you're doing it remotely.

Now the other option is to do what I call pre check in management. Now pre check in manager is a really cool opportunity. If you want to manage properties remotely and you want to have your business really streamline you want to make it as efficient as possible. This is honestly the route the route, I recommend going if you are going to managing properties remotely, just because it's going to be a lot easier to get the business off the ground and going now what pre check and management is is you're actually managing just the aspects as the name would indicate that are prior to the check in.

So this means that you're not dealing with the cleaning, the property owner is going to take care of the cleaning, they're gonna take care of organizing that amongst their teams, you're not dealing with maintenance, that's again, going to be taken care of by the property owner, you're just going to be dealing with helping to optimize their listing, maximize their bookings, and the dollar value of their bookings, and get those guests checked into the property and then leave it over to the property owner from there to take over. Now. I get a lot of people ask me like, why would a property owner do that?

Or, you know, would it be a lot more challenging to bring on properties that way I had a student asked me out just a couple days ago, well, hey, James, you know, if I'm doing pre check in, would it not be a lot more challenging to get my first couple clients on board or get any clients at all on board, even doing pre check in versus doing full service? And the answer to that is not unless you're going after the wrong clients. The key here and this is the key in any business is to make sure that you go and find out what your client's needs are and their pain. points are, and you match that with a compelling offer that fits really well and satisfies those needs.

So to really put this into practical perspective, if you look at the perspective of going to vacation, homeowners, let's say someone that owns one vacation home, it's their second home, and you go to them and approach them about managing their property for them and doing a pre check in model, it's probably not going to be very attractive to a lot of them, you know, some of them, it might be a fit, but for a lot of them, they're probably going well, I don't have a cleaning team that I really know and trust and want to, you know, facilitate things with.

So that's going to be I wish you could take on that. And I don't really know, maintenance people. So I also wish you could oversee that I'm also, you know, hundreds of miles away. So I wish you could kind of oversee that. So it's really not that great of a fit, you might be able to get that person's property under management. But ultimately, you're not really going to be providing the service that they really need, and it's going to be most valuable to them.

Now, let's look at the other side of the equation. Let's look at, let's say for example, a property investor, a real estate investor who's got 510 15 properties they want manage, well, good, chances are, that person is going to already have in their Rolodex, a cleaner that they use consistently. And they they would love to be loyal to that they trust tremendously, that gives them really good rates, because they've been using them and working with them for a number of years on multiple different properties.

The same probably goes for maintenance people, that real estate investor has a large portfolio, good chances are, they're going to have those pieces already in place. And so having you come in and take away business from the people that they've been loyal to their cleaners, their maintenance people, that's going to actually cause tension, that's going to actually cause resistance, they don't want to give that business away to someone else. And they also don't want to start working with people that they don't already know, like and trust.

So if you can come in and offer, Hey, I'll take care of just doing the stuff that you don't want to do and that you're not good at. And you don't already have something figured out for meaning, you know, optimizing listing, optimizing the price and communicating with the guests prior to their check in, I'll take care of just that stuff, all that stuff you already have figured out, you just keep doing it. That's incredible for them. Because in the scenario where they're doing full service management, that person is going to have to pay extra for services they don't ultimately want or need. versus if they're doing pre check in, they're paying less money, and they're getting only the services they actually really need.

And you on the other hand, have a lot less headache, because you don't have to deal with anything pre post check in. And you're making a little bit less money per property, of course, but that means that you have a lot more bandwidth to manage a lot more properties. And this works especially well for real estate investors. So it's not uncommon for you to find one client, it's going to give you five properties are 10 properties to manage. And then boom, suddenly, you're making a really sizable monthly income off of just one single client with multiple properties. And the actual inputs are very, very simple. And automating that business is incredibly easy to do. Quality Control in that business is incredibly easy to do.

Because again, you're not overseeing things like cleaning or maintenance. So that is honestly a fantastic way to build a remote business that you can then run from anywhere in the world. Now, I also want to say that we also show you inside of our training programs inside the free training down below how to set your business up if you are doing full service and you are doing it locally or not. If you're doing full service, you can also put systems in place to fully automate and outsource your business so that you can step away and travel. There's a little bit more legwork going into doing that.

But it absolutely can be done. And we show you how to do that inside the trainings linked in the description down below. So regardless of which direction you go, there are a lot of different options, a lot of flexibility that you can create with your Airbnb management business. But it's important to know that if you're going to be starting out remote right off the bat, that there's some differences to starting out locally. And you just want to take those into account and make sure that you build your business accordingly. So I hope that's been really valuable to you.

Again, the link in the description below is going to show you where you can check out a free training that walks you through step by step by step, everything you're going to need to know from A to Z on how to actually earn a full time income managing other people's properties on Airbnb.
