Hey Rob! I love that you make your excel spreadsheets available to everyone, I love excel and your spreadsheet works amazing! I was wondering if you have made or could make a video going into greater depth about how you use the spreadsheet and what everything means exactly. Thanks!
Oh. MG. The kid is adorable. And, as always, thank you for this video. You have really helped me in my deliberations about whether or not to start an AirBnB business.
I have a HUGE doubt!!! If you built a tiny house in JT for less than 200K and sold it for more than 600K, why don't you keep on doing that over and over until the ends of time?!?!?! PS:Sorry for my english, I'm from Argentina. Best
Because he can't build a house in 2 or 3 months and sell it for X amount of money. It takes time and money to do things and him renting out houses makes him that money.
Hey Rob, Love your videos. Serious question though: are you worried about an oversaturation problem happening in the near-term future. Let's say everybody's trying to get into this Airbnb game. You got double the supply but the demand stays the same. Do you ever fear that this could drastically harm your profitability in the future? Could make for a great video 😏
I think most people are too afraid to even ask for the amendment to a lease. That combined with actually being good at picking good properties and finding good locations/ managing the cleanup and marketing game make it not so easy to get into as people think.
If you really think about it, everyone could own an Airbnb because people would vacation at each other's place. But the reality is the percentage of the population that would even seriously consider this, let alone follow through, is insanely low. Risk aversion is widespread.
Pure success for you Rob!!! I really enjoyed this video and laughed a lot every time that light came up 😁🤭. You have an amazing way to make boring things interesting. So much amazing energy in your videos!!! Amazing.
Hi @Robuilt, quick question. In your cost spreadsheet where it asks for the "Percentage to investor", is this assuming you have a partner to pay out to, or am I the investor? Not sure what to put in that field if I do not have any partners. Love the channel! Thanks!!!
Howdy Rob, I'm so glad I found your channel! Such great content, vision, and passion for STR. I'm using your energy to keep focused as I move into the STR deals
Great VIDEO - SOOO Good, thanks so much Rob. This clears up allot for me plus I SUCK at spreadsheets - So Im gonna cop this one ATM and go forth into the new year and make some dreams come true. LMK if ya need an eager intern to helpout with any stuff around LA RURAL areas- ID LOVE to share with ya where IM looking to buy. (Hint - 1.5 hrs form LA and totally unheard of, but a premier mountain biking destination)
Rob you said you make 25k per property…. Adding that up, what percent is the expense like electricity, cleaners…? If if you don’t mind I see how much do you take home
I'm starting with a place I own outright, so the largest expenses will be remodeling and furnishing. In fact, I am thinking of getting a home equity line to finance those expenses. I have done a lot of planning, but need to do a lot more. I need more time to work on it. Since I work remotely I may move out of my current place out of state into the planned rental so I can live here rent free while I am working on it.
This might be a dumb question, but how does one come up with that kind of down payment on an average salary? $100,000 is more than I make in a year. How does everyone come up with this?
You only need 10% down for a second home but if you're smart you would buy every property as your primary residence and only pay 3.5% - 5% down. All you have to do is start your LLC and retitle every property into your business AFTER purchasing.
My Airbnb property that netted $72,000 last year cost $220,000 and cost about $10k to start in down payment and set up. This guy has a very high end thing going on. I’m building a tiny house on the same 5 acre property which in the end is gonna cost me about 16 K mostly because I had very expensive electric and septic set up which will probably net about 50 K. Then I’ll build another tiny house for about 10 K because I won’t have to worry about the electric in the septic because it’s already done and all and I’ll be able to pull about 150,000 a year out of the property for a mortgage that’s 1300 including tax and insurance. Don’t let these rich appearing guys scare you out of trying. And I say appearing because who knows what’s really going on. If he’s making so much money with his airbnb why is he running this weird host camp bullshit. Reminds me of those guys who claim that they’re real estate investor multi millionaires but they’re selling you a how to invest CD and course for $5000 LOL yeah fishy fishy
First all, good for you. Great returns. I’d be very curious how you started with $10k. Seems unrealistic to me. Second of all, my channel is all about helping people get started. Not scaring them out of getting started. You must be new here.
In my experience, rentals are considered by lenders more of a risk and vacation rentals sparactic income are not viewed as reliable income either as in showing a steady long term rental lease and monthly income to qualify for loans. I suspect this man has a lot of capital to begin with and mutiple mortgages is a house of cards!
Home prices in the US are a lot higher than they were pre-pandemic. What would you say to someone who's interested in starting, but concerned that the much higher cost of home buying (relative to people who bought pre-pandemic) would potentially make it really hard to compete with larger houses in better areas? When trying to calculate the mortgage, utilities and management fees (for those who need that) it looks like the price per night would be too high and not many people would want to stay there.
Yeah I came to the same conclusion, houses have become priced as if investors are buying them - for everyone. This has led to most properties cash flowing 0 dollars, or near enough to not be worth it. It really seems to be certain areas that are popular and making money...
My thoughts, firstly Rob himself is still investing, second so instead of 30% returns we’ll have 15% returns, I can live with that. Third it’s inflation times, so just like home prices are rising, so are wages and business returns. Those are my thoughts, you could leave it and totally disregard this..
@@Shilo1o1 I think at this point it's about finding the areas that people are visiting and have a lack of vacation housing. But on the properties I considered purchasing and went through in deep dives, the basically cash flowed 0%. No worries though, I just picked up a duplex that should cash flow near 1k a month as a long term rental :-D
Hi Rob. Top of the mornin to ya. ☀️ I hope you’re still answering questions on here, because LAWD HAVE MERCY. $80,000 down 🥲🥲🥲 can we get a loan for a loan?? Oh my lort. 😂
i have a 2nd home,my weekender lake house.i own it outright and its fully furnished. what would the total startup costs run me just to go through airbnb?or vrbo ?
Another great video. What do you think of the Joshua Tree Market. Is it saturated yet, still worth to start an rental property at the average price you mentioned?
hey, for the 50% cash on cash return, are you looking to have 50% of the total cost of the property, or just the total cost of what you invested in it? for 1.4Million, 300,000 annualy is around 20% but if you only invested 300-400k then that would be great. Thanks
Can I land hack a 3-acre lot on an FHA loan? I have a tiny home in the back of my property and want to add some cabins and put them on air BnB for short-term rental but keep hearing I cant. but I live in property so don't see why not. need some expert help. I am in parker county in texas west of fort worth, the county is an open zoning area, and no permits are needed FHA rules say only can be rental after living in the property for longer than a year then you can rent it but longer than 30 days no short term rental allowed but I guess that's for a primary residence it's not clear for adu and I am still living on the property. What's your opinion? thank you!!
@@zanesutherland406 Rent in my area is 1000 dollars, but if I rent out the tiny home or add a cabin for 100-200 a night I am looking at 3000-6000 dollars. and plus not to be mean but the tenant you attract for 1000 rent or less not very good in my opinion some times but with air BnB, you attract vacationers people looking to relax and experience
question: Do you need insurance for your rental business if you are doing arbitrage and it is only you working for the business and paying other people through contract? like cleaners and maintenance.
I have a question. When it comes to making the payments on the properties, does it make more sense to try and get them paid off as quickly as possible, or just make the minimum payments and take the cash flow from the unneeded money you would use to first pay the bills with? How long would it typically take to pay off a property?
Would depend on the interest rate, your debt level, your income, cost of the property, the loss of any tax break by not having a mortgage - speak with an accountant or financial advisor.
Love the videos love your explaining insightful etc all the interruptions to be funny is annoying.. bec I was following your train of thought and thinking and then I have to look at a cartoon or a movie clip.. you dont need to be funny you are very informative
Hey! I was curious if you have several months worth of mortgage payments available before you buy? Almost as an emergency fund in case the rental doesnt book as fast as you expected. If so, how many months do you have saved up?
Who is managing this thing. I have two and when you have a problem you have to be able to respond asap or you get a bad review and that can damage your business depending how and where you get reviews at.
Hey Rob as a fan, your neuroticism about the video quality is more distracting than the actually video quality issues themselves. Love how you pursue excellence, but your frustrations as you chase it is a little distracting from the great content.
For the cash on cash return Example of $50,000/$100,000 - is that $50,000 annual profit / $100,000 initial investment? Or what timeframe is that $50,000 number made? Thanks for the videos!!

How do you find investors to partner with?
I'm definitely doing the 2nd home thing right now on a 350k property 3rd row from the beach. AirDNA has me at roughly 55k gross rents per year.
Good occupancy percentage rating?
Pls add me
I am working on my first air BNB rn (heavily inspired by you, thanks❤️) and my question is....where are you getting 15 percent investment loans?
This video was hilarious and informative I’m glad I found you I will subscribe
I love your videos! You are entertaining to learn from.
Super helpful video as always Rob. Also, your editor is hilarious.
Oh my gosh.....you daughter's soooo cute, haha! Thank for the info!

Can you do a video on cash on cash return? Im very new to this and would like to know how to analyze a deal prior to a purchase. Thanks
I'm from Destin and excited to see what you do there!
15% down investment loans are awesome! Much nicer than 20% down and the lender usually considers projected rent to qualify.
In my experience, rentals are considered by lenders more of a risk and vacation rentals sparactic income are not viewed as reliable income either as in showing a steady long term rental lease and monthly income to qualify for loans. I suspect this man has a lot of capital to begin with and mutiple mortgages is a house of cards!
Damn! you said Destin. That's where I've been trying to buy!

What if government imposes lockdowns and makes it illegal for owners to rent out their short term rentals like what happened during C-19?
