The truth is, you don’t have to have experience or a ton of capital to get started. It seems like a lot of work to manage an operation that is effectively a mini motel. If I can manage my Airbnb listings from across the country, you will be able to manage it while having a full-time job if you choose!Īirbnb began in 2008 as an online marketplace to arrange lodging between individuals looking to rent out their space and those looking for accommodations.

I’ll go over the various steps I took to acquire the properties as well as tips on managing the properties remotely so you can still keep your day-to-day job. Within 2 years I have amassed over 500 five-star ratings and generated a six-figure income with a minimal investment in both time and capital. While I’m not the largest Airbnb host by any means, I believe many people looking to get into the Airbnb business are similar to myself. I am a millennial who graduated from Ohio State and was a real estate agent before moving to Los Angeles. Here’s a little information about me: My name is Jerry Xiong and I am a Super Host with 9 listings in Columbus, OH.

MM Note: This is a guest post from my buddy Jerry who is an extremely experienced Airbnb super host who makes over $10,000 per month and is on pace to reach financial independence using Airbnb rentals! I asked him to write a complete guide about making money with Airbnb.
