The Best Investments to my Airbnb

Some conveniences are worth paying for, but some conveniences end up paying for themselves.

Hacking My Half-Million Dollar House

Living in a house has always been my preferred lifestyle choice, and getting paid to live in my house is even better.  When I moved down from Michigan, I had already been researching my area for 8 months.  The houses were extremely expensive, so I intended to get roommates to help with the cost initially and figured a partner could split the cost with me later.  The roommates turned out to be a disaster, and only brought in $1200/month anyway, so I decided a change was needed.  I tried hosting in my house for AirBnB in June, and found that it was far preferable to roommates, so I invested in the necessities to turn it into a solid business.

Guide to International Travel

International trips can be extremely eye opening.  You are able to immerse yourself in a culture unlike your own.  However, there are a couple things you have to remember before you can jet away to exotic new locales.

Amazon Prime Perks You Might Be Missing Out On

I have a subscription for Amazon Prime, and I find it extremely valuable for more than just free two-day shipping.  I end up saving more than the annual fee just from the extra services, so it’s worth it for me.  You still should always shop around when making purchases, and you can use CamelCamelCamel.com to check the historical price of your Amazon purchases.  If you won’t use any of the other perks, I still recommend just using free standard shipping for Amazon purchases over $25.

Cutting the Cord for Airbnb?

Cutting the cord is a sensitive topic for people who “need” it, and fortunately or unfortunately, a lot of people see lazily watching TV for the week as one of the best parts of their vacation.  It makes cutting the cord much harder when your goal is hacking your house for maximum profits.

Cleaning After Airbnb Guests

Someone has to do it.

AirBNB Photography Tips

You only have one chance to make a good impression before someone will move on to the next listing. The photos of your space make up a huge part of it.  Listings with great photos have significantly higher traffic, which leads to higher bookings.
