<itunes:summary>Most people choose professional short-term rental hosting for the freedom—to work when and where you please, on your own terms. But that freedom is limited somewhat by the necessity of dragging a laptop wherever you go. What if there was a tool that would allow you to manage multiple listings remotely from your smartphone? No laptop necessary?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erinç Arık is the co-founder of Your Porter, the only mobile-first app for professional Airbnb hosts with multiple listings. Your Porter allows hosts to send automated messages, respond to initial guest inquiries, and assign tasks to teammates—linking all of your listings on a single dashboard. Erinç is also an Airbnb host himself, with six years of experience and 750 reviews.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Erinç shares his Airbnb hosting journey, explaining how he went from one to 11 listings in just a year. He discusses how the Your Porter app was born out of a desire to automate his own Airbnb business and its unique messaging, task assignment, and flight tracking features. Erinç also speaks to Your Porter’s ability to merge several accounts to a single dashboard as well as the free Airbnb Rankings Report available to hosts through his site. Listen in for Erinç’s insight around managing your business on-the-go and learn how to get a special GPFYP discount on your first Your Porter subscription!&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Special events like the Super Bowl present an opportunity for residents of the host city to list on Airbnb and generate extra income, but how do you decide on the right price for your listing? And how do you compete with all the other new hosts who had the same idea?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Margot Lee Schmorak, CEO and Co-Founder of Hostfully, joins Jasper to answer your questions around listing for special events like the Super Bowl. They also cover the recent Airbnb blog and subsequent Forbes article about optimizing search rankings that dispelled several myths regarding what counts when it comes to Airbnb SEO.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Margot and Jasper walk through this week’s Airbnb headlines as well, discussing the Leigh Gallagher interview with Brian Chesky regarding the IPO, the new short-term rental platform called CryptoCribs, and the Asbury Park host who’s challenging new regulations in the city.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Airbnb Finally Opens Up on How to Rise Through Its Search Rankings&lt;br /&gt;
• Dispels myths around search rankings&lt;br /&gt;
• Superhost status, ‘tweaking’ do not help&lt;br /&gt;
• Visits, clicks and level of interest do matter&lt;br /&gt;
• Search results highly personalized&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Asbury Park Homeowner Fights Airbnb Regulations&lt;br /&gt;
• City voting to prohibit short-term rentals unless owner present&lt;br /&gt;
• Host paying $20K in property taxes, uses Airbnb to defray cost&lt;br /&gt;
• Gathered necessary 156 signatures, forcing city council to consider alternative&lt;br /&gt;
• If alternative declined, issue goes to voters through referendum&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: Airbnb CEO: ‘We’ll Be Ready’ for IPO&lt;br /&gt;
• Declared halfway through two-year project in March 2017&lt;br /&gt;
• Will be ready in 2018, but may not go public right away&lt;br /&gt;
• Buffet advised Chesky to ‘get rich slow’&lt;br /&gt;
• Danger in IPO too early (i.e.: Blue Apron)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: CryptoCribs: The ‘Airbnb’ for Cryptocurrency Users&lt;br /&gt;
• Listing platform, pay with bitcoin or ethereum&lt;br /&gt;
• Uses blockchain to store info (public)&lt;br /&gt;
• Challenge in attracting supply and demand&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb on track to make bitcoin a feature as well&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q: I live in Minneapolis, the site of the 2018 Super Bowl, and I would like to list my home on Airbnb for the event. How do I maximize my earning potential?&lt;br /&gt;
• Beyond Pricing blog post explains massive increase in supply&lt;br /&gt;
• Occupancy went down during Super Bowl in Houston (from 55% to 25-30%)&lt;br /&gt;
• Guests expect to pay a lot for lodging (price increases of 50—100%)&lt;br /&gt;
• Keep prices high to position as premium listing&lt;br /&gt;
• List early to rack up as many reviews as possible&lt;br /&gt;
• Consider listing on multiple platforms (including local sites)&lt;br /&gt;
• Do your own search as potential guest to see search rankings, competition&lt;br /&gt;
• Customize your listing for Super Bowl, brand for teams involved&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>There are a number of different ways to take advantage of the Airbnb platform, from listing a room in your own home to re-leasing a rented apartment. You might choose to co-host with a property owner or rent out your entire home while you are away. Some creative hosts even convert unused spaces, turning a shed in the backyard into a tiny home or transforming an attic into a studio apartment. Toby Doré is doing all of this and more, using every Airbnb model that’s out there to generate income through the platform.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toby has been hosting on Airbnb in Lafayette, Louisiana, since March of 2013, and he has a whopping 1,776 reviews! Toby is also a full-time university professor in athletic training, sports medicine and sports psychology. He loves to travel, road-tripping across the US and visiting more than 40 countries in Europe, Central America, and South America.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toby is also a serial Airbnb entrepreneur who utilizes every model: re-leasing, co-hosting and listing his Lafayette home on the platform. He has his own website, Cajun Hostel, as well as a travel blog. Today on the podcast, he shares how an 8-week road trip inspired his Airbnb journey. He offers his take on the pros and cons of each model, explaining which has been the most lucrative and extending his advice around establishing contracts between co-hosts. Listen in and learn how Toby outsources much of his Airbnb business while he works full-time and travels the world!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Perhaps the greatest challenge of being a remote host is building a relationship with your guests when you can’t be there face to face. Airbnb was founded on the principal of personal connection, but when your listing is in the rural village of Dudeldorf, Germany, and you are a thousand miles away in Spain, how do you go about making the guests feel at home? Or providing personal recommendations for seasonal things to do?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Niels Becker has designed a truly genius approach to remote hosting through a listing Facebook page. The page functions as a sort of interactive, continually updated guidebook, providing guests with timely information around events in the area, like the popular Christmas market. In addition, the Facebook page promotes Niels’ listing as his satisfied guests like and share the page with their contacts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond his experience in the short-term rental market, Niels also manages several long-term rentals in Dudeldorf. Today on the podcast, he compares the revenue earned via Airbnb guests versus tenants. Niels explains how he secured public funds to restore his properties, why he chose to try Airbnb in one of those investment units, and how he finds information for his Facebook page. Listen in and learn his unique approach to remote hosting and why investing in rural communities is your safest bet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Niels’ decision to try Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Rents several units long-term (near US airbase)&lt;br /&gt;
• Had trouble renting small studio&lt;br /&gt;
• Listed studio on Airbnb six months ago&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The particulars of Niels’ investment property&lt;br /&gt;
• Beautiful area near border with Luxembourg&lt;br /&gt;
• Area losing residents to large cities&lt;br /&gt;
• Working to preserve heritage&lt;br /&gt;
• Provides funding to restore historic buildings (to modern standards)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Niels’ Facebook page&lt;br /&gt;
• Solves problem of being remote host&lt;br /&gt;
• Shares interesting things going on in area, nearby villages to visit&lt;br /&gt;
• Entries mined from local Facebook groups&lt;br /&gt;
• Provides most current, updated info&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How the Facebook page promotes Niels’ listing&lt;br /&gt;
• Guests ‘like’ the Facebook page&lt;br /&gt;
• Guests contribute their own photos, reviews&lt;br /&gt;
• Guests’ contacts exposed to listing&lt;br /&gt;
• Book Now button links to Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Long-term rental vs. Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Niels currently making 2X for studio&lt;br /&gt;
• Going into low season, but bookings still coming&lt;br /&gt;
• Comparable to long-term units (location, furnishings, architecture)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Niels manages his units from home in Spain&lt;br /&gt;
• Relies on local cleaning, management services&lt;br /&gt;
• Rest is automated (e.g.: lock box for entry)&lt;br /&gt;
• Sends handwritten note as photo through Airbnb to welcome&lt;br /&gt;
• Always available to guests through Airbnb messaging&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Airbnb-friendly regulations in rural Germany&lt;br /&gt;
• Short-term rentals, tourism encouraged&lt;br /&gt;
• Many empty units (opposite problem of cities)&lt;br /&gt;
• Earns less revenue than cities, but property more affordable&lt;br /&gt;
• Niels receiving very good ROI&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>It’s the top search question on Airbnb’s website and something every host has wondered: How do I improve my search rankings?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Airbnb released a blog post this week that sheds a little light on the factors the platform uses to determine your position in search results, offering three specific things you can do to work the search algorithm to your advantage and immediately boost your rankings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glenn Carter, Director of Marketing at Hostfully, is joining Jasper this week to discuss the data points that Airbnb uses to determine search results, as well as the reasons why you may have difficulty finding your listing online. They also cover another Airbnb press release that emerged this week involving access to their Application Program Interface (API), which will allow hosts to pull their data for third-party applications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also making headlines this week are some new Airbnb partnerships. The site is teaming up with a Florida developer to build an apartment complex specifically designed for home-sharing and offering extra support to hosts in the Airbnb Select program—in the form of home-improvement loans and advice around cosmetic improvements and photography for their listings. Listen in and learn how to help Airbnb help you make the most of your listing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And starting Monday, don’t forget to check out Jasper’s new travel vlog on YouTube!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Airbnb Blog: Answers to Your Top Search Questions&lt;br /&gt;
• Covers factors that influence position in search results&lt;br /&gt;
• Over 100 data points considered&lt;br /&gt;
• ‘Wishlisting’ does help&lt;br /&gt;
• Repeatedly changing listing does not help/hurt&lt;br /&gt;
• Make sure calendar updated daily&lt;br /&gt;
• Superhost status doesn’t boost position (but factors required do help)&lt;br /&gt;
• Rejected bookings result in lower ranking&lt;br /&gt;
• Most critical factors are Instant Book, fabulous first photo and competitive price&lt;br /&gt;
• Also addresses finding your listing online&lt;br /&gt;
• Jasper recommends zooming in on map&lt;br /&gt;
• Setting conditions on Instant Book may prevent you from seeing listing&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb uses sophisticated algorithm to personalize search results&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Airbnb is Teaming up with a Local Developer to Create a Large Apartment Complex in Florida&lt;br /&gt;
• 324-unit complex specifically designed for home-sharing&lt;br /&gt;
• Tenants allowed to rent for up to 180 days, share profits with landlord&lt;br /&gt;
• Located in Kissimmee, near Disney (market ripe for Airbnb)&lt;br /&gt;
• Plans to build five more complexes in other cities&lt;br /&gt;
• Risky if municipality sets anti-Airbnb regulations&lt;br /&gt;
• Concept of aparthotels has existed in South America for many years&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb can control physical guest experience through design of units&lt;br /&gt;
• Experience still individual (tenant lives there at least half of year)&lt;br /&gt;
• Additional services for hosts in building (i.e.: new sheets, laundry service, smart locks)&lt;br /&gt;
• May start trend of developers catering to short-term rentals&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: Airbnb to Offer Loans and Advice to Hosts Under New Scheme&lt;br /&gt;
• Associated with Airbnb Select program (luxury brand pilot underway)&lt;br /&gt;
• Provides loans for hosts to make home improvements&lt;br /&gt;
• Offers advice around cosmetic improvements, photos&lt;br /&gt;
• Loans repaid through revenue from bookings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: Connect to Our API, Connect to Millions of Travelers on Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Allows hosts to pull data into third-party applications (e.g.: pricing tools, Hostfully)&lt;br /&gt;
• Only offered to select few in past&lt;br /&gt;
• Underscores efforts to open platform, facilitate growth via partnerships&lt;br /&gt;
• Still have to fill out form to gain access&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>According to the recently released Airbnb Asia Pacific (APAC) Travel survey, 71% of travelers highlighted the importance of trying local cuisine. A separate Airbnb study published this week, the 2017 Restaurant Spending Report, found that Airbnb guests generated $6.5 billion dollars for restaurants around the world between September 2016 and September 2017. Airbnb is banking on these trends to continue with its rollout of a new in-app functionality that makes restaurant recommendations and even allows guests to book a table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is joined by Hostfully CEO and Co-founder, Margot Lee Schmorak, to discuss the connection between food and travel and how Airbnb is capitalizing on guests keen to experience a new place through its cuisine. They also cover recent interviews with Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky regarding the most important attribute for entrepreneurs and the introduction of Airbnb Experiences in New York City— featuring a shoe shopping trip with none other than Sarah Jessica Parker!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper and Margot wrap today’s episode with news that Airbnb Co-founder Joe Gebbia has listed his own place on Open Homes, and listener questions about writing guest reviews. Listen in to understand why honesty is the best policy when it comes to leaving feedback on Airbnb!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Airbnb and Resy Team Up to Offer In-App Restaurant Reservations&lt;br /&gt;
• New functionality allows guest to book table through Airbnb app&lt;br /&gt;
• Available in 16 US cities&lt;br /&gt;
• Notify restaurant if late, pay tax/tip through app&lt;br /&gt;
• Might remove layer of anxiety for international travelers&lt;br /&gt;
• Will depend on execution&lt;br /&gt;
• May be hard to get traction (people loyal to Foursquare, OpenTable)&lt;br /&gt;
• Demo of functionality doesn’t have restaurant reviews&lt;br /&gt;
• Potential to team with Yelp, OpenTable for reviews&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky on the Most Important Trait for Entrepreneurs&lt;br /&gt;
• Identifies childlike wonder, curiosity as crucial trait&lt;br /&gt;
• Aligns with Margot’s experience at Apple&lt;br /&gt;
• Good leaders ask questions&lt;br /&gt;
• Must have open mind&lt;br /&gt;
• Not afraid to go against mainstream&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: Airbnb Launches Local Tours in NYC with Sarah Jessica Parker&lt;br /&gt;
• Rollout of 150 experiences in NYC&lt;br /&gt;
• Includes shoe shopping experience with Sarah Jessica Parker ($400)&lt;br /&gt;
• Jury still out on traction of Airbnb Experiences&lt;br /&gt;
• Hard to make assumptions about urban travelers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: Food Influences Holiday Destination for 76% of APAC Travelers&lt;br /&gt;
• 71% of people surveyed emphasized importance of trying local cuisine on vacation&lt;br /&gt;
• Logical for Airbnb to add restaurant recommendations, reservation feature to app&lt;br /&gt;
• Host still has greatest incentive to give best recommendations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #5: Airbnb: Generating $6.5 Billion for Restaurants Around the World&lt;br /&gt;
• Study conducted by Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• 43% of spending occurs in neighborhood where staying&lt;br /&gt;
• Spending more than ever before ($40-$100)&lt;br /&gt;
• London tops list of guest spending in Europe, Prague at the bottom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #6: Airbnb Co-Founder Opens up His Own Home&lt;br /&gt;
• Joe Gebbia has listing on Open Homes platform&lt;br /&gt;
• Hopes to host refugee family this year&lt;br /&gt;
• Space boasts impressive collection of art, vintage chairs&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q: When a guest breaks the house rules, should I leave a negative review? I am reluctant to do so for fear it will hurt my Airbnb business moving forward.&lt;br /&gt;
• Should not fear retaliation&lt;br /&gt;
• Guest can’t see review until they post theirs&lt;br /&gt;
• Future guests unlikely to dig through reviews of previous guests&lt;br /&gt;
• Community platform built to weed out bad actors&lt;br /&gt;
• Honesty is of service to next host&lt;br /&gt;
• Reviews should be authentic representation of experience&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Airbnb is often cast as the villain in discussions around affordable housing. Aspiring home owners struggle to afford the 5% down payment required for a conventional mortgage, and as increasing numbers of real estate investors use platforms like Airbnb to accommodate tourists, prices get further out of reach for would-be residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yifan Zhang is re-casting Airbnb as a force for good in affordable housing with the launch of her new startup. Yifan is the co-founder and CEO of Loftium, a service that provides prospective home buyers with up to $50K for a down payment with the caveat that they list an extra bedroom on Airbnb for 12-36 months, and share the profits with Loftium for the length of the contract.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A 29-year-old Harvard grad with experience in the startup world, Yifan became an Airbnb host when she and her husband bought a townhouse in Seattle. The revenue stream from their spare bedroom covered the couple’s mortgage payments, and Yifan got the idea to help prospective home buyers come up with a down payment based on the potential profit of listing a spare room on Airbnb. Today she discusses rising home prices in the US, the strict mortgage regulations in place, and the media attention Loftium has received since its launch. Listen in to learn how the application process works, what happens if a customer breaks their contract, and how Loftium shares Airbnb profits with its hosts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Yifan got the idea for Loftium&lt;br /&gt;
• Tried hosting herself in apartments, always got caught&lt;br /&gt;
• Bought townhouse with husband in Seattle&lt;br /&gt;
• Listing spare bedroom on Airbnb covered mortgage&lt;br /&gt;
• Seeing revenue stream gave her idea to solve down payment problem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How much a typical down payment costs in the US&lt;br /&gt;
• Conventional mortgage requires minimum 5%&lt;br /&gt;
• First-time home buyers who meet qualifications can get 3%&lt;br /&gt;
• Average price of home in Seattle is $700K (5%=$35K)&lt;br /&gt;
• Difficult to save for down payment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The strict mortgage regulations in the US&lt;br /&gt;
• Can’t use just any funds&lt;br /&gt;
• Must save up for years&lt;br /&gt;
• Only other option is gift from parents&lt;br /&gt;
• Loftium is first regulator-approved source of down payment funding&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where Loftium operates&lt;br /&gt;
• Product launch in Seattle&lt;br /&gt;
• Plans to scale to other cities&lt;br /&gt;
• Vote for expansion cities on website&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Loftium’s current partners&lt;br /&gt;
• Mortgage provider Umpqua Bank&lt;br /&gt;
• Apply down payment to conventional Fannie Mae loan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How the Loftium process works&lt;br /&gt;
• Go to loftium.com&lt;br /&gt;
• Look up home for sale&lt;br /&gt;
• Platform gives estimate of down payment&lt;br /&gt;
• Use funding to make offer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What happens if Loftium customer breaks contract&lt;br /&gt;
• Pay back pro-rata amount of time remaining + termination fee&lt;br /&gt;
• No consequence if hosting traffic declines&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How hosts and Loftium share Airbnb profits&lt;br /&gt;
• Split varies, adjusted based on how much customer needs for down payment&lt;br /&gt;
• Typical split is 70/30&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Loftium handles changes in regulations&lt;br /&gt;
• Only open in markets with regulatory approval&lt;br /&gt;
• Restricted to spare bedroom in primary residence&lt;br /&gt;
• If rules change, Loftium has second lien on property&lt;br /&gt;
• Company gets paid back when customer sells house&lt;br /&gt;
• No cash burden on customer&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Loftium’s competitors&lt;br /&gt;
• ClearBank (Canadian lender)&lt;br /&gt;
• Works exclusively with existing hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Loans for furniture, renovations&lt;br /&gt;
• Recently added property&lt;br /&gt;
• Most Loftium customers are first-time hosts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Loftium supports its customer-hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Provides automation, software&lt;br /&gt;
• Partnering with existing companies&lt;br /&gt;
• Plan to supply suite of services&lt;br /&gt;
• Automated keypad, smart messaging, pricing tool&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Take a walk down the yellow brick road of Airbnb news this week for stories of brains, courage and heart, and learn about the brilliant idea behind a new startup in the ecosystem, the resolve behind the mandatory host registration in Paris, and the love story of a host in Philadelphia—who fell for one of her Airbnb guests!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is discussing these stories and your questions with Nicole Prentice Williams, VP of Strategic Partnerships at Hostfully. They get into the details of Loftium, the new Seattle startup that provides aspiring home buyers with up to $50K for a down payment, pending they agree to list a spare room on Airbnb and share the profits. Jasper and Nicole also cover the latest developments in the affordable housing crisis as Paris attempts to enforce its 120-day rule, and an Airbnb romance resulting from a mutual attraction between an American host and her European guest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last but not least, Jasper and Nicole answer listener questions around Airbnb deductions and the pros and cons of back-to-back bookings. Listen in for their advice about who to contact with tax questions and why it is more lucrative to hire a cleaning service and fill your Airbnb calendar.&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>The beautiful thing about Airbnb is that it provides an avenue for inspired entrepreneurs to leave jobs that aren’t fulfilling and start their own businesses in the vacation rental ecosystem, and today’s guest is a perfect example. Beautification Specialist Lily Troupe is the founder of Under Control Short Stay Management, Melbourne’s premiere turnover service and management company.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lily’s previous career as a social worker was incredibly demanding: She was working 12-hour days, but enjoying little financial reward. Feeling drained, she took a sales job with a network marketing firm and started cleaning and styling homes for extra money. One of Lily’s clients happened to be an Airbnb host, and when she went away on holiday, Lily was asked to help with check-in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lily’s reputation for attention to detail and exceptional communication soon spread, and her contact information was passed on to other hosts. In June of 2016, she officially expanded her offerings to include Airbnb servicing and management, and Lily established Under Control Short Stay Management. Today she shares how her service goes beyond just cleaning, what you can do to make a space more welcoming, and important information to share with your Airbnb guests. Listen in to learn how Lily has made cleaning an art form!&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Sometimes you get away because you want to, and sometimes you get away because you have no choice. Airbnb news this week features stories of both—from Americans heading to Britain to enjoy an affordable escape to Floridians fleeing the imminent threat of Hurricane Irma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is joined by Glenn Carter, Head of Marketing at Hostfully, to discuss the incredible jump in Airbnb visitors to Britain since Brexit, as well as the heartening story of the Miller family who found refuge from the hurricane barreling toward Florida with an Airbnb host in Indiana who offered his listing for free. They also cover the fire at a New Zealand Airbnb that sent its Malaysian guests to the hospital, highlighting the need for safety precautions and the difficulty of enforcing the Responsible Hosting Guidelines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wouldn’t be a Get Paid for Your Pad news episode without the latest developments in vacation rental regulations, so Glenn and Jasper are duty-bound to discuss the German host who managed to get away from the municipality’s very strict Airbnb rules via a lawsuit against the State of Berlin, and a rule-following host in Iceland who learned why so many hosts list on Airbnb illegally. Finally, they explain the surge in cryptocurrency startups who seek to get away from platforms like Expedia and Airbnb entirely, using blockchain technology to decentralize the travel industry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

• Municipalities willing to compromise will see increase in tourism dollars&lt;br /&gt;
• Efficient use of space when resident on holiday&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Article #6: Winding Tree is the New Kid on the Blockchain Set on Disrupting Airbnb and Expedia&lt;br /&gt;
• Envision world where platforms out of picture&lt;br /&gt;
• Seek to decentralize travel industry, all done on blockchain tech&lt;br /&gt;
• Startups raising millions of dollars&lt;br /&gt;
• Would eventually make Airbnb obsolete&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>As the saying goes, ‘Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.’ So when Jasper had the chance to speak with one of Airbnb’s fiercest critics in Amsterdam, he took full advantage of the opportunity and invited the journalist to be a guest on this week’s Get Paid for Your Pad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sander Schimmelpenninck is the editor-in-chief of Quote magazine, a Dutch monthly publication most well-known for the Quote 500, a list of the 500 wealthiest people in the Netherlands. Quote focuses on the business, finances, and networks of life at the top. In 2014, Sander wrote an opinion piece on the dangers of Airbnb in the Amsterdam market, discussing the impact of the vacation rental platform on the city as its concept shifted from that of a shared experience to a money-making machine for real estate investors avoiding income tax. He shared his concerns about the lack of regulation and how Airbnb made it increasingly difficult for Dutch residents to find an affordable home in a city overrun with the wrong kind of tourists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though he is not opposed to Airbnb as a concept, Sander does advocate for local governments to establish legislation specific to the needs of each city. Today he shares his love-hate relationship with the vacation rental market, explaining why regulations were necessary in Amsterdam, the downside of hosting so many tourists in the city, and his take on short-term rental management companies. Listen in as Jasper and Sander debate the pros and cons of Airbnb!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sander’s introduction to Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• First heard about platform when traveling west coast of US&lt;br /&gt;
• Family members enthusiastic about concept&lt;br /&gt;
• Friends started using as hosts, some made lifestyle&lt;br /&gt;
• Sander annoyed by fact that people not paying taxes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why Sander wrote the anti-Airbnb article in 2014&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb still relatively small&lt;br /&gt;
• Sander saw what platform could do&lt;br /&gt;
• Real estate moguls renting to tourists to double their money&lt;br /&gt;
• As small, densely populated city, Amsterdam vulnerable&lt;br /&gt;
• Favored concept during crisis, helped regular people&lt;br /&gt;
• Real estate investors buying property solely for Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Important that Dutch who want to live in city can find affordable home&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The downside of tourists vs. Dutch renters&lt;br /&gt;
• City branding attracts certain type of tourist (drug use, prostitution)&lt;br /&gt;
• Short-term rental platforms bring in low-cost travelers&lt;br /&gt;
• Tourists not invested in property as home&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current Airbnb stats in Amsterdam&lt;br /&gt;
• 15,000 active rentals&lt;br /&gt;
• $178 average daily rate&lt;br /&gt;
• 75% entire homes, 25% private rooms&lt;br /&gt;
• Can only rent entire home for 60 days&lt;br /&gt;
• 10,000 active hosts (88% single listing, 12% multiple listings)&lt;br /&gt;
• 18% Superhosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Hosts with multiple listings comprise 38% of available listings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sander’s take on Airbnb regulations in Amsterdam&lt;br /&gt;
• Necessary to stabilize tourism&lt;br /&gt;
• 60 days still quite long (30 days would be better)&lt;br /&gt;
• Meeting tourists in shared hallway, doesn’t feel like home&lt;br /&gt;
• Sander endorses shared rooms on Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why Sander supports regulations specific to each city&lt;br /&gt;
• Some cities rely on tourism for economic development&lt;br /&gt;
• Empty homes make regulations unnecessary&lt;br /&gt;
• Holland boasts strong economy, need people to live and work there&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sander’s attitude toward other vacation rental platforms&lt;br /&gt;
• booking.com very aggressive, focus on promoting short-term rentals&lt;br /&gt;
• Attracts different kind of traveler than Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• All platforms should follow same rules as Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Sander views short-term management companies&lt;br /&gt;
• Some companies legit, don’t take illegal listings&lt;br /&gt;
• Others aggressive, must rent illegally to afford up-front payment&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Airbnb has the capacity to change lives—for better or worse. This week’s headlines include an inspiring story of how the short-term rental platform has helped a Superhost from Tanzania afford schooling and travel, and even become an advocate for the Maasai culture around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another story of Airbnb changing a host’s life for the better features Jasper himself. In an interview with the Huffington Post, he explains how he used Airbnb to quit his successful career in finance and travel the world.

<itunes:summary>Many Airbnb guests are looking for a chance to unplug and truly get away from the madness of modern life. David Fraser has developed a low-risk Airbnb model that capitalizes on this by building log cabins on his property, and he is keen to share his best practices with the Get Paid for Your Pad audience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
David happened into the idea accidentally because his family had no place to sleep when they visited his country home outside Toronto. His mother sent him an ad for a cabin on Kijiji, and David began to wonder if such a rustic experience would do well on Airbnb when his family wasn’t staying there. He did a little market research by creating a listing, using stock photos of the cabin and pictures of the view from his backyard, and to his surprise, there was significant interest. David accepted his first booking and built the cabin from a kit—two days before the guests arrived!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nearly three years later, David has expanded his enterprise to three cabins and a shared bathroom facility. All the units have paid for themselves, and he is able to generate $4,000 CAD/month in cashflow. Today he explains how he developed the concept, from choosing a cabin to furnishings to maintenance. Listen to understand how David handles the seasonality of bookings and the potential for regulations down the road. If you are in the right situation, the log cabin model might work for you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How David developed the log cabin concept&lt;br /&gt;
• Moved to the country&lt;br /&gt;
• No place for family to sleep when visiting&lt;br /&gt;
• Mom sent ad for cabin on Kijiji&lt;br /&gt;

• Received interest, accepted booking&lt;br /&gt;
• Built cabin two days before arrival of first guest&lt;br /&gt;
• Refined process, added amenities&lt;br /&gt;
• Built two additional cabins and shared bathroom&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How much the cabins cost&lt;br /&gt;

• Negotiated with European company for wholesale price on next two&lt;br /&gt;
• Between $3,500-$8,000 CAD&lt;br /&gt;

• David recommends 6x6 pressure-treated lumber&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

• First year with single cabin, made $6,000 CAD (170% ROI)&lt;br /&gt;
• Single cabin this year generated $8,000 CAD (200% ROI)&lt;br /&gt;
• Additional cabins built this spring have already paid for selves&lt;br /&gt;
• Made $4,000 CAD last month&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How David approaches maintenance&lt;br /&gt;
• Changeover requires sweeping, change of bedsheets&lt;br /&gt;
• Simple because no bath/shower to clean&lt;br /&gt;
• Replace bedsheets as necessary&lt;br /&gt;
• Few things to break, not costly to replace&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seasonality of bookings&lt;br /&gt;
• Didn’t anticipate bookings in January, February&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The city may have a reputation for forgiving indiscretions, but not-so-much if your misdeed involves Airbnb hosting without the proper permit. In fact, the regulations around short-term rentals are incredibly strict in Las Vegas, and only the serious Airbnb entrepreneur will invest the time and money required to clear all the necessary hurdles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dillon is very familiar with the complex process of licensing in Las Vegas. He and his wife found their dream home in the city, but it was a little large for just the two of them. They decided to pursue Airbnb as a way to maintain the home and generate extra income. Unfortunately, Dillon was ‘turned in’ by an anonymous tipster, and forced to cancel upcoming bookings until he received the appropriate permit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Dillon walks us through the process, explaining the different types of available short-term rental permits, the fines associated with illegal hosting in Sin City, and the reason why regulations are so severe. Listen in as he shares the extra steps he took to secure the coveted Special Use Permit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why Dillon chose Airbnb over long-term rental&lt;br /&gt;
• Make three to five times more with short-term&lt;br /&gt;
• Make money rather than break even&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Dillon got caught doing Airbnb without a permit&lt;br /&gt;
• City putting together task force to go after hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Until then, rely on neighbors to turn people in&lt;br /&gt;
• Anonymous tip may be from competitors with permits&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The financial hit Dillon took pursuing the licensing process&lt;br /&gt;
• Seven months lost income (bookings)&lt;br /&gt;
• $2,000 in costs associated with obtaining permit&lt;br /&gt;
• Approximately $10,000 total&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fines associated with illegal Airbnb hosting in Las Vegas&lt;br /&gt;
• Dillon received warning first (cease and desist)&lt;br /&gt;
• Given ten days to come into compliance&lt;br /&gt;
• Had to cancel future bookings ($50 each)&lt;br /&gt;
• Can be fined for noise, lack of business license/permit ($2,000/day)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why regulations are so severe in Las Vegas&lt;br /&gt;
• Scotch Eighties neighborhood (not gated)&lt;br /&gt;
• Mansions owned by older, wealthy citizens&lt;br /&gt;
• Homes purchased for Airbnb (parties)&lt;br /&gt;
• Disruption of quiet area led to legislation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Conditional Use Verification permit&lt;br /&gt;
• Only available to small subset&lt;br /&gt;
• Owner-occupied, renting portion of home&lt;br /&gt;
• Pay $500 to obtain approval&lt;br /&gt;
• Must renew annually&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The process of obtaining a special use permit&lt;br /&gt;
• Go to Department of Planning, set up process&lt;br /&gt;
• Attend pre-application meeting (architectural drawings, plan)&lt;br /&gt;
• Appear at Planning Commission hearing (automatic denial)&lt;br /&gt;
• Appeal to City Council ($500 fee)&lt;br /&gt;
• Once approved, valid permit stays with property forever&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Dillon took extra steps to receive approval&lt;br /&gt;
• Wrote letters to City Council members, mayor&lt;br /&gt;
• Met with individual members of City Council&lt;br /&gt;
• Asked for feedback on improving plan&lt;br /&gt;
• Got neighbors on board&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The rules around short-term rentals outside the city proper&lt;br /&gt;
• Illegal in unincorporated townships and county&lt;br /&gt;
• Illegal in North Las Vegas as well&lt;br /&gt;
• Anything under 30 days is considered short-term rental&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>I agree to treat everyone in the Airbnb community—regardless of their race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, or age—with respect, and without judgment or bias. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Creating an account on Airbnb requires agreeing to the platform’s Community Commitment. When Airbnb became aware of users making plans to attend a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, the company took action to delete those accounts, and CEO Brian Chesky spoke out against Unite the Right, saying, “The violence, racism and hatred demonstrated by Neo-Nazis, the alt-right, and white supremacists should have no place in this world.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is joined by Hostfully marketing guru, Glenn Carter, to discuss Airbnb’s strong stance against the white nationalist philosophy. They also cover the latest in Airbnb’s ongoing conflict with the hotel industry, examining the Hotel Association of New York City’s hiring of a private security firm to hunt down illegal activity on the platform.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the news isn’t all bad! Glenn and Jasper also mention Airbnb’s latest milestone: The home-sharing site’s unprecedented four million listings – which account for more than the top five hotel chains combined. Other wins for Airbnb this week? They have announced a partnership with Vice Media that will promote their Experiences travel packages, and you can now book an entire island in Belize on Airbnb for a romantic getaway. Listen in to learn about these stories, as well as Google’s entry into the short-term rental space.&lt;br /&gt;

The good news is, there are a number of steps you can take to screen potential Airbnb guests that will ensure your safety – and improve the quality of the experience for guests who do make the cut!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tanner Henkel is an Airbnb Superhost out of Toronto. He moved to the city in November of 2016, and quickly realized that his new building in the heart of downtown was prime real estate for Airbnb. Tanner enlisted the help of his roommate as a co-host, and now he has the opportunity to travel – and earn a substantial income through Airbnb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a frustrating experience with a guest who didn’t communicate his specific needs, Tanner developed a vetting process to protect his Airbnb business and verify that guests have appropriate expectations. Today he shares what he’s looking for in a guest profile, how he communicates with potential guests to ascertain their needs and expectations, and his advice around red flags to avoid.

<itunes:summary>Friends, foes and IPOs dominated Airbnb news this week. The company’s agreement with the city of Barcelona made headlines, as did its response to the New York hotel industry’s vicious attack ad with a powerful commercial of its own. Is Airbnb getting its proverbial ducks in a row in preparation for an IPO?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hostfully President and Co-Founder David Jacoby joins Jasper to talk through the comprehensive overview of Airbnb that hit the pages of Skift this week, exploring the company’s development and how its preparation to go public is likely affecting leadership’s decisions. They also address the details of the reconciliation with Barcelona and the ongoing rift with the hotel lobby, as well as a recently published Airbnb price comparison map of Europe. Spoiler alert: Macedonia may become a new vacation hotspot for travelers on a budget!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
David and Jasper close with the popular Q&amp;A portion of the show, speaking to your concerns about the Airbnb Extenuating Circumstances Policy, a possible glitch in the new tool that links calendars for hosts with multiple listings, and listing on multiple platforms. Listen in for property management software recommendations and advice around contacting Airbnb right away when unusual circumstances arise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Hunting for an Airbnb Bargain? Map Reveals the Lowest Nightly Rates Around Europe&lt;br /&gt;
• Useful for travelers looking for affordable options&lt;br /&gt;
• Iceland is most expensive at £112 (approximately $170)&lt;br /&gt;
• Scandinavian countries also expensive&lt;br /&gt;
• Macedonia (£26), Albania (£27) and Moldova (£28) are most affordable ($40-$50)&lt;br /&gt;
• Bulgaria, Poland and Slovakia surprisingly affordable&lt;br /&gt;
• Rates seem to correlate with how expensive countries are in general&lt;br /&gt;
• Greece, Switzerland much more expensive for party of six vs. party of two&lt;br /&gt;
• Andorra, Liechtenstein very cheap for larger groups&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Airbnb Slams NYC Hotel Industry’s ‘Attempt to Protect Their Ability to Price Gouge’ in New Ad&lt;br /&gt;
• Response to attack ad linking short-term rental to terrorism&lt;br /&gt;
• Features stay-at-home dad who supplements income with Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb spending $500,000 to broadcast&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

• Comprehensive overview of company&lt;br /&gt;
• Discusses regulatory battles and discrimination issues&lt;br /&gt;
• Examines Instant Book and employee fatigue&lt;br /&gt;
• Ambition to become a ‘super brand of travel’&lt;br /&gt;
• Mentions David and Jasper!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: Barcelona and Airbnb Reach Deal After Months of Conflict&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb agreed to remove listings lacking permit&lt;br /&gt;
• Barcelona seeks to curb boom of visitors&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb resolving disputes city by city&lt;br /&gt;
• Played out differently in NY (hosts fined rather than Airbnb)&lt;br /&gt;
• Agreements with local municipalities give Airbnb leg up on competitors&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q1: A guest who had reserved my apartment for a month contacted me to say he wasn’t coming because his wife had passed away; however, he didn’t cancel his reservation. As a result, my calendar was blocked, and I was unable to book any other guests during that time. Now Airbnb has informed me that they are deducting the full amount I received from the guest per the Extenuating Circumstances Policy. I am sympathetic to the guest’s situation, but Airbnb is an important source of income for me. Now I am having trouble contacting Airbnb. What should I do?&lt;br /&gt;
• Contact Airbnb right away when uncommon situations arise&lt;br /&gt;
• Should have requested that Airbnb cancel reservation&lt;br /&gt;
• Call 1-855-424-7262 in US&lt;br /&gt;
• Search Airbnb customer service numbers by country&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q2: I have three listings on Airbnb, and I make use of the option to link the calendars to avoid double bookings.</itunes:summary>

<itunes:summary>As rental prices continue to rise, more and more apartment residents are tempted to enlist Airbnb to help cover the cost – with or without the landlord’s permission. Luckily, a growing number of landlords recognize that permitting short-term rentals could increase their profits and attract new residents to their buildings. That’s where Pillow Residential comes in. This new product offering allows building owners to offer the Airbnb option as an amenity for residents, and Pillow in turn gives landlords transparency regarding who’s in their buildings and a cut of the profits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sean Conway, Co-Founder and CEO of Pillow, has a huge passion for travel. After the sale of his first startup venture, Notehall, Sean backpacked all over the world, staying in Airbnb properties. Sean finds that he is his best self when he travels, when he has the opportunity to interact with other cultures, and he wanted to make it easier for others to afford to travel and feel that same human connection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sean launched Pillow in San Francisco in 2014 with the intention of taking the hassle out of hosting. The company has expanded to a dozen cities, providing short-term property management services and promoting the concept of global citizenry. Today Sean talks through the details of the new product, explaining why his team developed the amenity, how Pillow Residential benefits landlords and residents alike, and the demand he has seen for the product thus far. He also shares his point of view regarding the greatest challenges in the vacation rental space as well as his take on the future of the Airbnb ecosystem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why Sean developed the new product, Pillow Residential&lt;br /&gt;
• Rental prices higher than ever (35-45% of income in some locations)&lt;br /&gt;
• Landlords willing to allow Airbnb, but calling for structure&lt;br /&gt;
• Pillow Residential helps residents earn income while on vacation&lt;br /&gt;
• Prevents violation of HOA, lease agreement&lt;br /&gt;
• Allows landlord to feel comfortable&lt;br /&gt;
• Works with city regulations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The benefits of Pillow Residential for landlords&lt;br /&gt;
• Amenity attracts residents&lt;br /&gt;
• Provides insight, transparency re: who’s in building&lt;br /&gt;
• Increases applicant pool, occupancy&lt;br /&gt;
• Offers landlords cut of profits&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Pillow Residential works&lt;br /&gt;
• Opportunity assessment (gives landlord sense of what might earn)&lt;br /&gt;
• One-hour onboarding session&lt;br /&gt;
• Pillow creates landing page for residents&lt;br /&gt;
• Pillow sends residents an email explaining new amenity&lt;br /&gt;
• Residents sign in through landing page, property manager monitors&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The high demand for Pillow Residential&lt;br /&gt;
• 110 signups&lt;br /&gt;
• 60,000 units&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sean’s take on the greatest challenge the Airbnb ecosystem faces&lt;br /&gt;
• Pillow has 200 SOPs&lt;br /&gt;
• 80% of situations fall into top 20% of SOPs&lt;br /&gt;
• Create standardization AND keep personalization&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sean’s conviction that the Airbnb ecosystem will continue to thrive&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb changing way people live&lt;br /&gt;
• Millennials embracing digital nomad lifestyle&lt;br /&gt;
• Opportunities for wide range of players&lt;br /&gt;
• Room to grow in industry&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The tools Pillow uses to manage client listings&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>The hotel lobby has crossed a line this week with an ominous ad linking Airbnb to terrorism. Airbnb spokesperson Peter Schottenfels referred to the commercial as ‘an outrageous scare tactic’ and argued that the big hotels sponsoring the ads have lodged terrorists themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Jasper is joined by Noah Neiman, Hostfully Co-Founder and Head of Product, to offer their takes on the tenuous argument made in the attack ad and share their recent adventures dealing with short-term rental hosts making unexpected requests. They also cover the incredible growth of Tujia, Airbnb’s Chinese competitor, and the staggering boost in Airbnb bookings associated with the solar eclipse taking place August 21st.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listen in to learn how Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky handles his lengthy to-do list, and how you might handle a bad review that stems from charging a guest for damages. Noah and Jasper conclude with a question from the Facebook group around Smart Pricing. Learn why Airbnb has an incentive to keep prices low and how you can use an alternative third-party service to determine the optimal price for your listing!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: New York City’s Hotel Industry Links Airbnb to Terror in Harsh Ad&lt;br /&gt;
• Refers to Manchester attack&lt;br /&gt;
• Intends to instigate fear&lt;br /&gt;
• Link tenuous at best&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb calls ad ‘outrageous scare tactic’&lt;br /&gt;
• Counterargument that terrorists also stay in hotels&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Ctrip Keeps Supporting Tujia ‘WeChat Hotels’ to Engage in Shared Housing&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb competitor in China&lt;br /&gt;
• Partners with text app and travel service site&lt;br /&gt;
• Triple digit growth since 2016&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb may need local partners to compete&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: Airbnb Expects its Biggest Night Ever in South Carolina Thanks to Total Solar Eclipse&lt;br /&gt;
• Solar eclipse on August 21&lt;br /&gt;
• Path of eclipse through many rural areas (with few hotels)&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb bookings five times higher than usual&lt;br /&gt;
• Hosts should use dynamic pricing apps&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: The CEO of Airbnb Starts Each Morning with a Simple but Effective Twist on the Standard To-Do List&lt;br /&gt;
• Start with exhaustive list of things to accomplish&lt;br /&gt;
• Group similar tasks, choose one that will cover all in group&lt;br /&gt;
• Refine to a few big tasks&lt;br /&gt;
• Shark Tank investor Barbara Corcoran uses similar strategy&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q1: A guest spilled red wine on my table runner. Should I take part of the deposit to cover the cost? I am worried about receiving a poor review in retaliation.&lt;br /&gt;
• Yes – if cost is significant percentage of rental fee&lt;br /&gt;
• Can request to have unfair review removed or respond to review with explanation&lt;br /&gt;
• One bad review won’t destroy your business (80% five-star reviews necessary to maintain Superhost status)&lt;br /&gt;
• No guarantee host will receive portion of security deposit&lt;br /&gt;
• Claim before next guest arrives, within 14 days&lt;br /&gt;
• Guest can accept or decline&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb investigates, mediates resolution&lt;br /&gt;
• Documentation necessary&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q2: Airbnb Smart Pricing doesn’t reflect the optimal price for my listing. Why?&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb branded as affordable alternative to hotels&lt;br /&gt;
• Must consider best interest of guest&lt;br /&gt;
• Incentive to keep prices low&lt;br /&gt;
• Use a third-party service like Beyond Pricing&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>So you’ve been hosting on Airbnb for a while now, and you’re loving it. Maybe you’re thinking about expanding your business to include an additional property, but you don’t have a ton of capital lying around. Is there any way to scale your Airbnb venture with a modest investment of, say, $10,000 or less? The answer is heck yes, and today’s guest shares how he is re-leasing rental properties via Airbnb, incorporating short-term rentals into his real estate business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the help of a mentor, Eric Moeller started investing in real estate at the tender age of 18. Eric has a wealth of experience in house flipping, apartment buildings and real estate development, and he worked from the traditional landlord model until he sold his company in 2015. As Eric traveled the US that year – making use of Airbnb as a guest – he began to realize the investment potential of hosting. After looking at the numbers, he determined that he could double his ROI by pursuing short- rather than long-term rentals, and he developed a strategy for pitching a re-lease model to rental property landlords.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016, Eric moved to San Diego and originated the startup Homtel Tonight, an Airbnb management, leasing and investment company. He is a Superhost with listings in San Diego and Rosarito, Mexico, as well as the architect of the upcoming Airbnb Mastery Summit. Listen in as he discusses his process for selecting units for Airbnb, his approach to determining your niche avatar, and the unique amenities he offers guests. Learn the fundamentals of the re-leasing model as well as Eric’s approach to finding willing landlords. If you’re looking to grow your Airbnb business via rental properties, this interview is a must-listen!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eric’s advice around selecting units for Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Choose carefully based on demand, city support of Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Doesn’t have to be in backyard&lt;br /&gt;
• Utilize tools like AirDNA and Rent Responsibly&lt;br /&gt;
• If re-leasing, approach landlords with pitch&lt;br /&gt;
• Analyze the numbers (with 70% occupancy, should generate 2X amount of rent)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The characteristics Eric is looking for in a potential Airbnb property&lt;br /&gt;
• 2BR apartments, standalone single-family houses best in San Diego market&lt;br /&gt;
• Location near attractions or airport&lt;br /&gt;
• Most unique spaces, potential to create unique experience&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eric’s approach to determining your target guest&lt;br /&gt;
• Become guest yourself, note design and amenities&lt;br /&gt;
• Research properties in area on Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Focus on niche to attract a single avatar (i.e.: beach life, business community)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eric’s recommendations around designing your Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Hire local interior designer&lt;br /&gt;
• Buy artwork, etc. from local shops&lt;br /&gt;
• Decorate around theme for better booking results&lt;br /&gt;
• Budget $5,000—$7,000 for furniture, painting&lt;br /&gt;
• Buy furniture second hand or shop at IKEA&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The amenities Eric offers guests&lt;br /&gt;
• All basics (e.g.: paper goods, towels, fully stocked kitchen)&lt;br /&gt;
• Wi-Fi connection and Smart TVs&lt;br /&gt;
• Guests can request additional kitchen implements&lt;br /&gt;
• Beach properties include surf boards, skateboards and beach chairs&lt;br /&gt;
• Luxury rentals offer car service from airport, link to his cars on Turo&lt;br /&gt;
• Business properties offer custom workstation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The differences between re-leasing vs. buying property for Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• More options to change physical structure if buying&lt;br /&gt;
• Focus on staging and paint in re-leasing situation&lt;br /&gt;
• Same systems, tools for property management&lt;br /&gt;
• Update landlord monthly in re-lease (upcoming dates booked, checklist)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Eric obtains leads for willing landlords&lt;br /&gt;
• Online marketing targets real estate investors&lt;br /&gt;
• Craigslist (team calls every homeowner who fits model)&lt;br /&gt;
• Networking with landlords, investors&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Branding is an aspect of the short-term rental game that many hosts overlook. And when you’re first getting started, you may not know what sets your listing apart from others in the area. But once you’ve had a few guests, it is possible to use their feedback to identify the most attractive aspects of your property and strategically incorporate that information into your listing. Today’s guest reveals how he got clear on his brand -- and a host of other lessons he learned in his 20-year career in the vacation rental space!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jack Pope got into hosting to supplement his income as a teacher. He converted an extra space in his home on the Sunshine Coast of western Canada into a suite, but zoning didn’t allow for long-term rentals. So Jack got connected with a group of vacation rental entrepreneurs, eventually becoming president of the largest B&amp;B association in western Canada.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An early adopter of technology in the short-term rental space, Jack made use of online platforms as they became available. Airbnb has become a valuable tool in his business, and 70% of his bookings now come from the site. He has been a Superhost for seven consecutive quarters, and today he shares his extensive hospitality expertise with the Get Paid for Your Pad audience, explaining how he marketed Coracle Cove in the days before online booking, how he achieves a crazy-high return rate on guest reviews, and how he has automated guest communication. Listen in for his advice around providing a seamless check-in and branding your listing to attract the right guests!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How hosting was different 20 years ago&lt;br /&gt;
• Most bookings done by phone&lt;br /&gt;
• Only 20% of bookings made online&lt;br /&gt;
• Local portal generated most referrals&lt;br /&gt;
• Brochures, self-promotion as marketing tools&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Jack marketed Coracle Cove early on&lt;br /&gt;
• Connected with travel writer, spread in Vancouver Sun&lt;br /&gt;
• Hosted writer from Lonely Planet&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The platforms Jack utilizes to promote his vacation rental&lt;br /&gt;
• His own website&lt;br /&gt;
• FlipKey&lt;br /&gt;
• HomeAway&lt;br /&gt;
• Local Sunshine Coast Tourism site&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Jack achieves a 91% return rate on guest reviews&lt;br /&gt;
• Promise to write positive review for guest at checkout&lt;br /&gt;
• Send thank you message through Airbnb soon after checkout&lt;br /&gt;
• Review guest immediately after email received&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Jack used guest reviews to brand his listing&lt;br /&gt;
• Categorized guest comments in TripAdvisor reviews&lt;br /&gt;
• Modified listing title based on unique aspects&lt;br /&gt;
• Pulled quotes to use as photo captions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four automated messages Jack schedules through Aviva IQ&lt;br /&gt;
• Confirmation and welcome with short video (10 min after booking)&lt;br /&gt;
• Detailed directions and link to blog (week prior to arrival)&lt;br /&gt;
• Link to video and blog (morning of arrival)&lt;br /&gt;
• Thank you and review request (soon after checkout)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The importance of specific, accurate directions&lt;br /&gt;
• Positive reviews are essential&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>As ShareBetter ramps up its aggressive smear campaign against Airbnb, the platform is fighting back. This week Airbnb filed a formal complaint against the coalition, alleging that ShareBetter has failed to register as a lobbyist, disclose its funding sources, and file the required expense reports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Glenn Carter, Hostfully Director of Marketing, joins Jasper to discuss the showdown between ShareBetter and Airbnb, explaining how the coalition functions as a mouthpiece for the hotel industry. They also cover the exponential growth Airbnb is experiencing in London and the resolution to the incident of racism in Big Bear last year when an Airbnb host cancelled a reservation at the last minute because the guest was Asian American.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To wrap up today’s episode, Glenn and Jasper address a question posed via the Facebook group around cleaning white bedding and towels. Listen in as they brainstorm ideas for keeping your whites white and your Airbnb looking spit spot spic and span!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Airbnb Bookings in London More Than Double in Just One Year Despite Concerns Over ‘Lack of Regulation’&lt;br /&gt;
• Number of nights booked shot up 130% last year&lt;br /&gt;
• From 4% of market share in 2015 to 9% in 2016&lt;br /&gt;
• Nights booked rose from 2M to 4.62M&lt;br /&gt;
• 13,000 bookings on any given night&lt;br /&gt;
• Additional 55% increase in first four months of 2017&lt;br /&gt;
• 90-day limit may curb growth&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Airbnb Host Who Canceled Reservation Using Racist Comment Must Pay $5,000&lt;br /&gt;
• February incident took place in Big Bear&lt;br /&gt;
• Dyne Suh booked mountain cabin for ski weekend&lt;br /&gt;
• Host cancelled reservation by text, race given as reason&lt;br /&gt;
• Host ordered to take Asian American studies course in addition to $5,000 fine&lt;br /&gt;
• Also required to apologize, participate in community education panel, and volunteer with civil rights organization&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: Airbnb Fights Back Against Lobby Groups, Demands Info on Their Funding Sources&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb filed formal complaint with NY state ethics panel&lt;br /&gt;
• Accuses ShareBetter of illegal, unreported lobbying&lt;br /&gt;
• ShareBetter largely funded by hotel industry, worker union&lt;br /&gt;
• Aggressive anti-Airbnb campaign includes paying PIs to pose as guests&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb working with local municipalities to comply with regulations&lt;br /&gt;
• Racism, affordable housing and public safety are issues worth discussing&lt;br /&gt;
• ShareBetter doesn’t seem interested in dialogue to solve problems&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q: How do I deal with makeup marks on white bedding and towels?&lt;br /&gt;
• Provide guests with makeup remover wipes&lt;br /&gt;
• Try cleaning products like Vanish Oxi Action, OxiClean or Triple-Acting Shout&lt;br /&gt;
• Leave laundry in water with bleach overnight, then wash at 90°&lt;br /&gt;
• Consider providing brown towels for makeup removal&lt;br /&gt;
• Leave framed note with specific instructions&lt;br /&gt;
• Charge small cleaning fee, use reserve fund to replace bedding/towels as needed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper’s Feedback Around Current Airbnb Stay in SoHo&lt;br /&gt;
• Consider blackout curtains for jetlagged guests&lt;br /&gt;
• Change Wi-Fi network, password for ease of use&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>So you’ve invested in a property, finished the remodel, and now you are ready for tenants. Would it be more lucrative to pursue a long-term rental agreement? Or could you generate more revenue by listing the space on Airbnb?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ande Burchfield is an attorney with Burchfield Law, PLLC, serving businesses, non-profits, and real estate investors. Ande has an extensive real estate portfolio of her own, and she was already managing several long-term rental properties when she joined Airbnb in 2012. The vacation rental market in Oklahoma City proved profitable, and she has since expanded her short-term rental business to include three properties in the area. Ande is prepared to explain the formula she uses to determine whether a property is a good candidate for Airbnb, or would serve her better as a long-term rental. She also explains how to evaluate the demand for short-term rentals in your area, as well as the expenses associated with Airbnb that will affect your decision to rent to either travelers or lessees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The evolution of Ande’s Airbnb business&lt;br /&gt;
• Established long-term rental portfolio&lt;br /&gt;
• Wanted to try Airbnb as experiment&lt;br /&gt;
• Managed herself first nine months&lt;br /&gt;
• Created systems, added cleaning staff&lt;br /&gt;
• Eventually hired property manager&lt;br /&gt;
• Added two listings&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb now self-sustaining business&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ande’s first Airbnb listing&lt;br /&gt;
• Duplex on golf course&lt;br /&gt;
• Remodeled inside&lt;br /&gt;
• One of better homes in neighborhood&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Airbnb lessons Ande learned early on&lt;br /&gt;
• Cater to guest standards (not your own)&lt;br /&gt;
• Provide blackout curtains for jetlagged guests&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How to determine if demand exists for Airbnb in your town&lt;br /&gt;
• Hotels point to a need for accommodations&lt;br /&gt;
• Won’t know until you try&lt;br /&gt;
• Consider listing on multiple platforms (easy to sync calendars)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How to decide whether to offer long-term rental or list property on Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Compare Airbnb net profit to long-term rental gross revenue potential on traditional one-year lease&lt;br /&gt;
• Calculate net profit by subtracting Airbnb expenses (mowing, utilities, Wi-Fi, cleaning, management, consumables, wear-and-tear of furnishings, general maintenance) from gross&lt;br /&gt;
• Consider the neighborhood and tourist presence&lt;br /&gt;
• Remember that real estate is underlying asset&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Airbnb’s push to pay cleaners $15/hour&lt;br /&gt;
• Big cut into profit margin for Airbnb’s in certain areas&lt;br /&gt;
• Ande pays fixed amount per job&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>‘Another Successful Airbnb Stay’ – said no headline ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though it’s a rare occurrence, when something bad happens in an Airbnb, it makes headlines. Unfortunately, an alarming incident took place at an Amsterdam listing this week when guests were late checking out, and an enraged host threw a woman down the stairs – while her friend filmed the confrontation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is joined by David Jacoby, President and Co-founder of Hostfully, to discuss a better way to handle the situation if guests are late checking out. They also cover a study naming Airbnb the most lucrative of the gig economy platforms, the new regulations under development in LA, and Airbnb’s plans to enter the luxury space in 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, David and Jasper answer questions posed by the Facebook group around what consumables hosts should provide. They offer advice about buying in bulk, storing the excess, and offering inexpensive little things that make a big difference. Got a question for the Get Paid for Your Pad team? Email Jasper at [email protected]!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Airbnb Guest is Hospitalised After Landlord Pushes Her Down Stairs for Failing to Check Out on Time&lt;br /&gt;
• Host faces attempted murder charge&lt;br /&gt;
• Incidents like this are rare&lt;br /&gt;
• Should have tried contacting guest first (call and message through platform)&lt;br /&gt;
• Then contact Airbnb, local authorities if necessary&lt;br /&gt;
• Confirm ETA and departure in welcome email&lt;br /&gt;
• If guests need to checkout late, offer place to store luggage&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: New Rules are Coming for LA Airbnb Hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Home-sharing ordinance in development&lt;br /&gt;
• Will likely require hosts to register&lt;br /&gt;
• Follows lead of cities like San Francisco, NYC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: Forget Uber and Lyft, This Is Where to Find the Money in the Gig Economy&lt;br /&gt;
• Study found Airbnb to be most lucrative platform&lt;br /&gt;
• 84% of gig economy workers make less than $500/month&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb hosts make average of $924/month&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb monetizes asset rather than labor&lt;br /&gt;
• Unfair comparison, doesn’t subtract opportunity cost&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: Airbnb to Launch Higher-End Luxury Service in Late 2017&lt;br /&gt;
• Acquired Luxury Retreats for $200-300M&lt;br /&gt;
• Promoting luxury service with celebrity marketing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q: To what extent should I provide consumables to my guests?&lt;br /&gt;
• Depends upon type of experience aim to provide&lt;br /&gt;
• Marketing to higher-end, provide additional amenities&lt;br /&gt;
• Worth investment to buy in bulk, team up with hosts in neighborhood&lt;br /&gt;
• Have cleaning staff replenish on as-needed basis&lt;br /&gt;
• Little things go long way (i.e.: transit cards, board games, coffee)&lt;br /&gt;
• Prepackaged toiletries available, but can be wasteful&lt;br /&gt;
• Provide small amount of food/drink, lock up excess&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>The safe approach to designing your space for Airbnb involves a very clean, sterile look complete with your basic IKEA furniture. But today’s guest prefers to offer his guests a more unique experience, and he personalizes his space with art, board games and a garden. His guide books include stories about how some of the artwork was acquired, and he is currently developing playbooks filled with activities and information catered to a specific type of guest. His ‘outdo yourself’ philosophy allows him to make the most of his Airbnb listings and help his guests feel at home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joe is an entrepreneur and Airbnb host out of Denver. He grew up in New York City, where he was inspired by the arts and design. Joe has owned several businesses, including a skate shop and a pizza cooking school, and his diverse resume includes stints as a beekeeper and fourth grade teacher. He is world traveler and a real estate guru as well, and today he’s prepared to share how business practices translate to the world of Airbnb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joe also explains his Airbnb hosting philosophy, how he approaches guest communication, and his tips for providing a custom Airbnb experience. Listen and learn how to personalize the information you provide your guests, becoming a virtual tour guide who helps travelers get the most out of their trip!&lt;br /&gt;

• Add character (art, personal items)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

• Develop standard email for business travelers&lt;br /&gt;
• Think of yourself as ‘virtual tour guide’&lt;br /&gt;
• Anticipate guest needs and deliver before they ask&lt;br /&gt;
• Allow guests to be curious and explore your space&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joe’s take on greeting guests&lt;br /&gt;
• Someone should be there to shake hands, open door&lt;br /&gt;
• Co-host greets if he’s unavailable&lt;br /&gt;
• Provides personal connection that hotels lack&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Joe approaches communication with guests&lt;br /&gt;
• Response time should be minutes (not hours)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joe’s most memorable hosting experiences&lt;br /&gt;
• Mostly positive experiences, guests appreciate ‘character’&lt;br /&gt;
• German guests required much attention, broke shower – left cursory review&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>‘When you act out of fear, you shrink. When you act out of love, you grow.” –Tony Robbins&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Jasper turns 40 this week, he is considering how the world views strangers. Rather than assuming the unfamiliar to be a danger or a threat, what if we assumed the best in people until proven otherwise? After all, it only takes one common acquaintance to turn someone from a stranger to a friend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The birthday boy is joined by Margot Lee Schmorak, CEO and Co-founder of Hostfully, to discuss how such a positive outlook supports the Airbnb model. They also cover the top vacation rental headlines in the news this week, including a story about a listing touted as the most unusual Airbnb in Britain and a new augmented reality app that could further improve the guest experience with how-to videos specific to your Airbnb!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On a more serious note, Jasper and Margot offer the latest updates on regulations, as Paris joins London and San Francisco in requiring hosts to register with local authorities. And they wrap up with answers to listener questions about using Airbnb photos on multiple platforms and structuring listings for multiple bedrooms. Want your question answered on next week’s episode? Email Jasper at [email protected]!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

• Airbnb unlikely to object&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>If you have multiple listings on Airbnb, you might find a little-known feature called the Business Profile very useful. Today’s guest has three properties on the site – a house in Portugal, an apartment in Wellington, and a lifestyle property north of Wellington – and she is prepared to share the basics of the Business Profile as well as situations in which you might make use of it to grow your short-term rental business.&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Airbnb is tooting its own horn this week with the release of a report boasting the positive economic impacts of the platform in the US. The press release aligns with the company’s strategy to work with municipalities as they implement regulations on short-term rentals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hostfully Director of Marketing, Glenn Carter, joins Jasper this week to review the economic benefits outlined in the report as well as other upgrades to the platform in the news this week, including a pilot program that allows guests to split payments and a premium tier program designed to appeal to the luxury rental market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also discuss another startup in the space that is expanding its services as Pillow raises funds to launch a building management platform, and the story of a property owner in Barcelona who was forced to squat in her own flat! Finally, Jasper and Glenn answer your questions about cancelling bookings due to a family emergency. Don’t forget to email your questions to [email protected]!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Can Airbnb have its cake and eat it too?

<itunes:summary>Sleep tight. Don’t let the bed bugs bite!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Airbnb hosts, we share concerns around uninvited guests. If those uninvited guests are of the bed bug variety, a whole host of additional problems arise. Today’s guest dealt with a bed bug infestation in his Airbnb and lived to tell the tale!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hostfully Featured Host Mike Clairmont is a professional musician who loves to surf. Two years ago, he got the idea to rent a place on Venice Beach and list the property on Airbnb when he was touring. Within two weeks of posting his listing, Mike had more than half of the summer booked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike discovered the Get Paid for Your Pad book and podcast a few months ago, and has since used those resources to take his Airbnb to the next level. Today he shares his journey as an Airbnb host, including the harrowing chapter in which a bed bug infestation temporarily sidelined his business. Listen and learn how to prevent those pesky creatures from infiltrating your Airbnb, and get tips on choosing prime locations for Airbnb property investment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why Mike has had success with Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Good quality photos from beginning&lt;br /&gt;
• As traveler himself, knows what people look for&lt;br /&gt;
• Makes improvements based on reviews (i.e.: painting, carpet)&lt;br /&gt;
• Surfer theme, location one block from beach&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike’s bed bug ordeal&lt;br /&gt;
• Guest was bitten, sent message to Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb cancelled one week of reservations (no other penalties incurred)&lt;br /&gt;
• Mike found good company to spray&lt;br /&gt;
• Removed furniture, got new bedframe&lt;br /&gt;
• Put encasement around mattress&lt;br /&gt;
• Implemented preventative measures moving forward&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Mike is working to prevent further bed bug infestations&lt;br /&gt;
• Sends information to guests (e.g.: don’t put luggage on beds when travel, bed bugs expert hitchhikers)&lt;br /&gt;
• Provides luggage racks&lt;br /&gt;
• Vacuums thoroughly, empties bag after each guest&lt;br /&gt;
• Checks under/around bedframe, mattress every time&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mike’s advice for hosts who encounter bed bugs in their Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Proactively contact Airbnb to avoid penalties&lt;br /&gt;
• Allow the company to cancel reservations&lt;br /&gt;
• Keep Airbnb informed of measures taken&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper’s advice around investing in property for Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• US mortgage rates low, now is good time to buy&lt;br /&gt;
• Research regulations in place and anticipate changes&lt;br /&gt;
• Get familiar with rules in other large cities (i.e.: Paris, London, San Francisco)&lt;br /&gt;
• Consider locations where housing shortage not an issue (e.g.: Joshua Tree, CA)&lt;br /&gt;
• Take advantage of tools to predict returns (AirDNA, Everbooked, Mashvisor)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper’s take on regulations enforcement&lt;br /&gt;
• Even if city not enforcing now, may eventually&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb blocked calendar on property in Amsterdam to comply&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Welcome! Making people feel comfortable and accepted is a focus of Airbnb, and one of the initiatives aligned with this goal is the Open Homes platform. In an announcement this week, the company revealed its intention to house 100,000 refugees in the next five years – 35,000 in Greece alone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper welcomes Glenn Carter, Director of Marketing at Hostfully, to discuss the Open Homes announcement as well as Airbnb’s rollout of a new in-app tool for check-in. They also cover several stories of governments welcoming the economic boost Airbnb provides, while setting parameters regarding its use. Recent headlines include the legalization of Airbnb in Japan, very positive data out of Michigan, and new rules around short-term rentals in Toronto.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A new startup called Misterb&amp;b specifically welcomes LBGTQ guests, and our co-hosts debate the pros and cons of niche players fragmenting the market. Jasper and Glenn wrap up with a new Q&amp;A segment that welcomes questions from Airbnb hosts. Listen in to learn how you might convince hesitant family members to list on Airbnb, and how establishing a three-night minimum stay might affect your ranking in search results.

&lt;br /&gt;
Q2: I want to establish a three-night minimum stay for my listing. Will I be penalized in search results?&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb doesn’t directly ‘punish’ hosts who establish such parameters&lt;br /&gt;
• Will result in fewer bookings/reviews, which does impact position in search results&lt;br /&gt;
• Best to start out with no minimum and earn crucial early reviews&lt;br /&gt;
• Once build reputation, then consider establishing two- or three-night minimum&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>If you are looking to rent a property with the intention of being an Airbnb host, the question then becomes, how do you convince a landlord to allow for short-term rentals in your contract? Today’s guest is a veteran Airbnb host who is ready to share his strategy for securing negotiating power with property-owners, as well as other lessons he’s learned in his lengthy Airbnb hosting career.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roger Lee moved to Taipei in 2010 to assist with a property renovation project, converting a family home into studio apartments for rental. His ability to speak English gave him leverage as a property manager, securing short-term rentals through sites like Craigslist. With that experience under his belt, Roger set out on his own, renting properties that were candidates for renovation from willing landlords for short-term rental on Airbnb. He has worked his way up to nine listings, including his hip Taipei bachelor pad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Roger takes us on his journey to successful property management, sharing his advice for aspiring hosts, the lessons he’s learned after seven years of experience in the market, and his point of view regarding Airbnb’s place in the travel industry. Listen and learn how to convince property-owners to allow for short-term rentals – and how Roger uses this podcast as a sleep aid!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Roger got his start in property management&lt;br /&gt;
• Moved to Taipei in 2010&lt;br /&gt;
• Residential properties with multiple bedrooms being converted into studio apartments&lt;br /&gt;
• Helped friend with project, both renovation and rental&lt;br /&gt;
• Found short-term tenants on Craigslist and local sites&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Roger established negotiating power with landlords to allow for short-term rentals&lt;br /&gt;
• Selected run-down properties in need of investment&lt;br /&gt;
• Offered to renovate with stipulation that Airbnb would be allowed&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roger’s advice for aspiring property managers looking to rent units for Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Provide an upside for the landlord (e.g.: renovations)&lt;br /&gt;
• Understand the landlord’s relationship with neighbors&lt;br /&gt;
• Mitigate complications/controversy (older landlords don’t want any trouble)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roger’s greatest hosting challenge&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb’s introduction of Smart Pricing altered market&lt;br /&gt;
• Happened in conjunction with Chinese policy significantly reducing tourism to Taipei&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most significant lesson Roger has learned from Airbnb hosting&lt;br /&gt;
• Take the high road with unpleasant guests (even if it isn’t fair)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Roger’s take on the value of Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Best thing to happen to travel in his lifetime&lt;br /&gt;
• Ambitious and impressive to create culture of community&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Women who are potential Airbnb hosts may hesitate to join the platform due to safety concerns. The homesharing site’s non-discrimination policy doesn’t allow you to accept only female guests, but there are measures you can take to attract the type of person you feel comfortable sharing your home with.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kathleen Forest is a Superhost is the DC suburb of Arlington, Virginia. Since her listing went live in February of 2017, she has had much success and accrued 42 positive reviews. Because her husband is often traveling for work and she has two sons, Kathleen had concerns about listing a room in their family home on Airbnb, but she has developed strategies to set forth clear expectations and establish boundaries with guests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listen in as Kathleen shares the precautions she has taken to protect herself and her sons, her approach to the Instant Book feature, and her suggestions for hosts with children. Learn to design a listing that appeals to your ideal guest so that you feel comfortable and safe!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
How to attract your ideal guest&lt;br /&gt;
• Design listing to attract target audience (‘ideally suited to solo female travelers and couples’)&lt;br /&gt;
• Decorate specifically for that demographic&lt;br /&gt;
• Offer features that might appeal to ideal guest&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Precautions Kathleen has taken to protect herself and her sons&lt;br /&gt;

• ‘We’ language in communication with guests&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

• Decided to turn on, but set to approve guests without reviews&lt;br /&gt;
• Declines guests who make her uncomfortable&lt;br /&gt;
• Seeks additional info about guests without reviews (research social media, reach out to increase comfort level)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Kathleen establishes boundaries with guests&lt;br /&gt;
• Kid-friendly quiet hours (10p-6a)&lt;br /&gt;
• Explicitly stated rules (no illegal substances, no firearms, no unregistered guests)&lt;br /&gt;
• Advertises just room, rather than inviting guests to hang out in living room, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
• ‘Penguin’ reference to ensure guest read entire listing&lt;br /&gt;
• Keypad lock on front door alerts when people are in and out&lt;br /&gt;
• Keypad locks on all bedroom doors prevent theft, ensure safety&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unique aspects of Kathleen’s Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Guestbook in room&lt;br /&gt;
• Local tips for riding DC metro&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kathleen’s suggestions for hosts with children&lt;br /&gt;
• Get buy-in from your kids&lt;br /&gt;
• Explain benefits of necessary sacrifices&lt;br /&gt;
• Build in breaks from hosting&lt;br /&gt;
• Sit down and discuss if they push back&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kathleen’s general tips for Airbnb hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Start hosting and your niche will become apparent&lt;br /&gt;
• If you don’t like hosting or there isn’t enough demand, you can always stop&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>As the homesharing phenomenon grows, people continue to develop a variety of creative products and services that complement the work you do as an Airbnb host. A new app generates a floor plan for you through photos of your space, while another detects the number of mobile devices in use and alerts you if guests might be having a party!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is on the line with Hostfully Co-Founder and President David Jacoby to discuss a number of useful sites that make life easier for the savvy Airbnb host, many of which were represented at the recent HSDC Trade Fair in San Francisco. They also cover another aspect of the sharing economy that Airbnb hosts might be interested in using to upsell their guests, peer-to-peer car sharing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In other Airbnb news, a recent report pointed to exponential growth of vacation rentals in Spain, and Airbnb made an effort to generate positive press with an announcement regarding how much guests saved by booking on the platform (rather than with hotels) over the holiday weekend. Listen in as David and Jasper offer their takes on these stories and share the latest products and services in the homesharing ecosystem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Article #1: Airbnb Accuses Hotels of Price Gouging During Holiday Weekend&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb contends that guests saved $12M (in 21 cities analyzed)&lt;br /&gt;
• Attempt to generate positive media&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb’s Smart Pricing algorithm also designed to charge more when demand is high&lt;br /&gt;
• May not be fair to compare such different products&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Spain: Vacation Rentals Offering More Beds Than Hotels for the First Time&lt;br /&gt;
• Tracked 2016 statistics of 22 major cities&lt;br /&gt;

• By comparison, San Francisco totals have grown from 1,000-2,000 to 8,000-10,000 in last ten years (hotel beds went from 32,000-35,000 in same span)&lt;br /&gt;
• Huge growth in tourism industry has led to ‘tourist-phobia’&lt;br /&gt;
• Regulations in Barcelona seek to keep tourism numbers down (only private accommodations allowed)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homesharers Democratic Club Trade Fair in San Francisco&lt;br /&gt;
• Successful celebration of homesharing ecosystem&lt;br /&gt;
• Attended by 30-plus vendors&lt;br /&gt;
• Among a number of events organized by independent groups of hosts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: The Sharing Economy’s Entrepreneurial Ecosystems&lt;br /&gt;
• Video re: car sharing platform, Turo&lt;br /&gt;
• Car owners developing rental businesses w/ multiple vehicles&lt;br /&gt;
• Turo users earn average of $720/month&lt;br /&gt;

• More popular in Europe and Asia than North America&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Airbnb added some unusual listings that made news this week, including an ad agency that converted its office into a ‘spacious penthouse suite’ and the entire Swedish countryside. Yes, you read that right – the entire Swedish countryside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is joined by Hostfully CEO Margot Lee Schmorak to discuss those creative listings, both ad campaigns designed to draw attention to the best qualities of 1) The Swedish landscape, and 2) OH Partners (who are looking to fill Airbnb’s opening for an ad agency).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also review HomeAway’s lawsuit against the city of Chicago, discussing the potential for an alliance between Expedia and Airbnb in the fight against homesharing regulations, and an article that takes a comprehensive look at the homesharing ecosystem, outlining Airbnb’s evolution and how hotels are innovating to keep up. Listen in to learn why CNBC named Airbnb the #1 Disruptor of 2017!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>To diversify, or not to diversify, that is the question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Should you be listing on multiple platforms? Or is it better to stick with just one?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Richard Fertig is the host of Short Term Rental Secrets, a YouTube channel dedicated to building a community of short-term rental hosts who learn from each other’s experience. Richard is an entrepreneur and former Wall Street Hedgefunder who signed up for Airbnb four years ago. In that time, he has generated over $500,000 in income hosting his small portfolio of real estate investments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listen to understand the differences among Airbnb, HomeAway, VRBO and Booking.com. Richard also shares his experience with listing on multiple platforms, discussing the advantages of diversifying as well as the complications that can arise. This is a must-listen for hosts who are weighing the benefits of listing on more than one vacation rental site!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Airbnb is different from HomeAway/VRBO&lt;br /&gt;
• Superior user experience&lt;br /&gt;
• Focus on building community&lt;br /&gt;
• Mutual review of host/guest&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pricing structures of each platform&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb charges 3% fee for each reservation&lt;br /&gt;
• HomeAway employs a flat rate pricing model ($399/year)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The advantages of HomeAway/VRBO&lt;br /&gt;
• Long-time player in the vacation rental space (ski resorts, beach houses)&lt;br /&gt;
• More profitable than Airbnb if property located in popular tourist destination&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why Airbnb is the better choice for new hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• No risk&lt;br /&gt;
• 3 million Airbnb listings (vs. 1.2 million on HomeAway)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The case for sticking with only one platform&lt;br /&gt;
• Build strong reputation, credibility (Superhost status)&lt;br /&gt;
• If demand is high enough (80-90% occupancy), one platform is simpler&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The argument for diversification&lt;br /&gt;
• Don’t leave money on the table (higher occupancy)&lt;br /&gt;
• HomeAway typically generates more bookings for popular vacation destinations&lt;br /&gt;
• Safer to have several business partners (not beholden to single company)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How to avoid the complications of listing on multiple platforms&lt;br /&gt;
• Update and sync calendars on each platform&lt;br /&gt;
• If double-booking does occur, assist guest in finding accommodations&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The benefits of creating your own vacation rental website&lt;br /&gt;
• Functions as online business card&lt;br /&gt;
• Easier to share URL&lt;br /&gt;
• Increase in return customers&lt;br /&gt;
• Ability to post additional content (i.e.: videos)&lt;br /&gt;
• Builds reputation&lt;br /&gt;
• Guests book directly and avoid fees&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Booking.com’s short-term rental component&lt;br /&gt;
• Richard is testing site, will review on channel&lt;br /&gt;
• Serious short-term hosts recommend&lt;br /&gt;
• Guests more transactional (fewer questions, demands)&lt;br /&gt;
• Interface difficult to navigate&lt;br /&gt;
• Higher fees force hosts to raise rates&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Airbnb is learning the art of the deal, and the homesharing platform is all over the news this week for efforts to collaborate with local governments in Latin America, Japanese luxury resorts, and the city of San Francisco.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is chatting about these partnerships with none other than Hostfully VP of Strategic Partnerships, Nicole Prentice Williams.

&lt;br /&gt;
They also cover the story of a first-time Airbnb user who was scammed by a phony listing in Amsterdam as well as the details of the registration process for hosts in San Francisco.

• Need to remain transparent so guests realize booking hotel room&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>As hosts, we know that Airbnb is a ‘review game,’ and the cleanliness of your space plays a big role in scoring the highly coveted five-star review. Today’s guest is prepared to share several key strategies that will help Airbnb hosts keep their vacation rental spic and span.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neel Parekh is the CEO and Founder of MaidThis, a tech-enabled turnover service for short-term rentals based in California. The company provides top-notch, reliable cleaning services for Airbnb hosts via an online scheduling system. MaidThis cleaners are experienced in the short-term rental space, and they are trained to complete an inspection and damage report as needed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listen as Neel explains how to find reliable cleaners, train your staff, and select towels and bedding for your Airbnb. Surprise and delight your guests by meeting their expectations for an immaculate place to stay – and earn another superior review!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How to find a reliable cleaning staff&lt;br /&gt;
• Work with a professional service like MaidThis&lt;br /&gt;
• Search on platforms like Craigslist, Indeed or Yelp&lt;br /&gt;
• Hire a primary and backup, both trained on your unit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neel’s guidance for training your cleaner&lt;br /&gt;
• Customers expect hotel standards&lt;br /&gt;
• No food in the refrigerator and dishes put away&lt;br /&gt;
• Teach them to look for damages and restock supplies (kept in locked storage)&lt;br /&gt;
• Consider having them stay at Airbnb as a guest&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most important spaces in terms of cleanliness&lt;br /&gt;
• Professionally made beds with military tuck (first impression sets the tone)&lt;br /&gt;
• Pristine bathroom (toilet paper with sticker or folded end)&lt;br /&gt;
• Spotless kitchen&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neel’s advice about choosing colors for bedding and towels&lt;br /&gt;
• White sheets and towels look best, but cost more to wash/replace&lt;br /&gt;
• Light grey is a less expensive alternative&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neel’s suggestions re: laundry&lt;br /&gt;
• Guests will use everything you leave out&lt;br /&gt;
• Two towels per bed is sufficient for short stays&lt;br /&gt;
• Less time spent on laundry translates to fewer mistakes&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neel’s best tips for hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Vacation rental is a ‘review game’&lt;br /&gt;
• Don’t skimp on cleaning (lose money in the long run)&lt;br /&gt;
• A clean Airbnb leads to positive reviews and more bookings&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The MaidThis service&lt;br /&gt;
• Currently serves LA, Orange County, San Francisco and the Bay Area&lt;br /&gt;
• Flat rate based on the size of home, laundry included&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>As Airbnb hosts, we know that a well-written, conversational profile goes a long way in landing guests. But now there is science to back it up, and the research identifies specific language hosts can employ in their listings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hostfully Marketing Specialist Glenn Carter joins Jasper to discuss the research out of Cornell and Stanford that examined predictors of host choice. They also cover several other Airbnb headlines, including yet another acquisition, the company’s partnership with Hearst to launch a travel magazine, and an opinion piece arguing that the hotel and home sharing industries actually need each other!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listen in to learn about proposed legislation in New York that could boost Airbnb rentals as well as the creative accommodations many Airbnb hosts are listing on the platform, among them a charming treehouse in Canada!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Airbnb and Hotels Need Each Other, They Just Don’t Know It Yet&lt;br /&gt;
• Ongoing animosity between home sharing and hotel industries&lt;br /&gt;
• Hotel industry could learn from Airbnb’s focus on uniqueness of experience&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb could improve the ‘professionalizing of guest experience’&lt;br /&gt;
• Industries would benefit from partnership&lt;br /&gt;
• Hybrid platforms offer hotel services (i.e.: concierge, cleaning) to home share clients&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: ‘Beaches’ Treehouse a Hit on Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Couple converted kids’ treehouse into small studio&lt;br /&gt;
• 32 positive reviews on Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Doesn’t comply with city’s property standards by-law&lt;br /&gt;
• Other creative spaces (i.e.: boats, vans) listed on Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: Battle Over Airbnb Legislation Heats Up in Albany&lt;br /&gt;
• New bill seeks to legalize rentals under 30 days when host is away&lt;br /&gt;
• Could create boost in Airbnb rentals&lt;br /&gt;
• Share Better is opposed&lt;br /&gt;
• Flaws in argument re: affordable housing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: 3 Science-Backed Ways to Get Airbnb Users to Choose Your Listing&lt;br /&gt;
• Cornell and Stanford researchers studied how Airbnb profiles influence potential guests&lt;br /&gt;
• Perceived trustworthiness determined to be significant predictor of host choice&lt;br /&gt;
• Length, language and personal details influence perceived trustworthiness&lt;br /&gt;
• The concept of ‘know, like and trust’&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #5: Airbnb Teams with Hearst on Magazine Guided by Travel Site’s Data&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb provided access to data&lt;br /&gt;
• Articles based on those stats&lt;br /&gt;
• Travel magazine published twice a year (launch in May)&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>So you’ve planned a retreat for entrepreneurs and booked the Airbnb, but lack of interest forced you to cancel the event. Now it’s time to get creative and find a way to recoup the money you spent on accommodations. What if you listed the space on Airbnb yourself, and sublet it out to get your money back?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris Reynolds is the founder of Entrepreneur House, a business accelerator that holds events worldwide with the intent of creating a community where entrepreneurs can live together for four weeks, attending goal-setting and productivity workshops as well as taking part in advisor-led seminars and one-on-one coaching sessions. Chris has taken advantage of the Airbnb platform to book accommodations for Entrepreneur House retreats in Chiang Mai, Barcelona and Rio de Janeiro, and then sublet those bookings when they weren’t being used!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today, Chris shares the objectives of Entrepreneur House as well as his advice for Airbnb hosts. Listen in to learn how he was able to negotiate with a landlord who caught him subletting an Airbnb space illegally – and turn that potential conflict into a lucrative business partnership.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
Why Entrepreneur House was launched&lt;br /&gt;
• Business accelerator for established entrepreneurs&lt;br /&gt;
• Offers cultural experience through four-week retreats held all over the world&lt;br /&gt;
• Provides community and sense of belonging&lt;br /&gt;
• Leverage each other’s skills while mountain-biking, for example&lt;br /&gt;
• More productive than regular environment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Chris employs Airbnb for Entrepreneur House&lt;br /&gt;
• Uses platform to book accommodations for attendees (in advance and last minute)&lt;br /&gt;
• Sublets Airbnb when event is canceled or doesn’t need space for entire booking period&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Chris handled being caught by the landlord for subletting without permission&lt;br /&gt;
• Landlord discovered Airbnb listing and called meeting&lt;br /&gt;
• Chris explained intent to recoup loss as entrepreneur&lt;br /&gt;
• Landlord altered contract to allow for short-term rentals&lt;br /&gt;
• Chris partnered with owner of leasing company to book the following year&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dynamic around illegal activity in Barcelona&lt;br /&gt;
• Drinking on the street, graffiti and pot lounges are technically illegal, but rules not enforced&lt;br /&gt;
• Short-term rentals are illegal, but people continue without much fear of retribution&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris’s advice for Airbnb hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Include photos of all rooms (better pics = better bookings)&lt;br /&gt;
• Offer a flat screen TV (almost always indicates better quality)&lt;br /&gt;
• Put forth the time and effort to compose a thorough description for your listing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris’s guidance for dealing with a landlord if you’re listing your rental on Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Be clear about why you’re using the platform&lt;br /&gt;
• Enter negotiations with a proposal that will benefit you both&lt;br /&gt;
• If the landlord says ‘no,’ respect the fact that they control the property&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>One of the more frustrating aspect of international travel is cell access. Wi-Fi isn’t always available, and additional data plans can be costly. What do you do without access to maps and information? It can make for a harrowing experience in an unfamiliar place where you may or may not be able to communicate with the locals. Just ask Jasper about his trip to Moscow!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
David Jacoby, Co-founder and President of Hostfully, joins Jasper to discuss all of the ways that Airbnb is trying to do the right thing. To start, the company is developing a solution to the cell access problem, and their patent application made headlines this week. Airbnb is also working to make things right with regard to racial discrimination on the platform, as well as host non-compliance with regulations in the city of San Francisco.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to those stories, David and Jasper cover an organization that is most decidedly not concerned with doing the right thing. Listen in and learn about the misleading anti-Airbnb ad sponsored by Share Better DC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Airbnb is Trying to Solve This Irritating Problem for Travelers&lt;br /&gt;
• Patent submission for device geared toward travelers with no Wi-Fi or cell network access&lt;br /&gt;
• Would allow traveler to download trip info (i.e.: maps, messages, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
• Convenience for hosts of international travelers&lt;br /&gt;
• Evidence of Airbnb’s intention to expand beyond home stays&lt;br /&gt;
• Aligns with Chesky’s commitment to solve the problems of travel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Airbnb, HomeAway Reach Deal with San Francisco Over Registering Hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Ends lawsuit filed in June over rules imposing steep fines for unregistered hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• 2,100 hosts registered, 8,000 listings in the city&lt;br /&gt;
• Hosts will be able to register through the company websites (rather than in person)&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb will share information with the city for verification&lt;br /&gt;
• Goes into effect in eight months&lt;br /&gt;
• A significant drop in the number of listings is likely&lt;br /&gt;
• May have unintended consequences, e.g.: renters migrating to unregulated platforms, loss of tax revenue&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: Woman in Anti-Airbnb Ad Showing Anacostia is an Actress&lt;br /&gt;
• Misleading anti-Airbnb ad sponsored by Share Better DC&lt;br /&gt;
• Woman in commercial is an actor from NYC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: Airbnb Will Let California Screen Some Hosts for Racial Bias&lt;br /&gt;
• Agreement with California Department of Fair Employment and Housing&lt;br /&gt;
• DFEH will create fake accounts to see if host is complying with fair housing laws&lt;br /&gt;
• Screenings limited to hosts with three or more listings (6,000 of the 76,000 total)&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Whether you’re just getting started as an Airbnb host, or you’re looking to upgrade your status and pick up a few more five-star reviews, the Laptop Landlord is here to share some killer advice that will help you find the right guests for your property and provide high quality customer service during their stay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tyler Knutzen is an Airbnb host in Chicago who runs the Laptop Landlord website. He utilized Airbnb for the first time in 2012 as a grad student in Eugene, Oregon, during the US Olympic Trials. He realized that local hotels were overloaded, and living only seven minutes from campus made his place prime real estate. Looking to make extra money, he and his fiancé listed their home on Airbnb and hosted two sets of guests during the course of the event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a move to Chicago, Tyler forgot about Airbnb until he started looking for a side hustle to help pay off his student loans. He tried several other things before remembering just how easy it had been to set up a listing on Airbnb. Now he sets availability whenever he is going out of town, and his guests receive the benefit of his customer service background via clear communication. Today Tyler shares his best advice for Airbnb hosts, explaining how to identify your niche and why overcommunication is key in receiving five-star reviews.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How a background in customer service helped Tyler as an Airbnb host&lt;br /&gt;
• Quality communication with guests led to positive reviews early on&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tyler’s ‘opportunistic’ approach to Airbnb availability&lt;br /&gt;
• Set availability when you already plan on being gone&lt;br /&gt;
• Could also set availability for weekends, and do a free ‘staycation’ if listing is booked&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why Tyler created the Laptop Landlord website&lt;br /&gt;
• Compiled Airbnb hosting resources&lt;br /&gt;
• Wanted to share info, help other hosts plug into Airbnb ecosystem&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tyler’s 4 best tips for Airbnb hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Figure out who you are as a host, and create a listing that attracts the right guests&lt;br /&gt;
• Take time to set up your listing correctly with a specific headline and photo captions&lt;br /&gt;
• Be proactive with customer service and overcommunicate before, during and after the stay&lt;br /&gt;
• Perform hosting duties yourself before you delegate, outsource or automate&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Conventional wisdom tells us to ‘expect the unexpected,’ and Airbnb news certainly delivered this week, most notably when a guest in Los Angeles received a surprise visit from a SWAT team!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Margot Lee Shmorak, CEO and Co-founder of Hostfully, joins Jasper (our homeless host) to discuss that incident as well as the unexpected negative view of Airbnb presented by a few high-profile Democrats on the national stage in the US.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also cover the story of a couple who was pleasantly surprised by Airbnb’s new payment options as they planned their honeymoon trip, and an op-ed explaining why Airbnb’s growth in China is sluggish despite their best efforts. Listen in to understand why anything more than modest growth is unexpected in the Chinese market.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Hotel Industry Details Plans to Fight Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• High-profile Democrats raised concerns about Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Questioned housing costs, racial discrimination, and consumer protection and safety w/ FTC&lt;br /&gt;
• Accused Airbnb of evading local tax laws&lt;br /&gt;
• First time issue raised at national level&lt;br /&gt;
• Hotel lobby gave $1.3M to congressional candidates during past election cycle&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb spent $485,000 on lobbying in 2016&lt;br /&gt;
• Polarizing stance is surprising&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Why Airbnb’s China Expansion is Stumbling&lt;br /&gt;
• Name rebrand ‘Airbiying’ is awkward&lt;br /&gt;
• Homesharing not part of Chinese culture&lt;br /&gt;
• Only 19% motivated by social aspect&lt;br /&gt;
• Only 6.5% of Chinese trust strangers&lt;br /&gt;
• Price difference between Airbnb and hotels is much smaller&lt;br /&gt;
• Competition is much bigger&lt;br /&gt;
• Tujia boasts 10 times the number of listings&lt;br /&gt;
• Regulations make it difficult for foreign companies to do business&lt;br /&gt;
• The city of Paris has roughly the same number of Airbnb listings as all of China&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: Airbnb Guest Surprised by SWAT Team Looking for Fugitive&lt;br /&gt;
• New Yorker staying at Airbnb in Los Angeles&lt;br /&gt;
• Overwhelmed by officers looking for ‘Ashley’&lt;br /&gt;
• Shot video of the incident&lt;br /&gt;
• Nervous that local regulations might prohibit Airbnb, he initially claimed to know the fugitive&lt;br /&gt;
• Later admitted that he did not&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: Airbnb is Quietly Testing Flexible Payment Plans for Guests&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb is testing a feature that allows guests to put down a 50% deposit to reserve a luxury property&lt;br /&gt;
• Remaining balance is due two weeks prior to arrival&lt;br /&gt;
• Invented other systems in regions where paying with an international credit card isn’t an option, i.e.: Cuba and Brazil&lt;br /&gt;
• Demonstrates Airbnb’s willingness to experiment&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Is there something you’ve always wanted to try? Maybe it’s surfing, or nature photography, or even burlesque? It can be intimidating to seek out experiences like that on your own if you don’t know anyone in the scene.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Airbnb Experiences is designed to give guests an opportunity to try something extraordinary – with a welcoming expert host who can’t wait to share their city with you. Cat LaCohie, otherwise known as Vixen DeVille, is an Airbnb Experience host in Los Angeles who shares the world of burlesque with guests who are curious about the art form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Cat shares the process of developing an experience with Airbnb, the specifics of what’s involved in her one- and three-day experiences, and the advantages the program provides to travelers. And if you’re interested in becoming a host yourself, Cat offers invaluable advice regarding how to create a unique experience. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
The qualities the company is looking for in Airbnb Experience hosts&lt;br /&gt;

• Cat’s Yelp reviews spoke to her approach in working with others&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Airbnb’s initial approach in developing experiences&lt;br /&gt;
• Provide a range of activities&lt;br /&gt;
• Select interesting and fun hosts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How Airbnb provided support in developing each distinct experience&lt;br /&gt;
• Marketing copy&lt;br /&gt;
• Promotional photos, videos&lt;br /&gt;
• Hosts paid for time during beta testing (though experiences offered for free)&lt;br /&gt;
• Provided retainer for hosts to ensure availability during testing phase&lt;br /&gt;

• Day Two – class with Cat to learn burlesque technique&lt;br /&gt;
• Day Three – photo shoot with costumes&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Cat’s advice to potential Airbnb Experience hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Develop an experience that is linked to your passion&lt;br /&gt;
• Be sure you have an ‘in’ (share your world/network)&lt;br /&gt;
• Be flexible and adapt to your guests’ requests&lt;br /&gt;
• Interact and show interest in your guests&lt;br /&gt;
• Choose activities that a visitor would NOT know about (rather than what’s ‘popular’)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The financial aspects of hosting an experience&lt;br /&gt;
• Cat’s one-day experience costs $99 for four hours&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb receives 20%&lt;br /&gt;
• Cat’s expenses include show tickets, drinks, photographer/makeup artist fees&lt;br /&gt;
• The more people participating, the more lucrative&lt;br /&gt;
• One person doing one-day experience, only $30 profit&lt;br /&gt;
• Six people, as much as $500 profit in one night&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>You’ve got to keep ‘em regulated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This seems to be the hotel industry’s sentiment toward Airbnb, as revealed in documents obtained by the New York Times this week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is joined by Glenn Carter, Hostfully Marketing Specialist, to chat about the American Hotel and Lodging Association’s formal plan to rein in Airbnb, as well as a new UBS report suggesting that regulations have slowed the growth of Airbnb in some of the company’s most popular markets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also cover the lawsuit Airbnb is bringing against the city of Miami for targeting hosts who spoke at a city commission meeting, and corporate travel policies around homesharing. Listen in to find out what amenities attract business travelers and how corporations can benefit from allowing for the use of platforms like Airbnb when employees travel for work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Inside the Hotel Industry’s Plan to Combat Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• American Hotel and Lodging Association’s action plan to combat Airbnb revealed&lt;br /&gt;
• Took credit for Federal Trade Commission’s housing cost investigation and steep fines in NY&lt;br /&gt;
• Hotel industry argues that Airbnb drives up housing costs and hurts the middle class&lt;br /&gt;
• The numbers disprove that claim as majority of hosts have only one listing&lt;br /&gt;
• No proof of causal relationship between rising home prices and Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Corporate Travel Still Doesn’t Get Homesharing Despite Business Traveler Use&lt;br /&gt;
• A mere 17% of corporate travel policies allow business travelers to stay at homesharing properties&lt;br /&gt;
• Some business travelers unaware of company policy, utilize homesharing regardless&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb caters to business travelers with select amenities&lt;br /&gt;
• Flexibility and affordability likely to attract more business travelers to Airbnb moving forward&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: Airbnb Sues Miami After City Targets Speakers at Recent Meeting&lt;br /&gt;
• City of Miami targeted five Airbnb hosts who spoke at city commission meeting&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb filed lawsuit against city for violation of First Amendment rights&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb argues that hosts had the right to speak without fear of retribution&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb has shown willingness to cooperate with other cities&lt;br /&gt;
• Strange that Miami would instigate conflict and bring about negative PR&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: Regulation is Slowing Growth in Some of Airbnb’s Most Popular Markets&lt;br /&gt;
• UBS report suggests that regulations have had a negative impact on Airbnb’s business&lt;br /&gt;
• Listings in Airbnb’s seven largest markets still grew 40% year over year&lt;br /&gt;
• Declines noted in NYC and Barcelona, where strict legislation has been enacted&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb looking to grow in other hospitality niches until revenue from homesharing accounts for less than half of the company’s total&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Everyone loves a good party… Unless of course, that party happens in your Airbnb without your knowledge or consent!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all hope that our guests will be respectful of our possessions and our space, and the vast majority of Airbnb users are good people who do just that. But every now and then a bad apple comes along, and it is a good idea to be aware of Airbnb’s resolution process and think through how you might handle a negative situation should it ever arise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alice is an Airbnb Superhost who manages Talon Resort, a private mountain home in Tennessee, and lives there when it is not booked. After a weekend rental that was supposed to be for five people, she returned to find evidence that a keg party had taken place in her home. Worse yet, several of her possessions were missing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listen in as Alice shares her story and offers advice regarding how to handle such difficult situations in a professional manner – and better yet, how to spot the warning signs in advance and avoid a problem altogether!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

• Guest failed to respond&lt;br /&gt;
• Alice had to write additional report and get estimates of damage&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Airbnb was in the headlines for the wrong reasons this week, as an Asian-American guest was stranded by a vicious host who offered race as the reason for the last-minute cancellation. Despite Airbnb’s best efforts to combat discrimination via changes to the platform, the issue continues to plague the company.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Jasper chats with Nicole Prentice Williams, VP of Strategic Partnerships at Hostfully, about the adjustments Airbnb has made to create an unbiased environment and whether those changes go far enough. They also cover the governor’s race in California, and the big donations Airbnb employees are making to a certain candidate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listen and learn about the currency conversion fee Airbnb guests are facing as well as the gear you need to outfit your vacation rental. Want that coveted five-star review? Provide your Airbnb guests with these amenities!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: ‘One Word Says It All – Asian’: Airbnb Host Reportedly Leaves Guest Stranded Because of Her Race&lt;br /&gt;
• Guest booked property near Big Bear, California, for ski trip&lt;br /&gt;
• Reservation canceled upon arrival&lt;br /&gt;
• Host texted outrageous, racist comments as explanation&lt;br /&gt;
• Emotional guest interviewed by local news crew&lt;br /&gt;
• Host banned from the platform&lt;br /&gt;
• Timing of video release (six weeks later) seems odd&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: How Airbnb’s Redesign Aims to Combat Discrimination on the Service&lt;br /&gt;
• Instant Book feature&lt;br /&gt;
• Removal of host pics in search results&lt;br /&gt;
• Profile photos of guests and hosts minimized&lt;br /&gt;
• Critics suggest suppression of photos until booking is complete&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb counters that photos are important for security, culture&lt;br /&gt;
• Hosts rely on photos to help make informed decisions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: The Best Gear to Outfit a Vacation Rental or Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Offers 24-item checklist&lt;br /&gt;
• Provide better experience for guests (comparable to hotel)&lt;br /&gt;
• Includes mattress and pillow protectors for the bedroom&lt;br /&gt;
• Recommends quality towels, hair dryer and clean shower liner for bath&lt;br /&gt;
• Suggests Wi-Fi extender&lt;br /&gt;
• Little things like a bottle opener and better toilet paper make a big difference&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: Newsom Raises Most for Governor’s Race, With Boost from Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Progressive former mayor of San Francisco&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb employees have donated more than $200,000 to his campaign&lt;br /&gt;
• Other candidates report largest single-source contributions under $100,000&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #5: People are Really Annoyed About Airbnb’s ‘Hidden’ 3% Conversion Fee&lt;br /&gt;
• Guests who book in a country with a different currency must pay 3% fee&lt;br /&gt;
• Credit card company typically charges this conversion fee&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb likely saw an opportunity to make money by doing conversion themselves&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>The beauty of Airbnb is the trust people place in each other, allowing strangers to stay in their homes and sharing their space – and often their lives. Comedians are in the business of studying people and learning their stories, and today’s guest was fascinated by the concept of home sharing and curious to understand why people choose to host.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is chatting with Greg Schwem, a business humorist, corporate comedian, and syndicated columnist. He often travels for work, so Greg started adding an extra day to his trips and booking an Airbnb with an interesting profile. With their permission, he films a segment with each host and posts to his YouTube channel, A Comedian Walks into an Airbnb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listen in as Greg shares his unique Airbnb experiences, including a stay on an air mattress in a Volkswagen van and a trip to Miami Beach hosted by a ‘stripper turned house flipper.’&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
How Greg chooses an Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Interesting profile&lt;br /&gt;
• Extraordinary location/circumstances&lt;br /&gt;
Greg’s unique experiences&lt;br /&gt;
• Row house in DC&lt;br /&gt;
• Volkswagen van in Vail&lt;br /&gt;
• Carriage house in Tulsa&lt;br /&gt;
• Trendy loft in Chicago&lt;br /&gt;

• Former exotic dancer&lt;br /&gt;
• Hosts property in Miami Beach&lt;br /&gt;
• Career in real estate led to Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Owned rock and roll paraphernalia store&lt;br /&gt;
• Very open about her past&lt;br /&gt;
How Greg approaches video production&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb host is the star&lt;br /&gt;
• His job is to get them talking&lt;br /&gt;
Why Greg is particularly suited to host an Airbnb-themed channel&lt;br /&gt;
• Background in television news&lt;br /&gt;
• Open to staying anywhere&lt;br /&gt;
• Age adds a degree of humor (at 54, he’s often out of his element)&lt;br /&gt;
• Interest in people and their stories&lt;br /&gt;
Greg’s plans for his channel moving forward&lt;br /&gt;
• Continue to seek out interesting Airbnb hosts/experiences (i.e.: flea market shopping in Texas)&lt;br /&gt;
• Pursue slot on a streaming video or network channel&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>As the trend toward instant bookings continues, the Airbnb platform becomes more user-friendly for guests. But what does that mean for you as a host? The policies around cancellations can be confusing, and hosts who prefer the strict cancellation policy operate under a different set of rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hostfully President David Jacoby joins Jasper this week to cover the pros and cons of using Instant Book as Airbnb steers its hosts toward that option. They also chat about the recent incidence of theft in Toronto and Airbnb’s response, as well as the latest news about Airbnb’s growth – which may not be as disruptive as people think!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listen and learn about upcoming home-sharing trade shows and conferences on the west coast and the different types of insurance policies you may want to consider – if you are using platforms other than Airbnb. And if you didn’t catch Airbnb’s April Fool’s joke, David and Jasper will hook you up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Instant Booking Becomes the Big Metric for Airbnb and Vacation Rentals&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb instant booking availability has grown from 460,000 in the first quarter of 2016 to nearly 1M today&lt;br /&gt;
• Hosts who use Instant Book may cancel penalty-free three times&lt;br /&gt;
• All Booking.com listings are instantly bookable&lt;br /&gt;
• New Airbnb system currently being tested in Italy&lt;br /&gt;
• Service fees higher for hosts using strict cancellation policy&lt;br /&gt;
• Instant Book seeks to decrease discrimination on the platform&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Airbnb Fully Reimburses Man Who Had $21K Worth of Items Stolen by Guests&lt;br /&gt;
• An iPad and two iPhones were among the stolen items&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb does have insurance, but other platforms do not&lt;br /&gt;
• Select policies carefully, considering both liability and coverage for contents/damages&lt;br /&gt;
• Deliberate between replacing your current policy or adding a rider&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: Airbnb’s Growth Soars: Senior Women are Fastest-Rising Demographic of Home-Sharing Hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• 151% growth in Nevada&lt;br /&gt;
• Despite growth, hospitality industry doing well&lt;br /&gt;
• Affordability of Airbnb creates additional travel demand&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: Airbnb Might Not Be So Disruptive After All&lt;br /&gt;
• HomeAway is keeping up&lt;br /&gt;
• Many hosts list on multiple platforms&lt;br /&gt;
• Allowing short-term rentals can benefit landlords&lt;br /&gt;
• Hosts willing to pay extra&lt;br /&gt;
• Property well-maintained&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Airbnb’s mission statement asserts that one can “belong anywhere.” But because of the company’s disruption of the travel industry, some cities have implied that Airbnb itself is unwelcome – through strict regulations and ongoing legal battles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This week in the news, we see evidence that Airbnb is finding new ways to work with city governments and nonprofits to both improve their image and impact social change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is joined by Hostfully’s Head of Marketing, Silvia Li, to discuss Airbnb’s partnership with the city of San Francisco to combat homelessness. They also cover the company’s efforts to diversify beyond their core product as they expand into other areas of the travel space, specifically exploring the Airbnb Trips product. Listen and learn how Experiences hosts feel about the ‘experience’ thus far… And find out about Jasper’s submission to host a tour in Amsterdam!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Airbnb Teams Up with SF Giants to Help Homeless Families&lt;br /&gt;
• Donate $1,000 for every home run scored by team&lt;br /&gt;
• Hamilton Families Center as beneficiary&lt;br /&gt;
• 1,145 homeless families in the city (1,800 children)&lt;br /&gt;
• Goal to place 800 families in homes by 2019&lt;br /&gt;
• Mends relationship with city&lt;br /&gt;
• Supports social impact aspect of Airbnb mission&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: This is What Airbnb Trips Hosts Really Think of Airbnb’s Newest Product&lt;br /&gt;
• Trips is part of effort to diversify (in response to investors)&lt;br /&gt;
• Smart to add service to platform for travelers&lt;br /&gt;
• Experiences are extremely curated&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb supporting hosts with branding, marketing and ad $&lt;br /&gt;
• 800 Experiences available to book (up 60% since November)&lt;br /&gt;
• 59% of bookings in San Francisco were made by locals&lt;br /&gt;
• Homes product will eventually account for less than half of revenue&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>New York is known as the city that never sleeps. But if you are an Airbnb host there, you may be losing sleep over the state’s anti-Airbnb crusade and complicated short-term rental regulations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today Jasper is on the line with Brendan MacKenzie, the founder of MetroButler, a short-term management company in New York. His background in law and familiarity with the Airbnb ecosystem make him the perfect candidate to explain what you need to know about the Multiple Dwelling Law and how it affects hosts in the Big Apple.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond clarifying the laws around short-term rentals, Brendan breaks down the pros and cons of the city’s hardline approach as well as the opportunities NYC is missing out on by discounting Airbnb’s benefits. Listen in to understand New York’s housing crisis and how the city might compromise with Airbnb to help – rather than hinder – the housing market!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
New York’s Multiple Dwelling Law&lt;br /&gt;
• Applies to Class A buildings&lt;br /&gt;
• Restricts from renting for fewer than 30 days if host isn’t present&lt;br /&gt;
• Designed to discourage commercial operators&lt;br /&gt;
• Amended in recent months to prohibit advertising (w/ fines of up to $7500 per infraction)&lt;br /&gt;
Negative aspects of the Multiple Dwelling Law&lt;br /&gt;
• Though the intention is to go after bad actors, it applies to a large number of hosts who are not commercial operators&lt;br /&gt;
• Without an education campaign, many are unfamiliar with the Class A distinction&lt;br /&gt;
• Might end up driving people out of their homes without Airbnb to help make ends meet&lt;br /&gt;
Why New York is taking such a hardline approach&lt;br /&gt;
• Commercial operators take properties off the market&lt;br /&gt;
• Pressure from the hotel lobby&lt;br /&gt;
Common sense compromises that would benefit the city&lt;br /&gt;
• Applying a nominal tax would generate revenue to build affordable housing&lt;br /&gt;
• Working with Airbnb to enforce the One Host, One Home policy&lt;br /&gt;
The benefits of embracing Airbnb in New York City&lt;br /&gt;
• Brings travelers who would not be able to afford a hotel&lt;br /&gt;
• Allows for a more efficient use of resources&lt;br /&gt;
• Provides a source of additional income for struggling artists, freelancers, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
• Creates jobs in the Airbnb ecosystem (cleaning services, contractors, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
The MetroButler service&lt;br /&gt;
• Serves the New York metro area&lt;br /&gt;
• Provides “boots on the ground” for hosts while they travel&lt;br /&gt;
• Full Service option for a 25% commission&lt;br /&gt;
• Lite Service a-la-carte offerings (key exchanges, sheet rentals, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>As Airbnb continues to grow and pursue its ambition of becoming the Superbrand of Travel, changes in the company’s model are sure to follow. On some fronts, Airbnb seems committed to maintaining the hands-off, platform-only approach to business in the sharing economy. Yet in other areas, they are taking a more proactive approach that allows the company more control over the guest experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is joined by Deanna Ting, Hospitality Editor for Skift, and David Jacoby, CEO and Co-founder of Hostfully, to discuss Airbnb’s pursuit of world domination in the travel space. Their round-table discussion delves into the company’s ongoing legal issues and how recent acquisitions point to a shift in the company’s tactics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listen in to learn how you can stay on top of what’s happening in the travel industry as well as the specifics of Airbnb’s evolving approach to business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
Airbnb’s Legal Issues&lt;br /&gt;
• Cities more cognizant of complications that can arise with Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Company seems to have different response in Europe vs. US&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb assisting with enforcement of regulations in London and Amsterdam&lt;br /&gt;
• Partnership with Chicago shares host info with city, but raises privacy concerns&lt;br /&gt;
Airbnb Experiences&lt;br /&gt;
• On brand&lt;br /&gt;
• Unlikely to match success of home product&lt;br /&gt;
• Anyone can apply, but tour guides hand-selected by Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb involved in building itinerary&lt;br /&gt;
Airbnb Acquisitions&lt;br /&gt;
• Luxury Retreats indicates an intention to gain more control of guest experience&lt;br /&gt;
• Tilt technology is a good fit to allow for ease of payment for groups&lt;br /&gt;
The future of Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Continued pursuit of Travel Superbrand status&lt;br /&gt;
• Addition of flights, complementary services&lt;br /&gt;
• Persistent regulatory issues&lt;br /&gt;
• IPO in 2018 or later&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>This week on the podcast, Jasper has a conversation with Brian Chen, lead consumer technology writer for the New York Times and Airbnb Superhost. Brian’s cabin in northern California has been a lucrative business investment, though he has had some surprising experiences with Airbnb guests – and not in a good way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brian shares a few horror stories about guests who engaged in illegal activity and how Airbnb responded through the dispute resolution process. Listen to find out what lessons Brian has learned from his negative hosting experiences!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
Brian’s Wedding Guests&lt;br /&gt;
• Guest with no reviews booked for a group of 8&lt;br /&gt;
• Neighbors informed Brian of 50 wedding guests and caterers entering his home&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb assisted in canceling the reservation after guest denied breaking house rules (despite photographic evidence)&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb’s dispute resolution center helped Brian get a portion of the $100/person penalty built into his house rules for exceeding 8 people&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb’s ruling disproportionately favored the guest&lt;br /&gt;
The lessons Brian learned from hosting ‘bad eggs’&lt;br /&gt;
• Protect yourself by establishing strict house rules&lt;br /&gt;
• Be diligent in screening potential guests&lt;br /&gt;
• Document as much as possible&lt;br /&gt;
• Consider taking ‘before’ photos of expensive items&lt;br /&gt;
The Cocaine Story&lt;br /&gt;
• Brian booked seemingly trustworthy guest with good reviews&lt;br /&gt;
• Group broke the dishwasher and left trash, including evidence of illegal drug use&lt;br /&gt;
• Due to thorough documentation, Brian was able to collect for all damages&lt;br /&gt;
The shortcomings of the Airbnb dispute resolution process&lt;br /&gt;
• Little recourse for illegal activity&lt;br /&gt;
• Lack of urgency in addressing disputes&lt;br /&gt;
• Seem to be proactive only when media gets involved in a conflict&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>It was a quiet news week for Airbnb, though the themes of acquisitions, group travel and regulations remain top of mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This week, Jasper chats with Margot Schmorak, CEO and Co-Founder of Hostfully. They deliberate Airbnb’s recent acquisition of micropayments platform Tilt as well as an interesting perspective on regulations that appeared on BaconsRebellion.com this week.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Margot also covers her recent Airbnb experiences in Hawaii, offering feedback to hosts regarding consistency and responsiveness, and Jasper shares a recent investment that will make his international travels easier – and more exclusive!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Airbnb Buys Tilt, Signaling Its Growing Interest in Group Travel&lt;br /&gt;
• Micropayment platform that had early success on college campuses&lt;br /&gt;
• Tilt talent now part of Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Indicates a plan to enter the group travel space&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Just a Thought: Instead of Extending Regs to Airbnb Rentals, Let’s Roll Back Regs on Hotels&lt;br /&gt;
• The hotel lobby argues that Airbnb should be subject to the same regulations&lt;br /&gt;
• Due to sites like Yelp, some of these consumer protections may be obsolete&lt;br /&gt;
• Author suggests a review and reduction of the current regulations&lt;br /&gt;
Margot’s Feedback for Airbnb Hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Consider interviewing your guests to find out what stood out&lt;br /&gt;
• Highlight what differentiates you in the listing title&lt;br /&gt;
• Be sure the information you provide guests is accurate&lt;br /&gt;
• It is better to under-promise and overdeliver than to create unrealistic expectations&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper’s New Membership in JetSmarter&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb for private jets&lt;br /&gt;
• Unlimited flights for $15,000 annual membership&lt;br /&gt;
• Less hassle at the airport&lt;br /&gt;
• Worthwhile for travelers who take several international flights per year&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>This week, Jasper is chatting with Marc Figueras, the CEO and Co-founder of KeyNest, a smart key exchange service with a network of locations across London where Airbnb hosts and property managers can securely store their keys.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Marc explains the specifics of the regulations particular to London as well as the options available to Airbnb hosts in the face of these newly enforced restrictions. Find out more about how Airbnb’s image has affected the rules and what you can do to stay on the right side of the law!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
How Parliament changed the rules in January 2015&lt;br /&gt;
• Allowed for short-term lets without planning permission&lt;br /&gt;
• Limited to 90 nights per calendar year&lt;br /&gt;
Airbnb’s self-enforcement&lt;br /&gt;
• The rules haven’t been enforced because it was up to local councils&lt;br /&gt;
• Hotel lobbies have pressed the new mayor&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb agreed to self-enforce, but only for those hosts who are renting out an entire home&lt;br /&gt;
• When the restrictions go live this spring, the Airbnb site will no longer allow bookings after the counter on a listing hits the 90-day limit&lt;br /&gt;
The legal options for Airbnb hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Sell and move to a different market&lt;br /&gt;
• Initiate the long and costly process of changing your permission from residential to commercial&lt;br /&gt;
• Host for fewer than 90 days&lt;br /&gt;
• Pursue long-term lets of 91-plus days&lt;br /&gt;
The danger of circumventing the rules&lt;br /&gt;
• Though listing on different platforms is an option, it is still illegal&lt;br /&gt;
• Listing an entire house as a private room or creating new Airbnb accounts may result in having your account banned&lt;br /&gt;
• Hosts are dependent on the platform for customers, so damaging that relationship is unwise&lt;br /&gt;
How Airbnb’s image can be restored&lt;br /&gt;
• Return to the original model of private residents using the platform to make extra income and meet new people&lt;br /&gt;
• The community itself must be vocal about the positive aspects of the service&lt;br /&gt;
The KeyNest service&lt;br /&gt;
• Network of cafes and convenience stores for secure key drop-off&lt;br /&gt;
• 35 London locations&lt;br /&gt;
• £5.95/key collection or £14.95/month&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Airbnb’s growth is in the news this week, and acquisitions are in the air. Having only spent $300 million of the $3 billion raised, Airbnb has capital available. And they will have to invest in order to facilitate the growth necessary to reach the publicized goal of $3 billion in profit by 2020.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper is joined by Hostfully Growth Guru, Silvia Li Sam, to discuss acquisitions that are already being negotiated as well as their suggestions for possible purchases. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper and Silvia cover the latest lawsuit against Airbnb as well, filed by apartment management company Aimco.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
Article #1: Airbnb’s Profits to Top $3 Billion by 2020&lt;br /&gt;
• Ambitious but possible&lt;br /&gt;
• Vertical acquisitions may facilitate growth&lt;br /&gt;
Article #2: Airbnb is Buying Luxury Retreats for Around $200M&lt;br /&gt;
• Focus on high-end homes&lt;br /&gt;
• $1,000/night or more&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb will attain team and technology&lt;br /&gt;
• Likely to occupy a separate section of the Airbnb site&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: Airbnb is in Talks to Acquire Social Payments Startup Tilt&lt;br /&gt;
• Technology for group purchases is a good fit&lt;br /&gt;
• Paying significantly less than last valuation of $400M&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper and Silvia’s Suggestions for Potential Airbnb Investments&lt;br /&gt;
• Expand further into the travel space with airline aggregator&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb’s quality user experience could compete with sites like Expedia and Kayak&lt;br /&gt;
• Flightfox and Airwander assist in booking multi-city trips&lt;br /&gt;
• Eventually, Airbnb could recommend flights, accommodations and experiences&lt;br /&gt;
Article #4: A Big Apartment Management Company is Suing Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
• Suit accuses Airbnb of deliberately incentivizing people to breach their leases&lt;br /&gt;
• Aimco will have to prove monetary loss&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Jasper talks with Peter, the host of Clyde River Cottage in southern Australia. With a background in the hospitality business, Peter is well-versed in providing guests with a quality experience and marketing to travelers both directly and through third-party platforms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peter shares the advantages of diversifying your Airbnb business and discusses how he uses the Triple Wow Factor to procure five-star reviews. Listen and learn when it’s beneficial to post your listing on multiple platforms – or perhaps even create your own website!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Topics Covered&lt;br /&gt;
How Airbnb clients differ from other travelers&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb guests are buying an experience&lt;br /&gt;
• Most are looking to be a part of a community&lt;br /&gt;
The benefits of sticking with a single platform&lt;br /&gt;
• Allows you to build a strong reputation&lt;br /&gt;
• Keeps things simple (no chance of double-booking)&lt;br /&gt;
The disadvantages of using just one platform&lt;br /&gt;
• Miss out on demand provided by other marketplaces&lt;br /&gt;
• Can be risky to put all your eggs in one basket&lt;br /&gt;
Why Peter utilizes multiple platforms&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb alone doesn’t provide enough demand to reach full occupancy in smaller markets&lt;br /&gt;
• Clients who don’t trust Airbnb still have access to his listing&lt;br /&gt;
• A Google search for accommodations in his area will pop three different results that lead to his listing&lt;br /&gt;
The advantages of having your own website&lt;br /&gt;
• Opportunities for promotion (i.e.: YouTube video links, blog, newsletter for past guests)&lt;br /&gt;
• Clients who prefer to deal directly with a host have access to your listing&lt;br /&gt;
How to prevent/manage double-bookings&lt;br /&gt;
• Immediately remove your listing from other platforms when you receive a booking&lt;br /&gt;
• Make connections with other Airbnb hosts in your area and offer referrals to guests who were double-booked, waiving the price difference&lt;br /&gt;
• Avoid cancellations on Airbnb; you will lose your Superhost status&lt;br /&gt;
Peter’s secret to five-star reviews, the Triple Wow Factor&lt;br /&gt;
1. Clean, comfortable accommodations&lt;br /&gt;
2. Recommendations for local experiences (coffee shops, restaurants, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
3. Welcoming, available hosts&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Jasper talks with Kevin the Financial Panther, an Airbnb superhost and expert side hustler. Kevin is a lawyer who has capitalized on the sharing economy to pay off $87,000 worth of student loans in just two and a half years!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

• “Your house will never be cleaner”&lt;br /&gt;
How targeting a specific audience makes hosting easier&lt;br /&gt;
• Consider who is likely to book with you based on location&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>In November of 2015, Airbnb Global Policy Chief Chris Lehane announced the bold goal of forming 100 home sharing clubs in 2016. Today, a global network of 112 of these advocacy organizations fight regulatory battles and engage in partnerships with small businesses to enrich the local economy and culture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On this episode of the podcast, Jasper is joined by Emery Lieberman, Airbnb’s Global Home Sharing Clubs Mobilization Program Manager, and David Jacoby, CEO and Co-founder of Hostfully, to discuss how the company was able to reach the ambitious aim of establishing 100 organizations in a year, the role they play in their communities and the clubs that have celebrated particular success in fighting regulations – by telling their stories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They also cover Airbnb’s statement-making Super Bowl commercial highlighting the company’s commitment to inclusiveness. Find how Airbnb took a big stand on a big stage!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the topics covered&lt;br /&gt;
Airbnb Community vs. Airbnb Citizen Clubs&lt;br /&gt;
• The community is an online platform where hosts connect and ask general questions&lt;br /&gt;
• Clubs are specific to a given city and focus on location-specific public policy issues and philanthropic projects&lt;br /&gt;
The Role of Home Sharing Clubs Around the World&lt;br /&gt;
• Gives hosts a voice in the political sphere&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb provides resources, but clubs are led by hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Allows hosts the opportunity to educate communities and partner with other small businesses&lt;br /&gt;
The Journey to Establishing 100 Clubs&lt;br /&gt;
• Many were organizing already&lt;br /&gt;
• In cities with multiple hosts, leaders were identified and offered resources to create their own vision&lt;br /&gt;
• Hosts want to feel connected to a support system&lt;br /&gt;
Home Sharing Club Success Stories&lt;br /&gt;
• Defeat of Prop F in San Francisco&lt;br /&gt;
• Advocacy in Barcelona&lt;br /&gt;
• The power of storytelling in New Orleans&lt;br /&gt;
Airbnb’s Political Super Bowl Ad&lt;br /&gt;
• CEO Brian Chesky has criticized Trump’s travel ban&lt;br /&gt;
• The ad’s #weaccept aligns with Airbnb’s mission of creating a world where anyone can belong&lt;br /&gt;

Jasper is joined by Margot Schmorak, CEO and Co-founder of Hostfully, to discuss the details of Airbnb’s response to the executive order and tech executives speaking out against the policy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In other news, Jasper and Margot cover Airbnb’s milestone in becoming profitable in the second half of 2016, a complementary service (Traveling Spoon) that offers travelers a meaningful cultural experience, and Jasper’s personal update regarding an exciting new investment.&lt;br /&gt;

Some of the topics covered&lt;br /&gt;

• Airbnb will subsidize the cost in locations where free housing is unavailable&lt;br /&gt;

• Success attributed to growth and lack of competition&lt;br /&gt;

• Offers home-cooked meals and cooking classes with the best home cooks around the world&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This week Jasper is joined by Silvia Li, Head of Marketing at Hostfully, to discuss what impact the Trump administration will have on Airbnb corporate as well as Airbnb hosts around the world. Some of what Trump has said and done might hurt Airbnb while some might help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also discussed is Professional Airbnb Investors and their impact on the market, Airbnb’s impact on the hotel industry and the one gadget that solves Airbnb hosts’ “biggest problem”.&lt;br /&gt;

Article #1: How will Uber, Lyft and Airbnb fare under Trump?&lt;br /&gt;
• What might hurt:&lt;br /&gt;
o Deteriorating relationship with China&lt;br /&gt;
o Trump’s conflict of interest as a hotel owner&lt;br /&gt;

o Account for 1/3 of revenue&lt;br /&gt;
• Regulatory uncertainty is holding real estate companies back&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article #3: How hard has Airbnb hit hotels? It’s not as bad as they thought&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>Jasper is joined by Dirk Minnebo, Founder of Iamb&amp;b which is the largest short term rental management company in Amsterdam! Dirk’s company manages listings in both Amsterdam and Paris and he brings some valuable knowledge to this interview on the topic of optimizing your listing and creating a great experience for your guests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As many of you know, Airbnb is now limiting the number of nights a year hosts can rent out their place in Amsterdam, but surprisingly Dirk says this will help instead of hurt his business. Tune in for a great interview!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the topics covered&lt;br /&gt;
Background of Iamb&amp;b&lt;br /&gt;
• Largest short term rental management company in Amsterdam&lt;br /&gt;
• Founded by Dirk In 2014&lt;br /&gt;
• Manages 800 listings in Amsterdam and 100 in Paris&lt;br /&gt;
Recent Airbnb enforcement of rental restrictions&lt;br /&gt;
Why the restrictions will actually help Iamb&amp;b&lt;br /&gt;
Why Airbnb is stepping up regulation enforcement&lt;br /&gt;
Dirk’s advice to Airbnb hosts&lt;br /&gt;
• Be honest about your listing (mention the faults)&lt;br /&gt;
• Remember that what is “normal” in your country might not be normal elsewhere&lt;br /&gt;
• Make your listing personal&lt;br /&gt;
• Focus on cleanliness&lt;br /&gt;
• Use white linens and white towels&lt;br /&gt;
• Remember that the details matter&lt;br /&gt;
o Sticker on the toilet roll&lt;br /&gt;
o One hair in the bed/shower will ruin the guest’s experience and your 5-star rating&lt;br /&gt;
The flaw in Airbnb’s pricing algorithms&lt;br /&gt;
• Conflict of interest between what’s best for the host and what’s best for the guest.&lt;br /&gt;
How Iamb&amp;b helps hosts maximize their pad&#039;s potential&lt;br /&gt;
• Iamb&amp;b can take care of the whole process from listing and renting to cleaning&lt;br /&gt;
Recommended tools&lt;br /&gt;
• Beyond Pricing&lt;br /&gt;
What’s next for Iamb&amp;b&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>It’s no secret that cities around the world have been enforcing laws that have restricted Airbnb rentals. It was just recently that Airbnb announced that for the first time that they will restrict the number of days hosts can rent out their pads in two cities. One of those cities is Amsterdam where Jasper has his apartment. Because of this Jasper has made the decision to sell his place and buy multiple Airbnb’s around the world!&lt;br /&gt;
In this episode, Jasper talks about what he will be looking for when purchasing property in 2017!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the topics covered:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Airbnb regulations impacting hosts in Amsterdam&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper’s decision to sell his apartment&lt;br /&gt;
Conditions for a suitable pad&lt;br /&gt;
Condition 1: Price must be no more than 150 thousand Euros&lt;br /&gt;
• This price range excludes many Airbnb hot spots&lt;br /&gt;
Condition 2: Friendly legal conditions toward Airbnb.&lt;br /&gt;
• Are anti-Airbnb regulation likely to be enforced now or in the future?&lt;br /&gt;
Condition 3: Jasper’s personal like or dislike for the location&lt;br /&gt;
• Why a property in the Southern Hemisphere might be a good fit&lt;br /&gt;
Condition 4: ROI (return on investment)&lt;br /&gt;
• 10% is optimal&lt;br /&gt;
• 7-8% is acceptable&lt;br /&gt;
Condition 5: Real estate pricing outlook&lt;br /&gt;
• Little upside in Europe or the United states (in Jaspers opinion)&lt;br /&gt;
Condition 6: Jasper&#039;s existing contacts in the area&lt;br /&gt;
• Help with buying and maintaining the place&lt;br /&gt;
City in consideration: Santiago, Chile&lt;br /&gt;
• Why Santiago checks all of the boxes&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper’s weekly video about his journey:&lt;br /&gt;
• Follow on Facebook and YouTube&lt;br /&gt;
• Book coming in 2017&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>When it comes to planning for last minute travel, most people think of booking a hotel before booking a short-term rental via Airbnb or another platform. The founders at Overnight are looking to change that!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This week Jasper talks with Overnight Co-Founders Asher Hunt and Diego Prats about their startup, which helps guests book last minute lodging and helps hosts fill gaps in their calendars. Although the company is currently promoting just four cities in the United States, they currently have hosts in over 110 countries! If you have an IOS device, download the app and check it out!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the topics covered:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
• What Overnight is trying to accomplish&lt;br /&gt;
o Last minute bookings for short-term rentals&lt;br /&gt;
• How Airbnb hosts can use Overnight to fill gaps in their calendar&lt;br /&gt;
o Can sync Overnight calendar with Airbnb calendar&lt;br /&gt;
o Better listing positions for host that sync with Airbnb calendar&lt;br /&gt;
• You don’t have to be a host on Airbnb to join&lt;br /&gt;
• How Overnight works for travelers&lt;br /&gt;
• IOS ONLY app (for now)&lt;br /&gt;
• Where the service is currently offered&lt;br /&gt;
• Some special features offered by overnight&lt;br /&gt;
o Host can “boost” their listing, sending it to the top of the list&lt;br /&gt;
o Host can list in private mode.&lt;br /&gt;
o How hosts get paid for bookings though Overnight&lt;br /&gt;
• Special offer:&lt;br /&gt;
o BOTH host and guest can use the code ‘GPFYP’ for a extra referral bonus&lt;br /&gt;
o Listen for details&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>If you haven’t had time to learn about all of the recent Airbnb news and updates that is understandable! The folks at Airbnb have been very busy recently so in this episode Jasper covers some of the biggest news regarding Airbnb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the first time ever, Airbnb is working with cities to restrict the number of days hosts can rent out their pad and although this will impact just two markets, Jasper believes this model could be coming soon to many of the biggest Airbnb markets around the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jasper also discusses the new &#039;Airbnb Experiences&#039; service which allows people to design and offer experiences to people visiting their city. You don’t have to be a housing host to offer an experience! Experiences are currently available in only 12 markets but if you live in a major city you may be able to create an experience right now. Listen for details!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the topics covered:&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb’s announcement that it is going to restrict rental days in two markets&lt;br /&gt;
o This applies only to people renting out their entire home&lt;br /&gt;
o Amsterdam: Host will be restricted to 60 days per year&lt;br /&gt;
o London: Host will be restricted to 90 days per year&lt;br /&gt;
• Your options if you live in one of these two cities&lt;br /&gt;
o Jasper’s plan&lt;br /&gt;
• Why long term rental might not be a great solution for you.&lt;br /&gt;
o Long term rental laws are VERY favorable to the renters in most cities.&lt;br /&gt;
• Airbnb Experiences&lt;br /&gt;
o Why Jasper feels Airbnb Experiences is going to be a game-changer&lt;br /&gt;
o Available in only 12 markets?&lt;br /&gt;
 You can create Airbnb Experiences in over 50 cities right now&lt;br /&gt;
 Check the Airbnb Experiences tab to see if your city is listed&lt;br /&gt;
o What makes a great experience for visitors&lt;br /&gt;
 You must be passionate about what you offer!&lt;br /&gt;
 What do you enjoy doing?&lt;br /&gt;
o Why “Airbnb Experiences” will be a win for everyone&lt;br /&gt;
 Hosts can do what they love, meet new people, and make money&lt;br /&gt;
 Visitors can experience a side of the city they never could have alone&lt;br /&gt;
o Jasper’s advice for designing your own experience on Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;

<itunes:summary>There are many reasons people choose to host through Airbnb and similar platforms. Some host primarily for the money, but many do it for the opportunity to meet new people and establish lifetime friendships.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris Lee from New York is such a host. In addition to hosting through Airbnb, Chris is also an avid user of www.couchsurfing.com.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Couchsurfing.com is much like Airbnb in that you can use the platform to host guests and stay with hosts in cities across the globe. However, with couch surfing, no money changes hands, and it’s all about the experience of meeting new people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chris is a Lindy Hop Dancer, (an American dance that evolved in Harlem, NY in the 20’s and 30’s), and uses these sites to find other dancers and attend meetups.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the Topics covered:&lt;br /&gt;
• How Chris uses coachsurfing.com and Airbnb to meet and connect with new people&lt;br /&gt;
• The origins of Lindy Hop Dancing&lt;br /&gt;
• NY regulations&lt;br /&gt;
• Hands-on hosting (guest interaction)&lt;br /&gt;
• How Chris uses hostfully.com&lt;br /&gt;

After his experience, Rohan gave Airbnb a couple of weeks to respond to his complaint, and when nothing was done, wrote an article entitled “I’m a black man. Here’s what happened when I booked an Airbnb”. The post went viral garnering over 400K views in 48 hours!&lt;br /&gt;
But Rohan didn’t stop there. He and his team recently launched innclusive.com which has systems and processes in place to guard against discrimination from hosts. Innclussive is currently accepting host’s and will start accepting guest&#039;s bookings in August of this year (2016)!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some of the Topics covered:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rohan’s experience with racial discrimination on Airbnb&lt;br /&gt;
Stories from others&lt;br /&gt;
-#airbnbwhileblack&lt;br /&gt;
What Airbnb can and should do to fight discrimination.&lt;br /&gt;
-Respond to people that file complaints&lt;br /&gt;
