If you don't obsess over the things you want, you're going to spend your life obsessing over excuses as to why you never got them #GoGetIt

If they decided to go public at this very second, What private company would you throw just a stupid fat mountain of cash at?

@BarstoolTCU I miss GP

Opening drive thoughts: ⬇️

@MrJonesSTRs I see your listing, and raise you several colored bullet points

Airbnb Listing Hack ————————— Bad Listing •Long paragraphs •Lose guest’s attention Good Listing •Easy to read bullet points •Converts more bookings People have short attention spans. You need to design your listing to fit and convert the most bookings!

Outdoor amenities have become a staple in our STR business. The backyard is the #1 spot to separate yourself from your competition - and I will die on this hill. Here are some of our before & afters:

@MrJonesSTRs Cost?

Stocked up on another 1/8th cow (~60 pounds) Organic Grass-fed Farm is 20 miles from where we live Call your local farmer and buy your meats from them. Tastes better. Cheaper. Higher quality food

@JeffSendsIt Wild. If there’s too many STR’s, the market will correct it. If there is still demand, the market will make way. In the market, we trust.

@DFitz38 Lots of locals in one of towns we have STRs in are always complaining about lack of affordable housing and lack of longer term rentals. Of course it’s all STRs fault.

I posted a question to AirbnbHost subreddit asking how people with multiple properties handle their accounting and tax prep. I got 80% solid feedback. The other 20%…. Truly thinks I’m causing the housing market crash. That I’m the problem. Anyone else in the STR game get berated like this from anti-STR peeps?

@MrJonesSTRs I love it - is that a material, or paint?

We want to elevate our Airbnbs even more! Here's some new design ideas our team is thinking about: -Mural painted pool decks What do you think?

@JeffSendsIt @MrJonesSTRs Kind of a hybrid of the 2. Not enough room for a full mini golf course, but it’s uniquely shaped in a continuous green around the tree.

@DFitz38 @MrJonesSTRs nice! is that a putting green or u got a full mini golf course u got?

Launched a new listing today! Took a page out of @MrJonesSTRs playbook and went hard on the murals. Excited to see how this baby books 😤

@MrJonesSTRs Thank you sir

@DFitz38 Excellent work

@MrJonesSTRs @luxurylodgings @GlobalPropGuide No where. Guy threw out 30% cap rate because it sounded good lol 30% CoC, maybe.

30% cap rate? Where are you finding 30% cap rates? Let's do some math $256k revenue ($92k) Operating expenses $164k Net Operating Income A 30% cap rate would imply a $546k purchase price. Cap rate is NOI / PP. Where on god's green earth are you finding a $546k purchase price and generating $256k in gross revenue?

2 Turnkey Airbnb's for Sale Revenue: $566,000 Location: Southeast Florida Property: Each property is a single family home with 6 bedrooms Comes fully furnished Properties can be purchased together or separately Asking price for both properties: $3,100,000 **Let me know if you'd like to be connected to the seller**

And after 5 years you’ll have paid even more to a landlord if you rent. And you can’t write it off against your income, like you can with mortgage interest. The landlord wins, and you have zero equity to boot. Oh and rising rent payments, zero appreciation, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Not to mention after 5 years you'll have paid over $200,000 in interest and only about $65,000 on the principal. The bank wins. The home owner has a ball and chain tied to their leg. By the time it's paid off in 25 yrs, they'll have almost as much in interest than the $750k.

A 4 bedroom home in a nice area near me cost about $750,000. With a 20% down payment the monthly mortgage payment would be about $5,000 — not including utilities. To rent a 4 bedroom home in the same area would cost $4,000 per month. That saves over $1,000 per month plus $150,000 in down payment and $10,000 in closing costs. This is important to consider before purchasing a home 🚨

I was going to say - the play has to be for 5+ bedrooms, but those are going for $1.5M+. That’s interesting in terms of the building costs being discounted THAT much - I’ll have to look into that. Broken Bow will continue to benefit from the growth of north Texas, so I’d love to own something there.

We've been in this market for almost 5 years. Buying retail at these prices is tough but building is very cost effective. We have been building exclusively since 2021 You can get an entry cost at ~25-30% less than retail comps Rentals are still doing well on good properties but we have seen some compression in the 3 bedroom and smaller space. 4+ bedrooms with good amenities, good marketing, and a good location still crushing it

Scouting some prospective Short Term Rentals…. —Broken Bow, OK

@iamshackelford Storms bring rainbows bro, relax 🌈

@DFitz38 Psh that’s negativity that I don’t subscribe to!

@GuyTalksFinance @CPATaxTeam @MikeSyl36625988 Not concerned, just don’t think you’re being realistic if you think $40k/year will be enough to live “comfortably” on in 20-30 years

@DFitz38 @CPATaxTeam @MikeSyl36625988 Thanks for your concern Dylan 🫶 I think I’m more than well prepared for when retirement comes

If I don’t invest another dollar I will be a millionaire by 55 years old 💰 That is the power of time + compound interest

@GuyTalksFinance @CPATaxTeam @MikeSyl36625988 Property taxes and home owners insurance alone will eat half that budget lol

Yes. When I’m 55 I’ll have a paid off home and will not be supporting kids. They will be out on their own by then or making money to support themselves. $40k for two people with minimal bills to retire on? Yessir Even if I had to work part time just for benefits until 65 that’s fine

@MrJonesSTRs That ROI 😮‍💨

@DFitz38 ~$14k

Our golf simulator Airbnb is crushing it We’re seeing a revenue bump of $25,000+ above similar listings! When evaluating an amenity for your Short Term Rental, always think about the return on investment
