Short Term Rental Strategy with Danielle & Culin Tate

 

Guest: Danielle & Culin Tate went from unemployed to grossing over $1 Million annually through Short Term Rental/Airbnb Investing. Culin used his background in SEO to reverse engineer the AirBNB algorithm to rank their 10 listings on the top page.

Big Idea: Selecting the right properties for your portfolio in a tight geographic region provides the opportunity to better monopolize your chosen market.

 

 

    

Dan Breslin: Sweet. Yeah. So for listeners who don’t know, we’re on the video call. And you could see the host, Coach neon sign in the background. That is Danielle and Culin’s Hosting Company. They have 10 short term rentals that they have operated at what is an above average performance rate compared to what most people probably get out of their short term rentals soon to be 11. They’ve been doing this since 2018, and have written the book, which I believe, is also called Host Coach as well. Plug for the book. Cool. Welcome to the show. Do you guys want to share the backstory? How did you end up doing this, you know, starting in 2018, and maybe what’s the business model look like.

CTate: Yeah, yeah, excellent question. I started real estate the way a lot of people do kind of by accident, meaning that in 2018 I’ve always been a serial entrepreneur. I’ve had many startups, and in 2018 I was part of a startup that would basically shut down shop and just kind of looking at my life thinking. You know, I’ve got a 8 year old, son, am I gonna really go? You know, what’s the what’s the effort level look like starting another startup right? And and everybody that’s done that knows, you know the grind involved, and we had one short term rental at the time and it was, you know, a sideline kind of thing, but it was doing $4,000 a month or so in in gross revenue, and I thought. You know, I’ve always been kind of excited and interested in real estate. I could do easy math, and I can multiply 4 times 2 or 3, and start to see some scale there. And then doing what we do best. We iterated and used all of our background from having various tech companies separately and together, and really started to dig into. How do you make this perform? How do you? Once we had a couple we accidentally bought 3 from different people simultaneously. So we had enough to test some theories and really start to manipulate how we were presenting things and and work on the Airbnb Algorithm to be at 97% occupancy year round.
