In this post, I will be taking you through my Airbnb property investment journey so far and we will assess how my Auckland CBD apartment performed with a regular tenancy and then as an Airbnb. Hopefully, I can answer a lot of your question about whether Airbnb is a viable investment strategy by showing you the actual figures for our apartment. With the help of our parents who loaned us the money for the security deposit, me and my brother secured our first investment property aged just 25 and 23 in 2016: a 48m2 one bedroom apartment located in Auckland CBD.

1. Keep it clean and tidy

Make sure the property is clean and tidy before guests arrive. It is a clean environment and sets the tone for a pleasant stay. Ensure everything from the floor to the countertop is clean and sparkling, and remember to change the bedding. If you have pets on your property, clean up after them. Guests should be greeted upon arrival with a clean and inviting environment.

2. Add your touch

Adding a personal touch to your rental is a great way to make guests feel at home. You can do this by leaving greeting cards, giving fresh flowers, or even a complimentary bottle of wine. Small gestures like this can have a significant impact on your guests’ experience, and they’ll appreciate your efforts to make them comfortable

3. Make sure everything works

Make sure everything in your rental unit works, from appliances to lighting. If something is broken or malfunctioning, it should be fixed before guests arrive. Ensure all amenities, such as air conditioning, heating, and hot water, work properly. Guests should never be treated to malfunctioning equipment while on vacation.

4. Provide clear direction

Providing clear instructions on how to use everything in your rental is essential. Leave instructions on how to use devices, Wi-Fi passwords, and use the TV. This can help your guests feel more at home and comfortable in the new surroundings. Clear instructions will also reduce the chances of strangers calling you with questions, freeing time to focus on other things

5. Clear communication

Keeping open communication with strangers is essential. If they need anything during their stay, ensure they can reach you. Answer their questions promptly, and be sure to address any concerns. Doing so will ensure customer satisfaction, good feedback, and repeat business.
