Hey there, friends! It's Matt this week, checking in. Lisa is currently engrossed in a massive design project, so I decided to take the reins and provide you with a little update. If you're on our email list, you may have already seen the news of me launching my consulting business! I've been immersed in this field for a while now, and before I made any announcements, I wanted to take some time to reflect on this change and why I believe I'm "the guy for the job." Once I'm confident enough to share this with all of you, I'll be ready to keep helping and inspiring others to dive into what Lisa and I have been up to!
Having spent the majority of my adult life navigating the corporate world and serving as a CEO for years, I've fine-tuned my leadership skills and honed a sharp business sense. This Chino Hills kid certainly made his dad proud! One of my significant goals this year was to dive headfirst into the world of real estate, dedicating my time and expertise to expand our family's property portfolio. If you've been following us for a while, you know that Lisa and I are no strangers to dabbling in short-term and long-term rentals. We've played just about every role you can think of – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Now, if you've considered entering the real estate game, you might think it's a bit like the Wild Wild West... and that's because it is. But consider me your Clint Eastwood, your partner in this exciting journey! As anyone who has grown a business knows, there are times when you need to add a little fuel to the fire, and sometimes those times aren't always convenient or as planned. I had confidence that the same principles that drove my success in the corporate realm would lead to triumph in this new venture.
Why Airbnb and Vacation Homes are a Lucrative Business
Did you know that the Airbnb business is projected to be worth over $30 billion by 2025? I could delve into statistics and numbers for days, but one thing is certain – this industry is not one to overlook. It's a thriving industry, and here are three key similarities it shares with traditional entrepreneurship:
- Revenue Generation: Much like owning a business, an Airbnb property can be a lucrative source of income, providing a steady stream of revenue.
- Customer Service Excellence: A guest's experience is paramount in the short-term rental industry. Building rapport and providing excellent customer service can lead to positive reviews, referrals, and repeat business.
- Marketing and Branding: Successfully marketing your Airbnb property requires strategy and branding, similar to promoting any other business venture.
What Sets Me Apart
My previous career in the freight industry equipped me with invaluable skills that translate seamlessly into real estate, Airbnb, and short-term rental management. Managing teams of people, delivering exceptional customer service, and strategically working on large projects were paramount in that industry, and they remain integral to my approach in this venture.
The Airbnb Advantage
Owning an Airbnb property offers unique benefits that you won't find in traditional business ownership. It provides a tangible asset that appreciates over time while allowing you to tap into the lucrative short-term rental market. It has also taught our family valuable life skills. Are you doing it right if your 19-year-old son spent his summer learning the HVAC business and is now our lead heating and cooling guru? Jokes aside, it has not only taught Lisa and me but also our kids how to manage projects, multitask, work with others, and handle handy tools and fix-it tricks passed down from my dad.
