Here's the best advice we discovered for starting an airbnb management company:

#1: Lara Hawketts, founder of Home Sweet City:

We chatted with with Lara, founder of Home Sweet City ($270K/month). In our interview, Lara says:

No question one of the biggest headaches and learning curves we had were issues with guests. We did have some crazy situations that really we just had to learn through experience.

Additionally:

Get ‘scrappy’, find the most basic version of your product or service or offering, and test it out in the cheapest and fastest way possible. This way you can test your idea and refine it quickly and cheaply.

#2: Gary Fox, founder of Host Butlers:

We chatted with with Gary, founder of Host Butlers ($35K/month). In our interview, Gary says:

I was terrified of running out of money and for the first 18 months, I ran the company entirely on my own. I remember one particular day where I met 18 different guests at 18 different locations across the city.

Additionally:

Stop overthinking it and launch the leanest, most basic version of your product or service that you can. Only when you launch will you see if there’s demand or not.
