We didn’t just “buy an Airbnb"


I’ll be honest…

The Airbnb side of things is pretty straightforward. Listing it, getting bookings, that part clicked pretty quickly.

But what wasn’t simple? Actually getting the property ready.

All of our places are Detroit land bank properties…Which basically means they started off pretty rough.

Full gut renovations. We’re talking taking something completely dilapidated and turning it into a place someone would actually want to stay. And on top of that, figuring out where to even invest.

Because if you know Detroit, you know…Every neighborhood is different. Some areas make sense.
Some just don’t. That part matters just as much as anything you do on Airbnb.

So yes the platform itself is simple. But choosing the right property and setting it up the right way?

That’s where most of the real decisions happen. If you’re thinking about getting into Airbnb, especially in a city like Detroit, that’s the part you want to get right from the beginning. I’ve been learning all of this by actually doing it, and I’m opening up a few spots to talk with people who are either getting started or trying to figure out their next move.

Nothing complicated just a conversation to help you think it through.

If you want details, just reply and I’ll send them over.

If you’re thinking about getting into Airbnb, there’s one thing I’d pay way more attention to upfront… Location. And I don’t just mean the city. I mean the specific area within that city. Because every neighborhood is different. Some areas make sense for short-term rentals…Others just don’t, no matter how good the property looks. This is something we had to learn early on. Before even thinking about furniture, design, or listing it… You’ve got to ask: “Would someone actually want to stay...

Hi Reader If you are new here, last month I shared how I hit a wall with my health, extremely tired, foggy, and running on autopilot. Since then, things have shifted Thank God. The biggest update? My fatigue is 90% gone. I’ve learned the difference between being tired (manageable, normal) and being fatigued (debilitating, physically and emotionally). And honestly? Feeling tired feels like a gift compared to what I was battling before. Phase 1 of my treatment plan 🪴was all about resetting my...

Our Airbnb When we purchased our investment property in Detroit, the plan was simple: long-term hold, traditional tenant, and steady income. But the more we learned about short-term rentals, the more we realized this could be a good opportunity.So we took the leap and converted our duplex into an Airbnb. Since then?It’s been really profitable and thats wild 🤯 especially when you consider where the property is: right on Dexter, in the heart of a neighborhood that was once considered a lost...
