Why become a host on Airbnb?

You may already have used the Airbnb platform to rent out accommodation during a stay in France or abroad. So why not offer your property for rent?

Renting to get paid

The main advantage of becoming an Airbnb host is to earn money by renting out your accommodation, of course. Depending on the type and number of rentals you offer, you can very well supplement your income or live off your rentals on Airbnb! Of course, the income you generate by renting out your home on such a platform must be declared to the tax authorities. But it is possible to increase your income and even make a living from renting out accommodation online.

Helping others to enjoy their holidays

More and more travellers want to discover a country, a region or a city outside the tourist box. Others do not like hotels or campsites. These holidaymakers are looking for rental properties to simply feel at home. Renting a flat or a house is also a more economical solution for many holidaymakers or families. You don't have to go to the restaurant every day, you live like you are at home in a very different city. As a host, you will also be able to advise your tenants on interesting places in the area.

A secure platform

It is essential to have confidence in the platform you choose to rent an accommodation. Airbnb and its teams are there to answer the questions of hosts. But also in case of problems. Share your experiences on the platform, ask other members for advice... The payment systems are just as secure. If you have a problem, you can easily and quickly get the assistance you need.

You stay in control

By becoming a host on Airbnb, you keep control of your accommodation. You select the dates when you want to offer it for rent. And you set the prices! As a host, you also set the rules (pets allowed or not, smoking or not, etc.). Of course, you also decide on the arrival and departure times of the accommodation. This flexibility allows you to rent your accommodation whenever you want, without having to deal with intermediaries. The platform also offers optimal and very simple management of rental accommodation for hosts.

Meeting people

Although this is not the primary reason why more and more people are choosing to rent their accommodation on Airbnb, it is important nonetheless! Indeed, Airbnb hosts discover over time that renting out their accommodation allows them to meet very enriching people. You will meet travellers from very different countries and backgrounds. This is an advantage that you don't necessarily think about when you first start on Airbnb, but that you learn to appreciate over time. Make friends from all over the world! One day, you might be the one to visit them, who knows?

You can post an ad for your accommodation in almost any country in the world. It is an international platform that is open to people from all over the world. So, if you rent on Airbnb, expect foreign tenants to be interested in your property too!

How to become an Airbnb host?

To become a host, you will need to create an account on the platform, if you have not already done so. Then, you create your ad. Remember to add photos of your property to make it more attractive! Think about the framing and the light. Placing an ad online is free. Describe the property as accurately as possible: surface area, number of rooms, services, etc. Then you will receive the guests after having discussed with them via the platform. Make sure you have the minimum necessary to welcome them: cooking utensils, clean sheets and towels, cleaning materials, etc. And give them the WIFI code. Finally, you receive your money! To benefit from the platform's insurance, it is essential that the payment is made on the platform.

Optimising your chances of renting on Airbnb

If you live in a large city, your accommodation will be competing with many others. Here are some tips to make your ad stand out!

Playing on prices

Offer discounts to travellers you have already received. This way, they will be more likely to rent your accommodation again during their next stay. Also adjust your rates according to the seasons and local events. For example, if you rent a chalet in the mountains, the price will be higher in winter during the school holidays. In the low season, lower your rates.

In the first few months, consider "undercutting" rental prices to attract your first tenants.

Set your property apart from others

Each property has its own advantages and assets to highlight. First of all, provide good quality photos of your property to make your ad stand out. Select them carefully. The aim is to offer a glimpse of the kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom and even the view! Playing with prices will of course make your accommodation stand out from the rest. But comments are also very important. Make sure you give the best possible welcome to the tenants of your property: they will be more likely to post good comments on your ad!

Using social networks

Today, there is no better way to become an Airbnb host than through social networks. Post your ad in groups that are likely to be interested in it. For example, if there are some great hikes in your town or village, post your listing on hiking groups. You can also ask your friends and acquaintances to share your ad on social networks to give it more visibility. Finally, be available to answer messages and questions from potential tenants!

Becoming an Airbnb host: what you need to know

By taking advantage of the Airbnb platform, you can publish your ads for free and optimise the rental of your accommodation according to the time of year. You can manage every detail of the transaction and meet new people. So, get to work!

Buying a flat or house to rent on Airbnb?

If you are interested in investing and earning money, then it may be very interesting for you to consider buying a flat or a house, in order to rent the property on a platform like Airbnb afterwards. The last economic crisis has taught us all something: no one is immune to need and overnight you may simply lose your main sources of income. This is exactly why more and more French people want to invest in real estate. At a time when we know more and more automated services such as checkouts in shops or jobs related to logistics, it is more than necessary to prepare for the future and select investments that will still be essential in the years to come! If some people prefer to invest in the stock market, others do not prefer to take so many risks because they do not always have the necessary knowledge to be able to earn thousands of euros: they choose other solutions and want to start renting a house or a flat! It must be said that renting your flat is a very interesting idea for those who want to earn money:

  • it is a way to ensure a fixed income every month
  • it does not always require a lot of maintenance
  • the money you earn from renting out your flat allows you to buy other properties to rent out

With the financial crisis, in some French cities, interest rates have fallen very impressively and nobody expected the prices to be so low. But in order to benefit from them, you need to know how to get the best prices.

How to get the best loan to buy a flat or a house?

If you are planning to rent out a property or put it on Airbnb, then you will need to make sure you have a good rate for your mortgage beforehand! Indeed, although prices have never been so low, some French people do not always get good rates. To make sure you don't get it wrong, we recommend you check out this website which will show you all the best opportunities to get the best price. Although some French people have a truly blind trust in their bank, this is not always a good deal: in some cases it is possible to find great opportunities in other banks and you should have absolutely no qualms if you want to go elsewhere!

Indeed, as you can see by doing some calculations, even a small difference in the rate of a mortgage can be of major importance. If you have subsequently decided to rent out the house or flat you have bought on a platform such as Airbnb, then you should take this information into account. This has a direct impact on the profitability of your homeUnfortunately, you may have to wait years for a home you own to become profitable. By using an online broker, it's very simple: the broker will take care of all the steps with the banks for you, and all you have to do is give him the necessary administrative documents, such as salary slips or all your latest bank statements.

In this way, you can be sure that you are making the right choice with your broker: some brokers only charge around 100 euros per purchase and you can therefore make a very good return on your property purchase. If you want to rent a property on Airbnb, you understand that this is not a trivial matter and that consequently the profits can be very different depending on your previous choices: it is essential to take into account all the platform's requirements so that you don't end up with a property that no one wants to rent because of its location, which doesn't appeal to anyone!
