One of the fastest growing industries in the nation is the Airbnb (Air Bed and Breakfast) business. In the Real Estate Mortgage Shoppe studio Airbnb expert, Sam Goff will be sharing his experience and some knowledge about how to make money using your real estate for Airbnb and doing it the right way. I will be sharing some stories about people I know have found ways to make their homes produce an income for you.
Sitting in the co-host chair today we have our Airbnb expert Sam Goff, realtor with Sowell and Company. Sam, you used to be a mortgage loan officer and now you are serving your clients as a realtor. I have been hearing from some realtors the success you are enjoying with your own Airbnb investments. Sam, tell our new listeners a little bit about yourself and what you do for your clients. (Sam talks about his past career as a mortgage loan officer and current career as a realtor in the Memphis area. He talks a little bit about his experience using his real estate for an Airbnb (Air Bed and Breakfast).
(Jo) Back in the old days the land you owned yielded an income for you. It was called farming. In the city many business owners lived in apartment-like housing on the 2nd floor of their businesses. Single women and widows back then made a living renting out the rooms in their homes to boarders who paid weekly to room there. Everyone had at least one meal a day and shared the house radio or old television set.
Today, there are just as many ways to make your home make YOU an income. As a mortgage loan office, I have learned a lot from my mortgage clients and friends. Here are just a few ideas that I have seen work for me and others.
1. Buy a duplex, a tri-plex or 4-plex. Live in one unit and rent out the rest. I have seen how people can live for free because the other tenant or tenants are paying enough rent to more than cover the house note for the owner. The financing can be easier than you think. Let’s talk.
2. Buy a home with a semi-separate mother-in-law wing for elderly parents or other family members to live comfortably. Having care-givers come in periodically to care for your loved one there could still be much less than having to foot the bill for rent on assisted living.
Get a tiny house installed on your property. One of my family members was diagnosed with an illness that required a constant care-giver. Instead of paying rent for a room in a full-care facility, my sister found a used tiny house for sale on the side of the road on one of her road trips. We paid cash for it, had it hauled to a close family member’s home and hooked to septic and utilities. We fixed it up and our cherished family member gets to live in her own little house. She eats when she wants to, gets fresh air anytime on her front or back porch. She can listen to music, watch TV or nap anytime she wants. Family, friends and professional care-givers keep her healthy and safe 24-7. It is a little bit of heaven at a down-to-earth cost.
3. You and your college-bound child can buy a home in the chosen college town. Your son or daughter can live there and rent out the other rooms to college friends. The rent from the others can pay all of your son or daughter’s costs plus leave enough to cover other costs. At graduation, you can resell the home for a profit.
4. Convert a bedroom in your home to an office where you can work from home instead of commuting every day. Build a workshop and build a thriving business from it.
5. Convert all or part of your home to an Airbnb location.

TOPICS COVERED BY JO GARNER, MORTGAGE LOAN OFFICER
1. What are some methods people successfully use their real estate to bring in an income.
A. Buy multi-unit home. Live in one side and rent the other units to tenants (duplex, tri-plex, four-plex)
B. Buy a home with a semi-separate mother-in-law wing to provide a happy and safe place for an aging or handicapped loved one to live without having to pay costs of a high-priced full care facility.
C. Buy a tiny house and place it on your property for renting out or providing a place for a loved one to live instead of paying the high-cost of an alternative living space. (check local zoning laws and other restrictions. Make sure your tiny house is probably inspected and installed to services)
D. You and your college-bound son or daughter consider buying a home in the chosen college town and use the extra rooms to rent to other college friends. Seek some professional advice from a realtor or property manager who can advise on the language in the lease etc. The income from the rent from the others might pay for the entire house payment plus some extra income to cover other expenses. After graduation, sell the house at a profit.
E. Buying a house that more than paid for college student’s room-board and living expenses- The Smith family story
F. Mr. and Ms. Smith knew they wanted their son to be able to college at their alma mater out of state. The tuition with the living expenses were going to strain their budget, and how much were they going to have to sacrifice to get their son to graduation? Not much all, as a matter of fact. The Smiths decided to step outside the box and BUY a home close to the university where their son could live. Their son went on the loan with them as the owner occupant, so the deal didn’t cost much cash out of pocket, and their son rented two of the rooms to other students which more than paid the mortgage payment Very clever for the Smiths! They made money each month and built equity and their son built his credit at the same time too. Who do you know that could use this smart strategy for their college student? Let’s talk!
G. Convert a room in your home into your office so you can work from home and save money by not having to commute or pay other overhead related to your business.
H. Build a work shop and begin making money making and fixing things using your skill or craft.
I. Buy rental income property that brings you a positive income each month.
J. Convert all or part of your home into an Airbnb.
