Words can take you far when you're an Airbnb host. And managing your Airbnb rentals, specifically your inbox, doesn't have to be that complicated. 

Let me show you how!

In this week's episode of Women Creating Wealth, we'll talk about quick replies. Quick replies are automated messages on Airbnb that help you streamline communication with your guests. 

Depending on how you set them up, they get sent out to your guests without you having to worry about anything. This way, you don't have to type everything right then and there. You just have to automate them! It's a great way to personalize your communication with guests while saving time.

And in this episode, we're going to discuss…

- the four essential quick replies

- when to use them

- how to use them

- my quick replies that you can copy

If you think replying to your guests' questions or sending them instructions is daunting, then try this Airbnb feature. Are you managing a couple of Airbnb rentals? Then this is a great feature you need to take advantage of. Remember, the more your guests like you, the better reviews you’re going to get.

So make sure to tune in to this episode and learn how to  maximize this feature.

Let's get started!

Do you really need a general contractor for your construction project? Why need one when you can save a lot of money by doing it yourself?

That’s what we’ll find out in this week’s episode of Women Creating Wealth.

Last week, we had Ann McNeill from MCO Construction, and we talked about the best way to work with real estate contractors. And today, we’re going to dive deep into it by weighing the pros and cons of working with general contractors (GC).

With DIY home improvement videos on the rise and, of course, HGTV (who doesn’t love this?), it’s pretty tempting to go out there and do it yourself instead of paying a GC. 

But let me tell you this. 

You got to consider a lot of things before deciding on doing it your own vs. hiring a GC. You have to ask yourself…

- Am I materially changing the space, or does it require permits?

- How long is the project going to take?

- Have I ever done something like this before?

- Do I have the right connections to work with?

So, tune in to today’s episode as we answer those questions above and uncover the advantages and disadvantages of working with general contractors.

If you’re taking on a house renovation project or sprucing up your old place as an Airbnb rental, this episode could be exactly what you need right now to help you weigh things.

Let’s get started!

You're not going too far into real estate investing without talking to a contractor.

Even if you buy a couple of houses in perfect condition, you still need to work with a contractor to discuss how you can add value to your properties and whatnot.

But I've often heard complaints about how difficult it is to work with real estate contractors, especially for first-timers.

Newbie real estate investors would almost always mention how they were taken advantage of and disrespected by their contractors.

I dealt with those myself back then. 

But it doesn't mean that every beginner investor should also deal with the same thing.

So, in today's episode of Women Creating Wealth, I've invited MCO Construction CEO, my mentor, and a good friend Ann McNeill to talk about...

- Her real estate investing journey

- How to confidently handle real estate matters with contractors

- Helpful tips and tricks on working with contractors

- and a whole lot more

If it's your first time dealing with real estate contractors or you want to improve your next experience working with a contractor, then make sure to tune in to learn more. You don’t want to miss this!

Let's dive right in!
