Airbnb

Hi fam, wanted to know your thoughts on becoming Airbnb hosts in Bengaluru. I currently reside in bengaluru. Honestly, i had great airbnb experiences wherever I stayed and since I have a knack for DIY my interiors so why not become an airbnb host. Give me thoughts as where should I start ? How to find good deals and property, should I take help of a broker? Is there any profit margin involve at initial level? What are extra costs involved like caretaker and maintenance? Are landlords in bangalore comfortable in leasing/renting out their property as airbnb? I’m thinking to apply the lease/rental model instead of buying the property. If someone is doing the same wanted to know their journey. My aim is to start with one property and eventually expand it.

- Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky announced plans to expand into new products and services, including co-hosting and relaunching 'experiences'. - The company aims to grow its revenue by offering more than just short-term vacation rentals. - Co-hosting will connect homeowners who lack time to manage listings with those who have time but no property to offer. - 'Experiences' will be relaunched next year, focusing on affordability and uniqueness, including ideas like personal chefs and massages. - The expansion comes amid a weak Q2 for Airbnb, with profits falling 15% and stock dropping over 16% in after-market trading.

Hi, could someone please help me with referral in Airbnb?

My relative works with Airbnb as a fully remote worker & thus was at my place for a few days & sobbed his heart out. There’s a super boss who’s abusive at work calls & just when i was about to tell him to chill & cope it, I was told the super boss was drunk at the call. My relative has never been a slack worker & has had multiple promotions at his previous company but it seems he’s close to a nervous wreck He’s close to depression now thanks to this super boss and contemplating putting his papers. The immediate boss of my relative has asked my relative to cop it & said that it’s just part of the job & wants my relative to continue in his role. I was wondering how well known companies like Airbnb has this culture?

Can anyone confirm!?
