Brenae Robinson wants to make that check you’re getting from your day job a nice-to-have instead of a need-to-have.
How? By launching a short-term rental business that’ll have big-name companies like Airbnb paying you every day.
Your boss doesn’t even have to know.
Brenae worked in corporate America for over a decade.
Great career, plenty of promotions, six-figure salary, yearly bonuses. It was all good.
Until she got burnt out, that is, and fell outta love with it.
Short-term rentals were the perfect pivot.
Brenae had a passion for interior design and real estate and was well-versed in business operations thanks to her day job.
She was killing it in no time.
“I really didn’t expect it to take off the way that it did,” she laughs.
“So much so that I kinda thought it was a fluke. I’m like, am I really doing this well with it?”
“But, as I began adding new rental properties and Airbnb units to my portfolio, other people, other family members began asking me how they could do it too.”
“And I just started sharing my approach, and here we are,” Brenae says.
Your girl’s on a mission.
She wants to help as many people as possible start their short-term rental business so that they can add a profitable and sustainable income stream for themselves.
But if you plan on being one of ’em, there’s a few things you need to know.
First, you can’t treat this like a side hustle.
Yes, that’s what it’ll be at first. But you have to run it like it’s a real business, like it’s your main thing.
“For example,” Brenae says, “say you wanna rent (instead of purchase) a home or an apartment to list on Airbnb and Vrbo.”
“Well, if your business isn’t set up or registered as an official business, the landlord of the apartment complex likely won’t approve a corporate or a master lease for you, right?”
“Because you don’t have an official business.”
Makes sense, B. What else ya got for us?
Second, she wants you establishing your business credit profile immediately after registering your LLC.
“This strategy is gold,” she says.
“It means you can actually use other people’s money, in the form of business credit cards, loans or business grants, so that you can start and grow your short-term rental business.”
“Listen, when I started, I didn’t know a thing about business credit, which meant I was paying everything outta pocket.”
“Good thing I had a six-figure job. But for anyone else, it may not be feasible.”
“And since learning about it and getting into the business, I’ve gotten approved for thousands of dollars in business funding,” Brenae explains.
“And that’s how I’ve been able to add more and more properties to my portfolio.”
“And so this is what I teach my mentees and clients to do as well,” she says.
Third, ya gotta do market research.
Use data to forecast exactly what you might make in a particular city. That way, you only move forward with properties that’ll produce positive cash flow.
Brenae recommends a tool called Rabbu to do this.
It’ll show you exactly what you stand to make in any given market.
This girl doesn’t waste any time.
She wants you to book a Get It Done strategy session with her asap.
On that call, she’ll come up with a step-by-step plan for you to make job-replacing income on Airbnb.
At the end of it, if you’re a good fit, you can join her coaching program.
No mention of cost.
Adore Brenae but breaking into a full body sweat just thinking about everything that goes into STRs.
