New Host- How has your experience been?

Hello AirBNB Family!
My boyfriend and I are interested in becoming AirBNB Hosts and plan on executing our plan in early 2021. We plan on purchasing and listing a 1bed/1bath apartment in Houston, as a short term rental property, using a corporate application. 

For the past few month, I have been doing rigorous research on the short term rental

space. Due to Covid-19, I understand that it has really affected the tourism rate and I was curious as to how current and new AirBNB hosts (with 1 or multiple properties) are tackling this pandemic and how it has affected your book of business. I figured that 2021 would be an ideal time to enter due to the AirBNB’s IPO release date and in hopes Covid-19 will stabilize by then. I watched YouTube videos and saw that people are still a traveling locally and the demand for long term rentals has risen. I wanted to reach out to you guys to hear a more local perspective from the AIRBNB community so we can share insight! Any advice will be MUCH appreciated 🙂 

Thank You!

Hi Luyen,  have you started your AirBNB? I know I'm late to the party, did you ever start your AirBNB?
