Real Estate Is Easy Interview
Lauren interviewed one of her short-term rental cleaners, Jasmine Jordan. They talked about the differences between regular residential cleanings versus short-term rental cleanings. Jasmine mentioned the best thing you can do is communicate with her. Together, Lauren and Jasmine did the math: over 5 years she does about 3500 cleans. Her favorite part – somehow – is making the bed. Perhaps unexpectedly, Jasmine’s house isn’t perfectly clean. She said the cost of cleaning should be based on size and expectations. Get this: Jasmine is pleasantly surprised when the places are left nice, rather than upset when they’re left a mess! Lauren is truly grateful for her relationship with Jasmine.
Mortgage Minute: Jasmine answers the question: what is APR?
House Money Weekly
In this week’s House Money Weekly segment, the hosts discussed a blog about running the rental numbers. They focused on long-term rentals. Alan suggests “bracketing” when figuring out the rent. Find a nicer place than yours and a less nice place when compared to yours. You can use Zillow or Rentometer for this. Lauren suggests having long-term rentals as a back up plan for your short-term rentals. Tom uses the 1% rule, meaning the unit(s) rent(s) for 1% of the purchase price every month. Lauren suggests analyzing 5 properties per day to get comfortable and using this “rule” as a hurdle rate to dive deeper into other metrics. Alan says expenses will be 40% of rent. Lauren mentions that this is more like 60-80% for short-term rentals. Lastly, figure out what the mortgage payment will be. There are calculators online, or you can speak with a lender.

Teatime with Tom
Tom brings up the topic of the “hustle culture” to the “take breaks/self-care group” and everyone in between. You can learn from both sides on social media and find what works for you. Alan points out that taking a break from hustling to post about it on social media is counter intuitive. He recommends using frugality early on, but focusing on making more money is more productive.
