Ways to make money in Airbnb without a property
Managing properties
If you are a time-rich person, property management is a good option. In this way, you can get involved with Airbnb without investing in your home.
You will find several people who are willing to list their properties, but few have the time or resources. This is where you could help them and make some money in the process.
You will reply to messages, check guests in and turn over the property after booking. You’ll probably get 10%-20% of the booking amount; that should accumulate to a good profit.
Talking to homeowners who want to rent
You should approach someone who wants to rent out their property. You could begin a conversation with them and tell them how they could make two to three times the amount they were making from rent if they gave their property as Airbnb.
Trust us, this should get the homeowners interested. Of course, since you are not renting, you will not be paying them anything, you would simply rent out the property and take a cut.
This is good as it means you will get all the rewards without the risks. Who would not want to opt for something like that?
Start cleaning Airbnb properties
Of course, this might seem unorthodox, but you sure can make some money. People are constantly looking for those who could clean out their Airbnb property. You could take a look at Craigslist and see how many people are willing to hire cleaners.
The pay rate will vary. You can set your own price per hour, or you could charge by the room, the pricing is entirely up to you. Take this opportunity to help yourself, and you will see how much you can make.
Housesitting
Sometimes, people list their houses and go on a vacation. In this case, they hire someone to house sit. You could be one of those people. It’s easy, does not require a lot of hard work, and you get paid in the end. Who does not like that kind of work? The owners could give you a percentage depending on how many people show up.
