The Full English: The United Kingdom's Airbnb, Short Term Rental & Property Investment Show Mike Atkinson

Jake quit his job and moved to Sheffield with the laser focused purpose of investing in property.

Sheffield was selected as the place to be given its up and coming status along with the affordability of property in the city.

Jake has experience in traditional AST properties, HMO’s and Short Term Rentals. We cover all three in this conversation. And learn about how they compare to one another.

Jake is full of great stories and advise – I think you'll enjoy this one!

Hello and welcome to this weeks show. Today I am speaking with Beth.

Beth used to be a nurse but when she learned of the opportunities in short term rentals she decided to give it a go, and she hasn’t looked back since.

Her business is growing nicely, with a combination of properties under management from landlords, and properties owned by her boyfriend and partner which she also manages.

All of Beth's properties are in Sheffield.

She has great focus, commitment, and importantly a fantastic attention to detail. This has really put her in a good position to develop her business and I think she will go from strength to strength in the coming period.

To get in touch with Beth, please reach out to her at info@arkservicedaccommodation.com

Today I am speaking to Justina. She founded her company – Cosy Spaces – on the eve of the pandemic.

Working her way through the trials and tribulations of the period she has come out the other side with a successful and growing short term rental business.

Her properties are in the Leeds and Burnley area. In this conversation, we learn about those two locations, how they are different from one another. And what makes a good short term rental property in each.

Justina specialises in accommodating contractors. She explains why she has targeted them and as well as how she does it successfully.

She is an absolute inspiration and I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Today we are joined by Gabriel. Gabriel owns and runs a London based design and build company, specialising in high end residential refurbishment projects.

He has learned how to hone his refurbishments to maximise returns on investment, and he explains exactly how he has done it.

Gabriel is a very smart guy and it was a great pleasure to share this conversation with him.

This week, we are very lucky to have both Polly an Mamadou on the show They are a couple, they both studied in the beautiful city of Oxford. And, this is where they operate their short term rental property investment business.

They have proven to be quite a potent partnership together - Polly has an entrepreneurial flair and Mamadou is an engineer at heart.

My take is that Polly has provided the drive and Mamadou has provided the cold, hard engineering of the systems, which has made scaling their business possible. Maybe that’s an over simplification, but either way, they have achieved great success with their Airbnb business.

In this conversation, they were both willing and importantly very able to speak openly and concisely regarding the challenges they have met and how they have overcome them. We explore: How to develop and implement automation of systems: How to furnish a property and insight into the difference it makes: Guest communication  AND  the importance using a good channel manager.
