We are now entering November and it is time for me to post my first income report.
I thought about this hard and long on what I should post here. Yes I work for a business, but I also have my own business / income streams which is what my Big Investor is focused on. So for this reason, I will not include the income I receive for employment, only all additional income streams.
AirBNB
October was my first month that I started using AirBNB to replace my rental income that I received from long term tenancy using my apartment. My apartment was listed on AirBNB for the first time on 18 Oct and my first booking started on 19 Oct.
The first month has been a real learning curve, as I’ve had to get all of my processes in place as well as some additional expenses coming.
To make it simple to work out my profit/loss I will calculate expenses on a cash date bases, and I will calculate income based on the booking daily average for the days booked during the period.
Income: $1209
Expenses: $456
Profit/Loss: +$753
Property Services Business
I haven’t mentioned much about my property services business, but it is quite streamlined. I focus on a high quality service and make it easy for services to be provided to Management level customers. My customers are looking to get their service requirements fulfilled reliably, efficiently and require detailed reporting. I provide this all to them in an industry that is quite behind the times.
Income: $2350
Expenses: $1834
Profit/Loss: +$516
Total Profit/Loss for October
+$1269
hello Nice.
Hi Mike,
that’s a real eye opener for me. Only a couple hundred bucks made from AirBNB. I thought it would be more. What type of property services do you provide?
Keep working work and business will grow. Thanks for sharing.
Peace, Peter.
Hi Peter,
My property services are locally based in Melbourne, Australia. I provide trades for small to medium projects and ad-hoc requirements for Property Managers and Owner’s Corporation Managers.
October was the first month for my property changing over from standard tenancy to short term stays using AirBNB and I only started Oct 23.
Checkout the following months to see some better results, November was great!
Thanks for reading!
Mike
