Being a property owner gives you a greater advantage and reduces the cost of starting your Airbnb business. If you don’t own any property and still want to venture into business, there is still hope for you because you may decide to rent an apartment or even a home.
Once you have rented your property, it’s time to prepare your guest’s space. The space should be luxurious and comfortable to you clients. Fit for your space with quality furniture and electronics of your choice
Make sure that your rooms are ever clean. In this case you will be required to hire someone to clean the rooms every time.
NB: you can start your Airbnb business with any amount that can handle all the requirements. You amount will determine the size business. The higher the amount the higher business hence the profits will also be higher.

REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE A MUST IN AN AIRBNB GUEST HOSTING.
