100K a year passive, right? Yep. Which is great for most people. That could be life-changing. Life-changing. Yeah, that's cool. And with Trump in office now, I'm assuming the real estate market's going to be better, right? I hope so. I mean, crypto's already feeling it. Goddamn. Yeah. Yeah, we see it. We saw the boost there kicking up. It's like 20K jumped up.
Yeah. Bitcoin's up 10% to the... 10%. It's at almost $90,000 as of right now. All right, guys, we got Brandon here today. We're going to talk Airbnb, real estate, and we'll see what else we talk about. Thanks for coming on, man. Thanks for having me. Yeah. How's the Airbnb stuff doing?
It's good. My portfolio is good. There's a lot of fear in the market with the Airbnb bust, but if you do Airbnb right, I found it to be very lucrative. So that bust, did it wipe out a lot of sellers? It's an oversaturated market right now. you have a lot of people jumping in the game and they are,
just throwing furniture in they're not spending enough money to invest in a good home and advertise it well so they'll do they'll buy a lot of stuff off facebook marketplace they'll do ikea furniture just really cheap but with our properties i found that you put in enough capital and market it well uh and this this is like accent walls you know doing wallpaper paint uh just making it a scroll stopping design
it kills it it does it does really well so um yeah we we do we do really good so yeah because you got to separate yourself from everyone else exactly yeah there's a lot of competition out there and need to stand out. And a lot of it too is Airbnb is an interest-based algorithm. So if we try to optimize for that, we're setting up the listings and we're picking certain photos.
You can add a little bit of mystery, get people as they're scrolling through Airbnb to want to know more, see more of your photos, click into it, play with the listing. And Airbnb, the algorithm picks that up. And you get impressions, you get clicks and conversions. And that helps boost your ranking, put you on first page search on Airbnb. Nice. When did the algorithm start getting incorporated?
The interest-based algorithm? Yeah. I'm not sure of the year. I think it's always been based on interest-based algorithm to kind of gauge people's interest in wanting to go stay at a place. And the more a listing gets played with, the more it appears on top of search. Airbnb wants to list the best listings first. They want people when they're coming to their platform to see that.
I mean, you can imagine if you were going there and you just saw
a bunch of dumpy houses you probably wouldn't book anything so in this case they're putting some of the best inventory first and um and they mix it in i mean if a part of the algorithm if you have a new listing they push you to the top for 30 days and that's something with my portfolio you know we do property management as well for other people we take advantage of that 30-day window
