He explains how to overcome the fact that many agents do not feel comfortable letting properties to people who are going to then list it on Airbnb and booking.com. The strategy Kevin shares is an easy one that even a brand-new company can successfully use. It includes an effective way to find new commercial clients for your properties. A method that you can continue to use to keep your property full.   How to establish a professional-looking SAP company and find customers, even before you have a portfolio of properties, is also covered in this podcast.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The resistance letting agents have, to renting to people they know are going to list it on Airbnb etc, can be overcome. It is possible to get your guests lined up in advance before approaching the agent. You need to be professional and set up a proper Ltd company, which costs very little. A SAP company´s website needs to be country-specific. You do not have to have properties available before setting up your website. There are dozens of places to find potential clients and approach them, Kevin several of them in the podcast. Once you have set up and been running a successful R2SA with an agent they will happily rent more properties to you. You do not need to be an established company to make this business model work. Not being able to pass credit reference checks is not a difficult issue to overcome. There are multiple ways for you to get bookings for the property that you rent from the agent.     BEST MOMENTS ‘You have so much more volition when you are going to the letting agent with your guests already lined up,’ ‘With letting agents, you represent more money for them when you're walking in the door. ‘ ‘I'm talking about having multiple ways of getting bookings.’   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Serviced Accommodation Property Podcast https://propertysoldier.co.uk/ Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T Kiyosaki Serviced Accommodation Success by Kevin Poneskis   ABOUT THE HOST Your host Kevin Poneskis enjoys public speaking, travelling, exercising, and keeping fit.
