Our Airbnb Lost Money, Should We Quit? + Adding an OMG Feature (Part 3)

In this week's episode, join us as we take an honest look at our summer earnings and reveal what we made with our short-term rental Airbnb in the month of July. We're baring it all, and the question on our minds is: Are we crazy for adding yet another feature to our property?

But that's not all! We decided to treat ourselves to a well-deserved day off, something that rarely happens in our busy lives. We'll take you along as we explore downtown Joshua Tree, hitting up some of our favorite spots. First up, we'll savor the delightful brews at Joshua Tree Coffee Co., which has just opened its doors. Then, we'll soak in the vibrant atmosphere of the Joshua Tree Farmers Market and enjoy a delicious meal at one of our breakfast favorites, Crossroads Cafe.

And if you've been eagerly awaiting updates on the OMG feature we're adding to our Airbnb, your patience is about to pay off. It's an all-hands-on-deck situation as we're joined by our friend Roy English of Jagwar Twin. Together, we're diving headfirst into the next phase of this exciting project.

Thanks for joining us as we navigate through the trials and triumphs of our DIY adventures and a big thank you for all of the support always... we appreciate YOU!

New to our channel? Well, hi there! We're Kristen and Michael, a couple embarking on a wild adventure of transforming our dream desert home into a short-term rental biz!

As crazy as it sounds, we decided to ditch our beloved Los Angeles (which we called home for 7 years) and chase our wildest dreams of owning a piece of land in California. And guess what? We did it! We finally bought our desert house in the summer of 2021, and we've been DIY-ing our hearts out ever since!

We're talking about an (almost) complete renovation, from top to bottom! But that's not all! We're also building our business from scratch, with the goal of sharing our little oasis with our family, friends, and even strangers from all over the world.

So come on and join us on this crazy ride! We promise it'll be full of laughs, tears, and lots of DIY fails (and wins!). Welcome to our channel!
