about the key- We have since changed to a keyless entry, so no worries on people copying the key from that video shot, that lock isn't in the house anymore!
Oh great I was a bit worried!
Didn’t even think of this but wow peeps here on top of the frame by frame analysis.
she lowkey made an ad for her airbnb before it’s even ready. smart move.
Plug and chug baby. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Yep!!
@@johnabercrombie46 👍🏻
Low key? Savvy business woman, not that low key but it’s cool.
Nobody looks at KZhead videos for an airbnb
The wood ceiling could’ve been sanded and stained and would look very unique compared to just painting over it. It added character
The mirror in the bath makes it look larger and you can see your outfit when going to Coachella.
I would personally keep the door from the bathroom to the pool because (as a Floridian) it’s never ideal to have to walk inside the house to use the restroom. It is honestly more uncommon to not have a pool door! Maybe update the door to one with a larger window or frosted glass!
You might want to update it but leave the door to the bathroom so you don’t have to walk through the house from the pool or hot tub, if you don’t have an outdoor shower. Just a thought 🤷🏼♀️
💯 agree.
After living in a house with a pool and staying in a few vacation rentals with pools, that is one feature I would have appreciated.

O O F :D
Hi Monica!
Don't Subscribe to my channel Monica 😎
OHHHH! haha
Smart girls!!
I've been an Airbnb host for over eight years and there are a few things you may want to take into consideration. Just because a property's calendar is booked up does not mean it is booked by guests. Airbnb's Covid protocols require that several days be blocked out before and after each guest. It's also wise to block out days to make sure cleaning, mechanical issues, pool chemicals, and any other issues are resolved before other guests show up. You may also want to have some sort of control on how much hot water or just water in general is used. You are in a drought-prone area. If you think you have plumbing/sewer issues now, wait until six or eight people show up and start taking 45-minute showers.
5:40. "Unused space" uhh it's actually being used by two important machines.
😂😂😂😂 underrated comment
😂😂😂😂 underaged compliment
And the expense to have them moved. Like are you trying to see a profit
Let her freeze with her full liquor bar! Lol
I CAN'T WAIT TO COME VISIT!!!!
hey look who it is!
me too
Love to see two strong, independent women supporting each other!! 🖤
Me too👍🏻
some people are so poor all they have is money"
What a great investment! If you rented it out every night for $500 you could pay the mortgage off in 4 years, probably sooner depending on how much you put down for the deposit!
people who watch the vlogs like i do probably know everything about this video before watching it hahaha
100% true 🤣
💯
All of them 🤣
Literally 99% won’t see thisss but god blessssssss you and be safe during these times I’m struggling to hit 4k 😪
exactly
She’s investing her KZhead money . Smart
So you're a privileged and no doubt white millennial(s) (I'm partly) who started this frenzy and overly hyped trend to popularize LA for youtubers and other impressionable people to glorify overcrowding. 😯 But only AFTER buying, you try and justify why you can't even or shouldn't by a home here LA? So you go to Palm Springs (my in-laws live there) and do the same by purchasing an investment property?! WTF!! It's these rich or new money White and Foreign Asian investors who's made our American cities unaffordable. It's the MAIN REASON why AirBnB is NOW ILLEGAL IN LOS ANGELES! Being "investors" as opposed to buying a live-in residence, is what's keeping the 62,000+ homeless population and other families and singles, from buying an acual home! This video is unnecessary bragging disguised as well meaning. 🚫 Mine is awareness and advocacy! Shall you remove it, will confirm you're hiding the truth! And I'll just post the comment and other informative content, websites/channels showing your blantant disrespect and regard." 🙄
Please, sis, don't feed nor praiset the "investors!"
Agreed. Hope all tenants are smooth.
@@missdaiseydukexoxo4781 So True.
@@missdaiseydukexoxo4781 no one is entitled to live anywhere. If it gets too expensive for you, move out.
i love your videos, i dont even plan on buying house in the near future, but you make everything so interesting haha, thank you for your work!
this comment is so accurate 😂😂
Very aesthetic with the realistic UX design.
I actually like the natural wood ceiling TBH
yeah painting it ruined it tbh
So crazy how little you get for $700,000 plus and still needs renovation.
right??? California's prices are ridiculous everywhere it seems 😂
Hahahahaha, Hi from Australia. $700,000 would be a good deal here in a nice area.
Cant wait for this ridiculous bubble to pop. Greed is out of control right now. Countless homeless on our streets because everyone wants to invest in rental property for passive income. I’ll bet eventually the homeless are gonna stand up and just start squatting. They cant all be arrested.
Wow, I think Shelby is so smart. How many places can you rent for 500+ a night? This house can pay for itself in 7 years. Then it will pay her 200K a year, fully owned.
Who else can't wait for this house to be finished.
I love the natural light in there ☀️
Video is wonderful as always 🙌🏼
Wow, you can tell a LOT of work has gone into this video. This is why you’re my favourite youtuber. Even though I watched the whole process on your vlog this is still crazy to see how much has already changed!! Amazing work and best of luck!!!
Big mistake removing that backyard patio roof cover, 8 months out the year it gets 100 degrees +.... first day in that scorching sun you will say " we need a patio cover ".... rookie flipper mistakes.. investing too much, remodeling a rental house... just give it a paint job and put a for rent sign, move on to the next investment house etc....
Yeah I saw the patio removal and immediately thought “Are they going to build a different covered area” because outside in palm springs in the summer... can’t do it without a large outdoor patio. Way to hot! Umbrellas don’t cut it.
Can’t wait to see the final results.... I’m so excited 🤩
Congratulations on your Palm Springs home!! How exciting to remodel. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, so inspiring!
I absolutely love how open and transparent you have been about money!! It's so refreshing from the typical KZhead that says it "not classy" to discuss money. These types of videos are probably incredibly helpful to people already in or wanting to get into the vacation rental/airbnb market.
Also, i LOVE the shape of the pool! It makes it feel like you're swimming in a natural swimming hole, as opposed to a rectangular one
we love seeing a financially savvy person share their thought process
Even though I’ve been watching all the vlogs and I feel caught up with the house reno progress, this video still gave some more insight like why y’all decided to buy in Palm Springs and why y’all decided to invest more on the yard. Real good video Shelby!! The house is already looking great! Can’t wait to book one day! 🤗
A million bucks for a shoe box, that LA vibe.
Yep, she should stay in Palm Springs!
I really like the reno so far. I hope you guys build some type of awning. I lived in Vegas for years and the heat is comparable to that of Palm Springs and I think you’re going to need some type of awning, outside of the umbrellas. 😊
Wonderful place! ❤
I feel like you should keep the door to the bathroom so that guests can quickly and easily rinse off after using the hottub or pool without having to walk all the way through the main house while people are cooking / eating.
Congratulations on your new house, buying a house is one of my goals this year 🥂🥂🥂🥂
Already off to a great start!
8 years ago in 2012 when I started investing in stock&bond my Financial advisor/Portfolio manager Hovik Morte suggested I bought some stocks that he knows will yield valuable profits and he also forecasted that these companies will triple their net-worth in a space of 8 years.I did not regret taking he's advice because I've made over 2 million in raw profits over the years.I started with 200k back then.
Damn!! I needed this, everyday I try different methods and strategies from videos I watch online I can't seem to generate a profit for myself instead my losses keep piling up, I guess it would be nice working with a pro for change it would get me lucrative ROI's.I just need to profit off my investments I feel it's time.
I feel its not just getting into the trade market that's enough, the real question is if you're making profit? Making profit of your capital you would agree is the major factor you began trading the ability to multiply your your capital, but no one ever truly exposes you to the risk behind it and the losses that could occur without proper guidance, issue with newbies is them to trying to execute the tactics and strategies of years in their few trials
Superb broker Mr Hovik morten has been to me giving me quality concept about the online market with just $5000 enrolment fee and still making me all those profits from all my investments..I'm currently on an investment plan of $8000 yielding me $18000-$21000 monthly from dividends under guidance of Hovik..Literally all I'm currently doing is "LEARNING" and "EARNING" under Hovik
Mail @
She's the best 😊
Congrats on the new house and business venture!!
Looks like you’ve picked a great house, can’t wait to see how the backyard turns out.
I literally thought you and your sister were the same person this whole time and I was so confused 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ you guys are both great, love the videos!! 😆
Oliver being in all the shots of the bedrooms was so cute 🥺
The grind is real ⚡️
Not really
I hope your dad can help you with this, he seems like such a cool handyman.
“Air heater” is my new favorite word.. Airbnb is kick ass out there seems. Good job
I’d edit out the key shot! People can screen grab it and make a duplicate from just the picture.
i probably would have just made it rentable the way it was with minor improvements. but i cant wait to see how this turns out.
Love the full before and "after "tour! Can totally see why you wanted the overhang gone- the roof looks so much better!
Omg Shelby congrats! Honestly, such a great financial move for you and Monica. I can’t wait to see the listing on AirBnB and come to stay ;)
This is gonna look awesome when you’re done. I would consider leaving the weird mirror in the bathroom. I think a lot of guests would use that to funny selfies.
True! With cool lightning it would be aesthetically pleasing
dunno what flooring you'll choose, but I would go for tiles that look like wood, I have a condo I rent out on airbnb here in Cannes (France) and people puke, or their dogs pee or poop everywhere, my advice no beige carpet!!!!! also there is a tennis tournament in palm spring, make sure to jack the price around it. google BNP Paribas Indian wells tournament.
After seeing all of the behind the scenes of filming/editing this video on your vlog channel, GREAT job! Loved the video!
Shelby, the waiting list you're going to have for air bnb is going to be insane! I hope you're ready for that place to be booked a year in advance!!
I’ve literally dreamed about visiting this house I watched that many videos on it. Also I found out recently my mom lived in Palm Springs for 3 months back in the 80s when she was living in the U.S
Congrats on your house! Can’t wait to see the final look! Looking so good already!
i would love to redo a house like that, in every part of the country that i like, and have houses i could hop to and in the meantime rent them out. even just one. the project looks so fun.
People can make a copy of your key when you show it like that. Be careful!
True, housing rental scams are rampant, it is scary.
Uh oh, I hope she sees this!!!
Yeah, make sure to change your locks!!
I feel like an expert on this topic after i’ve seen all of the vlogs about this house lmao
Almost cried when you said my sister and I...its great that you guys are close and actually invested on this Together ❤
It's so awesome to see and follow along the journey of the house reno!
Congrats. It's nice seeing your progress on your IG. I really like your content on investments, like this and the interviews you've done.
Love you, but for future reference to help keep you safe, try not to post photos or videos of keys. There's ways online for people to grab an image of it and exact copy it online. Just want to inform people 💖
Love the tour ! I watch your vlogs and hadn’t realized the master bedroom bathroom has a outdoor door ! That’s perfect for the pool !
Can't wait to see the finished house!!! So excited for you guys!
First rule of Airbnbs: *more beds = more bank*

This tip is eye-opening. Thank you!
😆
@@johnabercrombie46 you’re welcome John 😊 I’ve got more vids on my airbnb journey on my channel too if that helps
Palm springs is trying to ban airbnbs
Your jaw looks like it recovered so quickly, looks great!
yess i can’t wait to see how everything turns out!
For the bathroom you are thinking of extending you totally need a ton on counter space and good lighting around the vanity if you are thinking festivals will be big there!
This is so cool wait I didn’t know you were doing that ?! It’s also one of my goals in the future to have a Airbnb house to rent, and to make it over! :)
i think you should keep the tile up in the master!! it’s gorgeous, i say wait to get a bed frame and see if it looks good
Love how bright it is! Looking forward to see the end result
Great video Shelby! A great recap video and loving all the updates on your vlog channel also
5:00 what it isnt finished , under construction ? wow, i thought it was done. amazing house btw.
It’s actually not weird at all. Airbnb’ing a house in Palm Springs is good business. People go there year round. Very smart. Just watch out for squatters.
Palm Springs is nice! Being in the IE is a much better opportunity cost. Thanks for sharing! 🤩✨💯
Hey! I love being in grandma’s backyard. 💛🥺
shelby’s videos are the only ones where i don’t skip the sponsorships
this is such a neat idea Shelby!

I'm glad you made this video. Shows on TV never talk about the net profit from buying and selling. they completely ignore the realtor fees and makes people think they made a lot of money from buying and selling. Good call on buying in Palm springs cause you can get an amazing mid century fixer upper for still reasonable prices.
I am obsessed with this whole series! And you guys upload so fast, you never leave us waiting 🧡

🤣🤣🤣 literally!
@@missdaiseydukexoxo4781 what’s crazy is Airbnb is the only way I can afford to house myself because rents on decent places are so high now. Granted I can probably find better deals on Craigslist but that never really goes well… but yes unfortunately everyone’s travel itch from lockdown is doubling the prices from last year. I used to be able to stay in Las Vegas for $700 a month. Now it’s at least $1200. There are run down motels near the stratosphere that are like $560 a month but they’re god awful. They should be condemned. Housing in America is just ridiculous this shit needs to change somehow. Even middle America is getting pricy for no good reason.
As someone that lives in the Coachella Valley, you made a great choice. The only downside that happened recently in Palm Springs was the vacation rental policies and recent changes which include Airbnb, however a lot of people who own property or retire have a second home for passive income. Great choice and welcome to Palm Springs 🌴
It's so exciting. You've done your hw; you're doing the work; and you shall enjoy the rewards!!!
I'm excited to see what it will look like after it's all finished!
There are condos in Montebello that are in the $300's. I brought a house in that price range and a a few years it doubled in value so it's definately worth it.
Why does everyone on youtube think LA is limited to the westside and trendy hipster neighborhoods that are over priced. LA county has a lot of middle class places that are 15-20min away from staple center. People need to be introduced to sgv.
@@ruben1101 Please stop praising these young white and privileged investors! My reason will follow....
I am curious with all you are spending on renovating and buying the home when will you actually begin to see a ROI (return of investment)?
They could see it in about 10-15 years if they average $350 a night 25 days a month as long as they put all the money made towards the mortgage. Plus when they sell with the renovations and property values going up they’ll already make a profit alone. My cousin turned her tiny home into an airbnb and paid off the loan in less than two years and now makes around $3k profit a month on it. Well pre covid. She rents it to fellow nurses traveling at a large discount.
When you do your earnings updates I'd love for you to also add in all of your costs of the home from purchase, loan/mortgage, renovation costs/loans, and then compare it to your earnings. It would be really cool to follow your journey as you post in the coming years about the project and compare numbers and watch you turn your profit over!
I’m so excited to see that kitchen fully re-done it’s going to look SO good
I hope the city and the neighbors don’t give you the hard time that we got. We sold ours last year in part to constant hassle. There is a war against vacation rentals there... looks like it will be an amazing place!
CA real estate is crazy, I can't see my self living there but congrats.

Hey Shelby, you have no idea how many business ideas I got from you that I have put in place and some I'm still working on. Thank you so so so much.
This may not be "mid century modern" but I love sliding mirror/doors on closets. ( thinking about room #1) Mirrors reflect light and make rooms feel bigger. Do you think you will just go with the same style as the other rooms so they match or are you thinking of doing something different?
I didn't think "why palm springs?" I thought "how rich are you?" 🤣

I know people say “renting is throwing $$$$ down the drain” or there is no benefit to renting. I disagree. The FREEDOM you have while renting is a huge asset for me. That alone is enough of a driving force to rent.
I agree. I can't imagine committing to one place.
keep the bedroom ceiling wood 🥺it's such a clean and comfortable look & really suits that room!!
That small bedroom is beautiful! I love all the natural lighting!
Omg! At that price a house should be completely renovated and ready to be liveable.

You two have such an artistic eye - I hope you’ll be including some framed pieces of your photography on the walls.
I actually really like the mirror wall in the bathroom. It really opens up the space.

Yes, but unless you have dual citizenship somewhere, good luck getting visas.
Great video Shelby. I now realize why you have so many subscribers - you give a no nonsense perspective on real life!! Great job!!
Good job Shelby. I lived in Chino Canyon for 7 years. Keep the house as original mid-century as possible. Good luck!
