My sister and I have been so pleased with this company. You all have covered absolutely everything possible to be successful in this Air BnB business.

So Thank you a million times! Great work🙏🏻 100% recommend💡

I joined BNBFormula not too long ago and was assigned to Coach Leslie G. as my Accountability Coach. From our first phone conversation I knew I was in good hands! Coach Leslie is professional, punctual, patient, respectful, knowledgable, relatable, accommodating, and genuinely vested in my success as a STR host. She thoroughly answered all my burning questions during each call and advised next steps with insight and experience. I was very excited but nervous about starting a remote STR since Airbnb is restricted in my area. Coach Leslie (and the entire BNBFormula Team) has been guiding me with the most up to date and helpful insider information as well as HOW to apply that information. I feel confident and successful at each step I take and I know, in large part, it is because of Coach Leslie. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Coach Leslie!

Otis Jeffers started as our Accountability Coach beginning early April just as we learned that our first rental arbitrage would not work with the Homestay owner who signed o with us because real estate law does not allow anyone but Homestay owner residents to rent rooms to long or short term renters. Homestays are plentiful in Agra, home of the Taj Mahal, and we thought they would be our go-to model for rental arbitrage. Otis immediately started us thinking creatively, refining our vision, asking if there were other nearby cities where we could work. We found the Homestay restriction for owners only renting their property to their own tenants applied to the entire country of India. We needed to find another model for short term renters so Riyaz, our property finder, went to the Minister of Tourism office to find other options to build our bnbformula thriving business in Agra. What is the model for rental arbitration is the bed and breakfast model owned by investors. In short order, Riyaz found a spacious 7 Suite building that could meet our needs. We were so excited to get back to Otis to share with him our newest possible rental arbitrage owner and property. This seven suite building of 3 floors, each 2750 s.f for a total of 8,250 s.f, including a full kitchen and dining room to seat 20, plus a roof top that we can turn into a tropical garden with a fire pit and maybe a hot tub is our first successful rental arbitrage property. The large ground floor space can function as a yoga/pilates/meditation studio open to our hotel guests and locals. Otis became enthusiastic and cheered us on to identify our vision for properties that work for rental arbitration using the Deal Analyzer. That led to our next idea exploring a small hotel of 12 rooms Riyaz found about a Km from the Taj Mahal. Otis recommended we could Ask a Coach on the bnbformula website and also suggested we use the Smart Hotel component employing automating as much as we can. Next, Riyaz found a couple small hotels so we spoke to Otis about recognizing small hotels as a good opportunity. Once again Otis answered our questions and suggested workable solutions in addition to exploring small hotel possibilities more while continuing to complete the modules, tools, bonuses, mastering the deal analyzer and watching live sessions where we can ask our questions. Otis has been exceptionally helpful to us, urging us to stay focused and keep the momentum going. If we need more capital he recommended we list our projects in the Deal Room. We scheduled our next call with Otis. He made it clear that he would also answer questions we texted to him. On our next call together we discussed with Otis our arrangements for renter arbitration with the owner of the 7 suite bed and breakfast who also needed to renew the place after years of renting the property to short term rentals.Our date to begin the rental arbitration is July1to open our Wise Villa. As Indian nationals, Riyaz and Siraj needed to apply for a license for registering the building as a bed and breakfast. As an American citizen I needed to have my US CPA apply for my Resident Tax Certificate with the IRS so I can live and work on our business in India. That should be sent to me in the next few weeks. The license for the 7 Suite Bnb arrived a week ago and has been approved by the Surveyor in Agra. Next, Riyaz and Siraj applied for their required licenses to start the BnB should be available about 7/1. Riyaz, Siraj and I hired a CPA firm in Agra in March to meet necessary legal requirements and create a workable partnership plan for the 3 of us. For our final call with Otis he recommended a 1 on 1 Zoom call with Coach Ari so we could keep moving forward with our small hotel search. Otis set up a very valuable Zoom call with Coach Ari and ourselves to clarify and refine our plans especially for small hotels. Coach Ari suggested that with our 7 Suite hotel we list each room separately and in the description paragraph we suggest that two or three suites close together could be booked together. We could do the same with small hotels for multiple guests. We have a lot of options to pair the rooms up 2 to 3 bedrooms. Ari recommended the automated Smart Locks as well as Otis and after having 2 or 3 properties we can hire a Virtual Assistant. Siraj and I have been adding messages to bnb forums like sharing our wins and getting supportive messages Putting a small hotel deal together may require more capital and we will go to the Deal Room and stay present on the bnb forums and live classes especially. We are feeling our way much easier with Otis' guidance and availability in addition to Coach Ari and more. We can see the possibilities now. Thank you, Catherine Friederich, Siraj Usmani and Riyaz Usmani

Mycah from support was very friendly and helpful in answering all of my questions and explaining to me things I didn't understand. She took the time to listen to me and helped to address my concerns in a professional, yet personal, manner. Interactions like the one I had with Mycah make BNB Formula feel more like a family. Speaking with her felt like speaking with a friend.
