What you need to know before starting Airbnb is you must be at least 18 years old and own your own home or have legal access to the property that also complies with the policies of Airbnb.

You must also provide proof of identity and residence and also have a valid bank account to get your money.

You also have to accurately list the property details on the Airbnb platform and maintain a good review rating from your guests.

Being of the age 18 years or older goes for anyone who wants to use Airbnb's site and services, hosts and guests alike.

In order to avoid house parties, guests under 25 can't book entire listings in some locations.

Becoming an Airbnb host is very straightforward and super easy and all you really need to do other than the above is have space to rent out, whether it's a spare room, entire house or apartment.

Airbnb walks you through the steps you need to take step by step.

I started mine with just the basics but quickly realized photos and the listing description matter a lot more than I thought. I checked out some hotel digital marketing strategies, especially around how they highlight perks and use good pictures. That helped me figure out what details to focus on in my listing—like fast Wi-Fi, flexible check-in, and local tips—that people kept mentioning in messages and reviews.
