Commercial, Investment
Any up-and-coming investor or entrepreneur wanting to dabble in the real estate space can find a good match with a bed and breakfast or more commonly known as a B&B. True to its name, a bed and breakfast is a small establishment that offers guests a place to stay at night and breakfast in the morning. Typically they are private family homes converted into a bed and breakfast or a very small hotel, often, with the hosts living on the same property.
Advantages of running your own bed and breakfast
- Full control of the business — Owners of bed and breakfasts are in full control of everything, from the atmosphere they want to create, the design of the common areas, and so on. While there are general rental rates in different areas, you can price your property higher if you have more to offer or if the service you offer is up to par.
- Freedom to market the business — A bed and breakfast can typically market itself to the distinct demographics of the area, with most of your occupants either tourists or couples who are on vacation. But the good side to this is that you can create your own listings by sharing them on different platforms and sites from AirBnB to Facebook Marketplace or even on online booking engines such as Agoda or Booking.com.
- Flexible schedule — B&Bs aren’t held up to the same standards as typical hotels and you have control of the kind of schedule you want to have. You can make the B&B work for you and can turn it into a weekend-only opportunity if you would need to make use of the property on weekdays. In the case of a fully-booked week, you are free to not open the B&B the next week to give yourself a break. Similarly, since you only have a limited number of rooms, this allows you to be more flexible in terms of the check-in and check-out times of your guests depending on the occupancy you have.
- Minimal investment required — A bed and breakfast is a good choice because the capital investment required isn’t as big as how much it would cost to buy and operate hotels. This can even be made cheaper if you already own the property you want to convert into a B&B.
