We Started an Airbnb in Portugal - How To Do It and Lessons Learned from a Superhost

Our Rich Journey – We Started an Airbnb in Portugal - How To Do It and Lessons Learned from a Superhost: Our Airbnb in Portugal has been up and running for the past couple of months and just this past week - we were just awarded the label of "superhosts" from Airbnb! Because of that, we thought it would be a good time to show you the ins and outs of starting an Airbnb in Portugal. If you want to learn more about Portugal's Airbnb licensing process, the inspection requirements in Portugal, how we set our Airbnb to run on autopilot (i.e., a passive investment!) here in Portugal, or if you just want to learn more about the Airbnb process for ANY location, check out this video!

Congrats on the Super Host status and especially running it passively, profitably.

[mayyang]

Hey guys its David here in Almada! I would just like to thank you for the consistency of amazing and beneficial content. I am starting the process of getting my NIF here in Portugal and planning to own an investment property in Lisbon.

[judithbuchanan]

Yayyyy Congratulations Amon & Christina on being super hosts 👑 & I’m so NOT surprised 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Thank you so much for brightening up my Sunday 😃.

I like how when the other person is talking you just sit there smile and look over to the other person every few seconds

[DJBartlett]

I’m planning to retire in Lisbon. I’ve been watching your videos and it gets me so excited! Airbnb is something I want to do as well! ❤️

Just came across your channel and I am loving it. Learning so much. 3 years ago my husband and I went to Terceira Island in the Azores and fell in love with the island and we are planning to retire there. We are in our 50's but basically starting all over again economically since we lost everything about 7 years ago. Not easy but we are taking baby steps to a good retirement. Glad I found you guys.

Keep up the great work! People love to tell you owning property or multiple properties is hard. So is getting up everyday going to work.

[EngineeredMojo]

Great update in the airbnb experience, appreciate the insight you all provide.

[carianin]

Safety is always a concern when traveling out of the country. Having contacts that you know is always a plus. Thanks for sharing all your valuable content. Talk about a magic touch!♥

[mashanti_worldwide]

Agree very much with your insights on instant booking. Again, well done.

[sharminrahman]

you guys have the midas touch, everything you touch turns to

[patriciafilipeguerreiro]

This video was so hepful! Me and my family invested in a property in Alentejo to use as an Airbnb and we had a lot of questions! Your video gave us the kick start that we needed! Thank you!

[siphokazisibahledlamini]

You guys are so generous with knowledge. Thank you

[msciara]

Greetings Guys ! Great video. As an owner of a Parisian flat that I use as short term rentals. I started mine pre covid and learned a lot through the years. Your video will save folks time and effort. Instant booking is horrific..I wish I had known back in the day.. Merci

[Goodlifexplorers]

So informative! Thanks for sharing your experience. Could you expand a bit on what it costs to run the Airbnb in Portugal- cost of cleaning, utilities and maintenance? Also I was curious if when you say you are running a $3, 000 profit if you include the cost of purchase in your calculations or just expenses of running it… thank you!

[tracykang]

Hi Amon, Christina!
I magically found your video just before the Christmas last yr.
I am learning so much so that I decided to invest a little money that was sitting in savings.

My sister and I eventually want buy a small property and would like to run a Airbnb myself.

Thanks million for this valuable information! Hope to meet you guys in person someday!!

I think you made a good choice for your investment, the Silver Coast is a good area to invest, still not on most tourists' itineraries, but I expect it to change. I've been visiting cute towns and cities in the region, lots of potential for tourism there 😊
