What Is A Typical Airbnb Arbitrage?Airbnb arbitrage is a real estate strategy where an individual or company leases a property long-term, furnishes it, and rents it out on short-term platforms like Airbnb for higher nightly rates, aiming to cover expenses and make a profit. Success depends on maintaining high occupancy and careful management, with some potential regulatory and market risks to consider.
-
Are There Any Issues With The City Or HOA To Do Arbitrage There?We've taken proactive steps to ensure a smooth Airbnb arbitrage experience with Zootel. Located outside city limits, our properties have received all necessary clearances from government officials and the fire marshal for short-term rentals (STR). Importantly, there is no Homeowners Association (HOA) in place, granting us full authorization to operate Zootel on our properties as landlords. Your investment is backed by our commitment to legal compliance and a hassle-free experience.
-
Am I Responsible For Furnishing The Houses?No, every Zootel property will be fully furnished to ensure a consistent and high-quality guest experience. However, you are more than welcome to add your personal touch and creative ideas to make your building stand out from the others. While we encourage personalization, any additions should be in line with the project's guidelines to maintain consistency and quality. Your enhancements should enhance the guest experience without detracting from the structural plans. We are open to discussing your specific ideas and preferences to ensure they align with the project's vision.
-
Do You Still Have Any Of The 38 Opportunities Available? If So, Which Cabin Types?As of November 9, 2023, yes, we still have all the opportunities available. We recently introduced these houses to the market, and they have already generated a significant amount of interest. Until deposits are paid, all of these properties will remain available. However, I must note that they won't last long due to the high interest and big ROI, so I recommend making your selection promptly and put in your deposit to secure the one you want.
-
When Was The Renovations Tour Video Taken, And Where Is Construction At Now?The video was recorded a few weeks ago. Since then, we've made significant progress in preparing the land for the roads and foundations. However, I want to clarify that the actual construction of the cabins has not started yet. Our immediate focus is on winterizing the animal cages to ensure their comfort during the colder months. Construction will begin as soon as we secure the necessary deposits to move forward with the project.
-
Is This Investment Almost Completely Passive Or Would Investors Have Any Active Part In The Houses?This investment opportunity is primarily passive. Zootel will handle the furnishing of the cabins, and our property management team will manage all the bookings across various platforms. Our event coordinator will also oversee block bookings for events like weddings. However, investors have the option to get more involved. You can personalize the house's decor, promote and push for additional bookings, as long as it's coordinated through our master calendar to prevent double bookings. Maintenance and care are already taken care of by our team.
-
If I Don't Live In America Can I Still Invest?Certainly! We welcome investors from all countries, and you can participate in this opportunity regardless of your location. The primary requirement is that the deposits are made in USD (United States Dollars). We look forward to welcoming international investors to be a part of this exciting venture.
-
What Happens If I Don't Break Even, Do I Get My Deposit Back?We have a strong belief in the accuracy of our projections and the capabilities of our team. We are committed to ensuring your investment is a success. We understand that it may take some time to build and show substantial profits, which is why we are offering a 36-month period to not just break even but to generate great profits. However, if you are determined to exit the investment and get your deposit back, here is our offer: After 16 months of operation (counted from the first guest booked), Zootel will gladly pay the difference between the deposit amount and the earnings up to that point and then terminate the agreement. We want to provide flexibility and financial security for our investors while ensuring the long-term success of the project.
-
What Can You Tell Me About The Occupancy Estimate Research?The occupancy estimate research was conducted by a property management company called Atomic. To ensure accuracy, we also verified their numbers with our partnered property managers at Evolve. To provide a safety net for budgets, we made slight reductions to some of the expected nightly rates.
-
How Confident Are You In The Occupancy Projections?We are absolutely confident in the occupancy projections. In fact, we are so confident that we have included a guarantee: the monthly lease will be covered by guest bookings and will never come out of investors' pockets. In the event that the occupancy falls short, Zootel will cover the costs for that month, and there will be no additional financial requirement from any of the investors. One of the key factors driving this confidence is our location near the world's largest flea market, which occurs every first Monday of the month. This event has a rich tradition spanning over 170 years and consistently draws over 300,000 visitors per month. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, it only shut down for one month. Combined with the appeal of the zoo itself, this monthly event provides a reliable source of occupancy for the cabins, further strengthening our confidence in the projections.
-
Do I Have To Hire The Cleaners?No, you do not have to hire cleaners. We will have dedicated cleaning staff living on the property who will take care of all cleaning needs. Additionally, all cleaning supplies will be covered by Zootel. It's important to note that all cleaning fees paid by the customers will be retained by Zootel. Your responsibility as an investor primarily involves the investment itself, and our team handles the operational aspects, including cleaning services and maintenance.
-
Construction Delays? Will Construction Be Ongoing While Guests Are There?Construction delays can occur due to various factors, including weather conditions, unforeseen issues, or other project-specific challenges. However, in our agreement, we've structured the financial aspects to mitigate this risk for you. You will only need to pay the deposit initially, and the monthly lease won't start until we commence booking guests. To minimize the impact of weather-related delays, we intend to use prefabricated construction methods for the units, which can significantly reduce construction time. Our goal is to ensure that all units are available for guests simultaneously, providing a seamless and enjoyable experience for our guests while minimizing the construction disruptions at the zoo.

Is Canton A Growing City? Are There Any Fortune 500 Companies Headquartered There?To determine if Canton is a growing city and whether it is home to any Fortune 500 companies, I recommend conducting your own research by consulting local economic development reports, city planning documents, and corporate directories. This will provide you with the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding Canton's economic landscape and growth trends.
-
How Long Do Guests Normally Stay?The duration of guest stays can vary, but we generally expect multiple-day bookings. This is especially true for events like weddings and the flea market, which typically span several days. For example, during the flea market, guests may opt to stay for the entire duration of the event, from Wednesday to Monday, making longer stays quite common.
-
What Is The Draw To The Guest?Canton offers a range of attractions beyond the flea market, making it a diverse and appealing destination for various types of travelers. Some key draws include: 1. Proximity to Major Cities: Canton's strategic location near major cities like Dallas, Shreveport, and Houston makes it a convenient and accessible getaway for people from various urban areas. 2. Exotic Animal Encounters: The opportunity to interact with exotic animals such as sloths, monkeys, and lemurs is a unique and captivating experience that can attract animal lovers and families. 3. Historic Flea Market:The enduring popularity of the First Monday Trade Days flea market, which has been a tradition for over 170 years, showcases the area's rich history and offers visitors a chance to explore an array of goods, food, and local culture. You can find more information about the flea market at https://www.firstmondaycanton.com These factors contribute to Canton's multifaceted appeal, making it an enticing destination for a variety of interests and demographics.

In fact, our aim is to create a diverse and inclusive investment environment that thrives on the involvement of multiple investors.

Who Are Your Competitors, And How Will You Stand Out?In a bustling market like Canton, where it attracts a substantial monthly footfall of over 300,000 visitors, the competition is fierce, offering a diverse range of accommodation options including hotels, camper parks, and Airbnb listings. The recent introduction of a $3+ million property project (https://massimomodular.com/canton-texas) further emphasizes the area's appeal for investment and potential profitability. What truly sets our venture apart is the extraordinary feature of our location within a zoo. This unique aspect promises an unparalleled experience for our guests, making our property shine amidst the competition. Moreover, our capacity to accommodate up to 328 people positions us as an attractive choice for larger groups seeking proximity and convenience. While there's a fantastic drive-through zoo approximately 30 miles away, which primarily focuses on "huff" animals like buffalo, deer, rams, and cows, we take pride in our commitment to all animal species and encourage you to visit them for a different kind of experience. Our establishment, on the other hand, specializes in exotic animals, offering guests the opportunity to have close encounters within the same "cage" as these captivating creatures. In conclusion, we recognize that competition is a healthy sign of thriving growth in the area, and we are confident that our unique location and offerings will make us a standout destination, attracting visitors to the fullest.

What Do You See As Any Downsides? (E.G., Extended Budget, Future Recession, Etc.)Our approach to mitigating risks through offering opportunities under $30,000 and providing a 16-month buyback guarantee demonstrates a commitment to investor protection and confidence in your investment strategy. Additionally, maintaining competitively priced rental rates for guests, despite industry trends of charging much higher monthly lease prices, shows a dedication to maintaining affordability and attracting guests even during potential economic fluctuations. By keeping operations in-house and managing overhead efficiently, we aim to not only remain competitive but also maximize profitability for all investors. This strategy helps insulate against some potential downsides while offering an appealing investment opportunity in the Airbnb arbitrage market.

How Can You Build So Many Houses So Quickly And Cheaply? Are They Good Quality Built To Last?The quality and durability of these houses are of paramount importance. They are constructed to meet building codes and are designed to withstand severe weather conditions, including tornadoes. Our aim is to create long-lasting structures that will not require extensive renovations or replacements in the near future. The efficiency in building these houses quickly and cost-effectively can be attributed to several key factors: 1. Prepared Land: The land has already been prepared, which significantly reduces the time and effort required for site preparation, such as land clearing and grading. This means that work can commence promptly on essential components like septic systems, foundations, and road infrastructure. 2. Heavy-Duty Prefabrication: The houses are built using heavy-duty prefabricated components. Prefabrication allows for faster construction because many elements of the structure can be manufactured in controlled environments and then assembled on-site. This speeds up the construction process and ensures consistent quality. 3. Owner's Experience and Relationships: The owner's background as a contractor with decades of experience and established industry relationships play a crucial role. It enables cost-efficient construction and minimizes labor expenses, contributing to both the speed and cost-effectiveness of the project. These factors combined make it possible to build houses quickly and affordably while maintaining a focus on long-term quality and structural integrity.
-
Is There Parking?Yes, each unit comes with dedicated parking, ensuring the convenience and comfort of our guests. Additionally, there is an onsite parking lot available at the zoo for any overflow or extra parking needs.

How Is Securty On Site? Is It Safe With All The Animals?Safety, both for our guests and our animals, is our utmost priority. We maintain a strong commitment to ensuring a secure and enjoyable experience for all. Here's how we ensure safety on-site: 1. Excellent USDA Track Record: We take great pride in our impeccable track record with the USDA, having received zero complaints. This demonstrates our dedication to the highest standards of animal care and safety, which we are fully committed to maintaining. 2. On-Site Staff: We have multiple staff members living on the property, providing continuous care and oversight for the animals. This ensures that the animals are well taken care of and their needs are met. 3. 24/7 On-Site Security: To prevent unauthorized access to the zoo during non-operational hours, we maintain 24/7 on-site security. This measure helps guarantee that only authorized individuals enter the premises, enhancing safety for both guests and animals. 4. Physical Barriers: The design of the zoo itself includes strong physical barriers to separate the animals from human areas. This not only ensures the well-being of the animals but also guarantees the safety of our guests. With these comprehensive safety measures in place, you can trust that both the animals and our guests are well-protected, making for a secure and enjoyable experience at our unique zoo.

What About Loud Noise, Will That Disturb Our Guests?It's important to note that guests at Zootel will be immersed in a natural environment, and there may be occasional sounds associated with wildlife. While the houses are designed with excellent insulation to minimize noise, it's possible that guests may hear some animal sounds from their house. This aspect of the experience adds to the uniqueness and authenticity of staying at a zoo. The sounds of wildlife can be both entertaining and special, offering a distinct and memorable experience for guests who appreciate the opportunity to sleep with nature. It's an integral part of the charm and appeal of our accommodations. **Nothing the TV can't drown out if needed.

Who Will Handle The Money And How Do I Know I Can Trust You To Pay Each Month?At Zootel, we prioritize the security and transparency of your investment.

Importantly, these financial transactions will be managed by a reputable third-party accounting firm.

After covering these expenses, the remaining profits will be fairly and promptly distributed among investors in accordance with the agreed-upon terms. This financial structure, with a third-party firm overseeing the transactions, is designed to offer you a worry-free and efficient investment experience, allowing you to concentrate on the growth and potential of your investment without the burden of payment management.
