B and B Properties

Here's To Your Profitable Bed And Breakfast B & B Properties As a new or previous owner, B & B properties are essential to your operation. Buying new or used is an option to be considered upon your decision to purchase. Existing B & B properties have the added benefit that they are already set up to run and in some sales may include the staff. Taking over ownership of a B & B can be an easier transition than starting from the ground up. It may be the perfect deal for the seller too if they are at the age of retirement. Scoping out your ideal B & B properties might involve heading to the beach. More businesses are setting up right on or nearby the tourist attractions that draw people to the area. A bed and breakfast location right on the beach front or in the vicinity of some other enticing and romantic setting would be sure to score as one of the B & B properties to visit. If you’re not in a position to buy, there are many B & B properties for rent or lease. In most cases the building is already in the right place and just needs your personal touch and expertise to bring it to life. Get acquainted with what it is people look for in an inviting place to stay while away from home. Do your best to give it to them. It will take time and a lot of dedication to find your place in this market niche. Plan well and your perseverance will pay off.

Unfortunately, there aren't any great college courses on "How To Start A Profitable Bed and Breakfast". (And if there are, they are probably taught by someone who's never owned one!) The statistics don't lie. Most B&B's aren't making a lot of money, and are hard to sell. We became frustrated seeing unsuspecting new owners lose their dreams (and their nest eggs). Sometimes it's just a lack of insider information that causes their operations to not meet their expectations. Especially for an older b&b rookie, this can be devastating in what should be their happy twilight "smell-the-roses" years. We have put together a special quiz so you can test and see whether you current bed and breakfast business knowledge is based on today's industry realities, a romantic notion, or b&b information and training that was valid 20 years ago. (Newsflash: times have REALLY changed!) It is our hope that this quiz, and the answers, might stop the growing statistics of b&b owners losing their dreams. So, before you spend your hard earned money acquiring and opening your B&B, we urge you to try the quiz. Take The B&B industry quiz (click here)! There are very successful bed and breakfast operators. There is a HUGE number of well meaning, hard working rookie owners who simply aren't aware of the "insider secrets" to creating a profitable b&b.
