How to make money from your home

I’m Lara Cross and I’ve been managing rental properties on Airbnb and other short-term rental platforms for over 10 years.

Short term rentals have been growing at an extraordinary rate over the past few years with Airbnb now hosting over 6 million listings worldwide for 4 million hosts.

I started out listing my primary residence while I was away on holiday, to help pay for trips and to make some extra money. As my children have grown up and left home, I’ve been able to provide more availability on my calendar and I now regularly host guests from all over the world. I have learnt a lot along the way and as the landscape of hosting changes, I continue to learn and adapt.

I started Heaver House to help people do what I’ve done, but without all the hassle and all the mistakes!

Join me on one of my workshops at Heaver House in London where I share my knowledge and experience about how to set up and get started on Airbnb.

Alternatively, I can come straight to your home for a consultation and can help you get set up from scratch and leave with you all the tools to run your own successful Airbnb. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you.
