Auburn, WA 98092 Co-Listing with Craigslist: Top 20 Steps with Expanded Scenarios and Documents (3x Version)
Co-Listing is an innovative way to enter the Airbnb business without owning property, and this guide walks you through a detailed, step-by-step case study of how to implement it in Auburn, WA (ZIP 98092) using Craigslist. Based on the 10xBnB team’s strategies, this expanded version triples the depth of the previous instructions, offering two detailed scenarios, letters, statements, or forms for each step. Our fictional beginner, "Minsu," will navigate this process, and you can follow along or adapt these steps to your own location.
Step 1: Set Goals and Understand the Basics
Expanded Description: Minsu, a newcomer to Airbnb, dreams of earning extra income but lacks the funds to buy property. Co-Listing—partnering with property owners to manage their homes on Airbnb and share profits—becomes his solution. He starts by researching the concept thoroughly, watching free resources like the 10xBnB webinar and reading blog posts to grasp how it works. His goal: earn $500/month in Auburn within six months.
Scenario/Document 1: Detailed Goal-Setting Journal Entry
Content:
"March 28, 2025—Today, I, Minsu, decided to dive into Co-Listing with a clear target: $500/month profit by September 2025 in Auburn, WA (98092). I watched the 10xBnB free webinar (30 minutes) on their site (learn.10xbnb.com), which explained how Co-Listing lets me manage someone else’s property on Airbnb without owning it. Key takeaway: I need a property owner willing to partner, and I’ll handle operations for a cut of the revenue (aiming for 25-30%). My first milestone is securing one property by June. I’ll need to learn pricing, guest management, and owner negotiations. Feeling excited but nervous—time to research Auburn’s market next!"

"Co-Listing Basics Checklist (Minsu’s Notes):
-
Definition: Partner with a property owner, list their home on Airbnb, split profits. (Webinar: ‘No property? No problem!’)
-
10xBnB Intro: Watched free webinar—Shaun and Ari explained ‘Bed Flipping’ (renting beds you don’t own). Took notes on their 5-step system: find owners, pitch, contract, list, manage.
-
Research: Need to read 10xBnB FAQ and Airbnb’s ‘Hosting Basics’ guide by next week.
-
Notes: Co-Listing is low-risk since I don’t buy anything, but success depends on finding cooperative owners and a good market. Auburn seems promising—let’s confirm."
Step 2: Research the Local Market
Expanded Description: Minsu investigates whether Auburn, WA 98092 is viable for Co-Listing. He uses Airbnb to check demand (average rates, occupancy), visits the city website for regulations, and browses Craigslist to gauge rental supply. Auburn’s proximity to Seattle and its family-friendly vibe suggest potential for short-term rentals (STRs). He learns STRs are allowed with no major restrictions.

This ensures he targets local listings efficiently.

He looks for listings stagnant for 15+ days—e.g., a “4bed house, $2,500/month” posted 20 days ago—assuming these owners might be frustrated with long-term renting and open to STRs. He compiles a shortlist to contact.
