Setting up an Airbnb looks simple until you're actually doing it. Which model to pick, what prerequisites you actually need in place, how to price, what guests really care about versus what you assume they care about. This call gets into all of it with more fundamental questions too - what is your goal - it could be financial, aspirational, for-fun - there are no right or wrong answers, but the reason determines the strategy and steps.

We'll start with the property side of things:

  • Figuring out the right model for you - ownership, rental, management, or others . Each one changes your numbers and your risk completely.
  • What you actually need in place before you're ready to go live - the property itself (location, design, amenities), and honest revenue and expense projections.

Then we move into getting bookings and how to running the thing:

  • Listing on Airbnb the right way so it converts
  • What makes guests book, and what makes them come back or send friends your way
  • The operational stuff nobody warns you about until you're already in it

I've run this across 19 properties and sit at a 4.96 rating across 1.4k+ reviews, so this isn't guesswork, it's a lot of trial and error I'm happy to hand over so you don't have to repeat it.

And as a bonus, we'll get into how to scale once the basics are working, how to collect reviews and testimonials that actually convert people, and how to get your listing seen beyond just the app.

Come with your specific situation, whether you've already got a property or you're still deciding if this makes sense. We'll figure out the right starting point from there.
