Airbnb Insight Alert!
We have an Airbnb Expert sharing all the goss!
James provides insights on the art of convincing owners or real estate agents to let you Airbnb their place, starting without any capital, selecting the right furniture to maximize income, and mastering the pricing and occupancy aspects.
From location, property type, styling, photos, copy, response rate, and reviews to nightly rates and occupancy, every detail interlinks to impact net profit. An average listing could cost you a whopping $20k a year in lost profits compared to a well-managed one.
And let’s not forget the importance of a 5-star cleaning routine and how to prevent parties and noise complaints.
