If you're investing in Airbnb to create more cash flow and financial freedom, there's a major change happening that could quietly cost you thousands of dollars if your pricing tech stack aren't set up correctly. We discovered this after one Airbnb investor suddenly started booking like crazy—only to realize months of inventory had been sold at around $100 a night because her pricing systems had disconnected. So Culin spent days digging into the issue, testing it across our own portfolio of 14 properties and the listings we help manage, to figure out exactly what's happening and how to fix it. In this episode, we're breaking down Airbnb's new single-fee model, the pricing disconnect you need to watch for, and exactly what to check in Airbnb, PriceLabs, and your PMS before September 15th—so you can protect your cash flow and keep your Airbnb investment working toward the financial freedom you built it for. Topics discussed in this episode: What Airbnb's new single-fee model means for investors and hosts The pricing disconnect that could quietly cost you thousands in revenue How to adjust your Airbnb pricing to account for the new fee structure How to test your pricing setup from end to end before it costs you bookings The warning sign hiding behind a sudden surge in Airbnb bookings Why Airbnb pricing isn't "set it and forget it"—and the simple weekly check that can protect your cash flow - CONNECT WITH THE HOST COACHES - Book a free 30-minute call to go over your Airbnb price settings with Culin: https://calendly.com/host_coach Our Airbnb Advice Blog, Classes & Coaching: www.hostcoach.co Airbnb Revenue Management: www.airbnbrevenuemanagement.com
If you want to invest in Airbnb for financial freedom—but you're overwhelmed by where to buy, what actually makes a great investment, or how to maximize cash flow—this episode is for you. We just launched our 14th Airbnb: a mountain cabin we bought sight unseen that needed 76 steps built just to reach the front door, major repairs to the neighborhood road, a new driveway, and a major transformation before the first guest ever arrived. Our experiences reinforced six lessons we wish we knew when we started investing in Airbnbs. In this episode, we're breaking down those six lessons—including what we look for before we buy, where it pays to spend more, and one counterintuitive strategy that helped our cabin earn 241 4.99 star reviews. If you want to stop sitting on the Airbnb sidelines and start making smarter investment decisions this episode is for you!
You want to invest in Airbnb and build more financial freedom—but between work, kids, family, and everything else on your plate, you keep wondering: When am I actually supposed to do this?

In this episode, you'll learn how they pushed past the fear of getting started, saved money while getting their property ready, and involved family and friends without making the entire process miserable. We'll break down what they learned about timelines, sacrifices, preparing for those first guests, and the practical steps that helped them go from "Someday we should own an Airbnb" to actually becoming Airbnb hosts.

Because your first Airbnb doesn't have to be perfect to be profitable.
