Episode Description from the Publisher

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
