We should have quit after this… On our very first Airbnb that we owned… Our first guest stole over $15,000 in furnishings. TVs. Decor. Furniture. Gone. We were brand new. No experience. No playbook. And suddenly we were staring at an empty house wondering what we had just gotten ourselves into. When this happened to us, it literally felt like the end of the world. I was so embarrassed. So frustrated. So ashamed that we had messed up that badly. We could have cried about it. We could have said, “This was a mistake.” We could have walked away before it got worse. Instead… we chose to keep going. It was a hard lesson learned. School of hard knocks? Absolutely. But here’s what happened next: We got every dollar back. Replaced everything in 3 days. And had new guests checking in 3 days later. Back up and running. Seven years later… We’re multi–7 figure hosts. And boy have we learned a lot. That disaster didn’t destroy us. It forced us to build better systems, better screening, better protection. Most people don’t fail because the business doesn’t work. They fail because they quit after the first punch. If you want to learn the lessons we learned the hard way — so you don’t have to — Comment LEARN and we’ll show you how to build your Airbnb business the smart way.

I run a multi-six figure Airbnb business and there are still things I refuse to buy for our properties. Not because we can’t afford them. But because a lot of “host upgrades” are actually profit killers. Most new hosts spend money on things that look nice… …but don’t increase bookings, reviews, or nightly rates. Here are a few things I almost never buy 👇 1. Cheap furniture that won’t survive guests Buying inexpensive pieces sounds smart… until you’re replacing them every 6 months. 2. Colored bedding Guests trust what they can see. White sheets signal cleanliness and professionalism. 3. Fragile decor If you have to worry about it breaking every stay… it doesn’t belong in a short-term rental. 4. Overly complicated smart home tech If guests need instructions to turn on the lights… it’s too complicated. 5. Amenities that don’t increase bookings We only invest in upgrades that actually drive revenue (hot tubs, great outdoor spaces, design themes). 6. “Pinterest” design without strategy Pretty is nice. Bookable is what matters. 7. Tiny towels or limited supplies Nothing kills reviews faster than guests feeling like the host cheaped out. 8. Random furniture layouts Every property should be designed for groups, photos, and guest flow. 9. Excessive kitchen gadgets Guests use about 10% of what hosts provide. 10. Anything that doesn’t improve guest experience OR revenue Every purchase should answer one question: 👉 Will this increase bookings, reviews, or nightly rate? If the answer is no… we skip it. That mindset is how we scaled to 85+ Airbnbs and built a multi-six figure hosting business.

Here’s the deets: 📊 The STR Finance Playbook 📅 Wednesday, April 30th @ 4PM MST 🎟️ Tickets: $97 USD We’re breaking down: ✅ How to track real profit per property ✅ The tools we use to automate 99% of our bookkeeping ✅ How to structure your finances so you can grow with clarity (not chaos) 📲 Comment “Finance” below and we’ll send you the registration link.

Are you behind the times??👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Security deposits are such a hassle to hold and refund There’s a better way — especially if you’re hosting across platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or taking direct bookings. Let’s be real… Aircover sounds good on paper — but it’s slow, inconsistent, and heavily favors the guest. If you’re relying on it to protect your property, you're playing a risky game. Here’s what we do instead (and what we teach our students to do too): 1️⃣ Screen smart – We require all guests to be over 25, listed on the reservation, and submit government ID. If someone refuses? 🚩 Major red flag. 2️⃣ Rental agreement is non-negotiable – Every guest signs. It outlines our house rules clearly so there are no surprises. Good fences = good guests. 3️⃣ Real insurance that actually protects us – We use @truvi.official for every reservation. It’s built into the booking, has $0 deductible coverage, and protects us even if someone breaks a wine glass or stains a towel — on ANY platform. 🎯 And if you want to learn how to protect your business, scale faster, and stop spinning your wheels — you need to be in our incubator community! Want access to our strategies, tools, and frameworks — without spending a dime? Here’s what you’ll unlock inside our free STR Wealth Academy app: ✅ How to audit & analyze new properties (even if you’re just getting started) ✅ How to set up listings that are profitable from day one ✅ The exact systems we use to automate operations across 70+ units ✅ STR-specific marketing strategies no one else is teaching This is where we drop the real game. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just proven strategies that actually help you grow. 🔥 Comment “APP” and we’ll send you the link to join our free Incubator community. You’ll get direct access to trainings, tools, and support from hosts who are actually doing it. #strcoach #airbnbhost #vacationrentalbusiness #strwealthacademy #shorttermrentals #automateyourairbnb #airbnbmarketing #airbnbbusiness #hospitalityentrepreneur #scaleyourstr #airbnbautomation #passiveincome #realestateinvestor

Seven years ago we had zero properties. Today we own 7, manage 78 more, and our company generates $250K–$400K+ per month. But the real flex? We don’t miss our kids growing up. This didn’t start with money. It started with a decision. If you’re ready to build an Airbnb business that funds freedom — not burnout — Comment START and we’ll show you how to join the Incubator.

What most people don’t realize about running an Airbnb 👇 1️⃣ Most properties don’t actually cash flow A lot of hosts buy the wrong property. They chase cheap homes instead of high-demand guest experiences. We’ve seen hosts buy properties that only make a few hundred dollars a month… while the right property can generate $8K–$15K per month. The difference is strategy. 2️⃣ Amenities change everything Things like hot tubs, fire pits, saunas, and games rooms can dramatically increase revenue. One of our properties generated over $50K last year just from pet fees and add-ons alone. Small upgrades can create massive returns. 3️⃣ Airbnb is NOT passive (at first) Guest messages. Cleaning coordination. Pricing adjustments. Maintenance issues. Until you install the right systems and team, it’s very hands-on. It took us years to build the systems that allow us to operate 85+ properties today. 4️⃣ Design is what wins bookings Guests don’t book square footage. They book experiences. A well-designed 1,200 sqft property can outperform a boring 3,000 sqft house. 5️⃣ Systems determine everything Most hosts burn out because they’re stuck doing everything themselves. But when you build the right systems, you can scale without being trapped in the day-to-day. That’s exactly what we teach inside our community. If you want to learn how to: • find the right STR properties • increase revenue with the right amenities • install systems that remove you from the day-to-day • scale your Airbnb business the right way ✨️ Comment START and we’ll send you the link to join our private STR Incubator community.

Imagine being 67 and realizing you missed evenings like this… Because you were busy working a job that gave you a 2% raise but took 90% of your life. That thought stuck with me. For years I worked a traditional job, trading time for money like everyone else. And while there’s nothing wrong with that path… I realized something: Time is the one thing you never get back. That’s a big part of why Katrina and I went all-in on building our Airbnb business. Not just for the income. But for the freedom it could create. Freedom to: • build something of our own • control our schedule • spend more time with our family • design life on our terms Fast forward to today… We’ve built a portfolio of 85+ Airbnbs and helped hundreds of students start and scale their own short-term rental businesses. But the real win isn’t the properties. It’s the time freedom. More dinners together. More evenings like this. More moments that actually matter. Because at the end of the day… No one looks back and wishes they spent more time at the office. If you’ve been thinking about building something of your own, maybe this is your sign. Comment START and we’ll send you the details for our STR Incubator community, where we teach hosts how to build profitable short-term rental businesses. Your future self will thank you.

Most hosts don’t even realize this is possible… But this one strategy completely changed the income potential of one of our properties. Let’s break it down. We have a duplex close to downtown in our city. One side is a 5-bedroom house The other side is a 4-bedroom house Most hosts would simply list them separately. But we looked at it differently. Instead of two listings… We created a third listing. A 9-bedroom version of the property. This is called a Parent-Child Listing Strategy inside @hospitable_com Here’s how it works: ➡ Listing #1: The 5-bedroom home ➡ Listing #2: The 4-bedroom home ➡ Listing #3: A 9-bedroom listing combining both units So now guests can book: • One side of the duplex • The other side • Or the entire property together And that’s where things get interesting. Because there is only ONE other listing in our entire city with this many bedrooms. Which means we’re attracting a completely different guest. Corporate retreats. Large family reunions. Wedding groups. We recently had a booking come through for $8,825 for 5 nights. Same property. Just packaged differently. We basically found the glitch in the matrix. This is one of the many ways we optimize listings to unlock hidden revenue. Most hosts think they need more properties to make more money. Often they just need to maximize the ones they already have.

Seven years ago… We didn’t own property. We didn’t have 85 listings. We didn’t have a Nordic spa build underway. We didn’t have $3.4M in annual bookings. We had belief. And we had a decision. A decision to stop waiting. A decision to stop overthinking. A decision to build something that gave us control over our time, income, and future. The first deal wasn’t glamorous. The first listing wasn’t perfect. The first year wasn’t easy. But we didn’t need perfect. We needed momentum. What most people don’t realize is this: You don’t need to own 10 properties. You don’t need millions in capital. You don’t need to quit your job tomorrow. You need a blueprint. The same systems that now support 85+ listings and millions in revenue are the same systems we wish we had on day one. If you’re sitting there thinking “I want to start… but I don’t know how” you’re exactly where we were 7 years ago. And to think… this all started with zero properties and a willingness to bet on ourselves. If you’re ready to build your own version of this story: Comment START and we’ll show you how to join the Incubator and build your Airbnb business the right way — with systems, leverage, and a clear path forward.

Two weeks from now… Units #88, #89 and #90 will go live. And honestly — every property we launch keeps getting better and better. This one is a 3,000 sq ft home designed specifically for short-term rentals: • Entire upstairs unit • Separate downstairs suite • Hot tub • Air conditioning • Designed for large groups • And an Oilers themed experience for fans visiting Edmonton This is a STR management client property, and we structured it to create multiple revenue streams from one home. Most hosts look at a house like this and think: “Nice property.” We look at it and think: “How many listings can we create from this?” “How do we design it to dominate our market?” “How do we make it impossible for guests to compare us on price?” That’s the difference between owning Airbnbs and building an Airbnb business. If you want to learn how we analyze properties, structure deals, and scale portfolios like this… Comment START and we’ll send you the details to join our STR Incubator community. 🚀

No one tells you this when you start Airbnb… It’s not passive. It’s not easy. And more doors won’t magically fix your income. After 7 years, 7 owned properties, 78 managed, and building a multi-7 figure hosting company… Here’s what we know: 1️⃣ Airbnb is not mailbox money. Unless you build systems, install automation, and create a team — you are the bottleneck. Freedom is engineered. 2️⃣ More properties doesn’t mean more profit. We’ve owned properties that made a few hundred a month… While others made $10K+ monthly profit with the same operational effort. Energy is fixed. Profit is not. Choose better assets. 3️⃣ The fastest way to grow is borrowing experience. Mentorship is cheaper than mistakes. Every single time. If you want to shortcut the trial and error… Comment START to join our Incubator community for $97 and learn how to build this the right way. Stop guessing. Start building.

Airbnb has removed the automatic ranking boost for new listings, meaning mediocre launches now lead to immediate burial. Today's algorithm tracks engagement from day one, so you must treat every listing like a high-stakes product launch to avoid a permanent visibility hole.

We had a guest try to extort us last week. 😮‍💨 And here’s exactly how we shut it down (with receipts)… 👇🏼 They messaged asking for monetary compensation because they were upset about hearing footsteps from the family upstairs — during normal daytime hours. We were shocked… especially because we disclose this clearly in our listing. But it gets worse: They implied they’d leave a bad review if we didn’t give them a refund. 🤯 Lucky for us, we’d just had a call with an Airbnb Market Coordinator who explained how Airbnb defines extortion: 📌 The guest has to request a specific monetary amount 📌 It has to be in exchange for a review change or threat Armed with that info, we replied back—very clearly—and used their own message to confirm they were asking for money in exchange for not leaving a negative review. The result? We submitted this to Airbnb, and they are now investigating. 🎯 There are entire Facebook groups out there where “professional guests” share tactics for scamming or threatening Airbnb hosts. This is why having a paper trail, following policy, and understanding Airbnb’s review system is critical to protecting your listings and your income. Ever dealt with a guest like this before? Let us know in the comments. 👇🏼 👇🏼 Save this post in case you ever need to prove review extortion. #airbnbhost #shorttermrental #strhosttips #airbnbtips #airbnbdrama #airbnbnightmare #airbnbguest #airbnblife #airbnbsuperhost #airbnbreview #airbnbscam #strwealthacademy #airbnbcanada #vacationrentalhost #hostlife #airbnbowner #passiveincome #realestateinvesting #rentalproperty

You didn’t start this business just to build another job for yourself. You started it for freedom. But if your business can’t run without you… 🔁 You don’t have a business. You have a job - and a 24/7 at that. What’s missing? → Clear systems → Delegated operations → A profit-focused plan We had the same problem, until we just simply installed a better system so our business could run without us. We call it STROS: The Short-Term Rental Operating System. And it’s how we scaled our portfolio, took back our time, and unplugged for 3 weeks in Italy—without a single emergency call. Want to find out what’s breaking your business (and what to fix first)? 🎯 Download our free STR Business Audit by commenting “Audit” and we’ll send you an invite to join our free community where we’re helping hosts to build systems, boost profits, and be able to run their short term rental business in under 10 hours per week. 👇 Then tell us in the comments: What’s the #1 thing keeping you stuck in the day-to-day right now?

Half of 2025 is nearly over. Be honest… are you any closer to your financial goals than you were in January? If the answer is no — it’s not because the opportunity doesn’t exist. It’s because you’re still doing the same things, expecting different results. We built an Airbnb business that gives us daily payouts and complete lifestyle freedom. Here’s what’s really crazy though… you can do this without owning or leasing a single property. It gave us time back with our daughter. Freedom to travel. And the income to live life on our terms. You can do the same. But you’ve got to take the first step. Comment “APP” and we’ll send you the exact steps to launch your own Airbnb business using other people’s properties. 👉🏼 Follow for more tips on passive income ‼️ FOLLOW FOR MORE ➡️ @strwealthacademy LIKE SAVE & FOLLOW 📲 @strwealthacademy 💰 @strwealthacademy 🔥 @strwealthacademy #AirbnbEntrepreneur #AirbnbBusinessModel #airbnbmanagement #airbnbcoach #airbnbsuperhost #passiveincome #strwealthacademy #financialfreedom #shorttermrentals #airbnbwithoutowning #rentalarbitrage #scaleyourbusiness #sidehustleideas #realestateinvesting

This isn’t luck. It’s leverage—and a system we call STROS. Here’s how it works 👇 🧠 Strategy: You stop chasing “more listings” and start building with intention. 👥 Team: You delegate with clarity, not chaos—so things don’t fall apart when you leave. 📈 Revenue: You track what matters (profit, not just revenue) and scale the right properties. ⚙️ Operations: You document, systemize, and automate so the day-to-day stops depending on you. 🖥️ Systems: You install a tech stack that runs in the background like a machine. It’s not magic. It’s a framework—and we’ll show you how to build it inside our app. 🎯 Start with the STR Business Self-Audit (it’s free) It’ll show you exactly where your business is leaking time, energy, and money. 📲 Link’s in bio to download the app + grab the audit now. Let’s build a business that gives you your life back.
