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 —

Technically, I’ve done both 🫠

On average, it costs about $105,000 for 4 years of college tuition. For private colleges, it can cost around $220,000 🤯

The crazy part about this is that they are letting kids take out massive amounts of loans for a piece of paper that doesn’t even guarantee a job that will pay back that loan, BUT, they won’t let that same student take out a loan to start a business…

I don’t necessarily regret my college experience, but I would have so much rather gotten loans to buy real estate than a college degree 🏡

Now, I’m not saying everyone shouldn’t go to college… There are definitely jobs that we need as a society that requires a college degree.

I’m just saying that if you aren’t interested in those jobs, look at other options…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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…

What every Airbnb/STR bedroom should have 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

1. A full length mirror

2. Blackout curtains/blinds

3. Somewhere for guests to hang clothes + a luggage rack

4. A light source other than overhead lighting

5. WHITE, high-thread-count sheets (we go all-in with organic cotton sateen 🌿)

6. Two soft + two firm sleeping pillows for max comfort

These are non-negotiables in our brand standard — and they’ve helped us:

✅ Command higher rates
✅ Create consistent 5-star experiences
✅ Build trust and repeat bookings across our portfolio

No matter the unit, the standard is the same — and guests feel it.
That’s how you build a real brand — not just a listing.

🧠 Want to see how we onboard new clients into our Airbnb business without dropping the ball or burning out?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Let’s build a business that gives you your life back.

A guest didn't check in, but decided to break in through the window instead...
We’ve generated over $20 million in booking revenue across our Airbnb portfolio.

But here’s the truth most people won’t say:

We did not build it perfectly.

If we could rewind 7 years and start from zero…

We would move faster and smarter.

Here’s exactly what we’d do:

1️⃣ Start with partnership / co-hosting deals

Instead of tying up capital in properties early on, we’d focus on controlling inventory.

Partnerships let you:
• Build income without huge down payments
• Prove your systems
• Scale cash flow before owning assets

Ownership is powerful.

But control + cash flow first?
That’s leverage.

2️⃣ Install STROS immediately

This is the big one.

We waited too long to systemize.

If we started again, we would:
• Hire a VA in the first 30–60 days
• Implement PMS + pricing software immediately
• Automate guest messaging from day one
• Document SOPs as we built

Most hosts burn out because they try to “earn the right” to automate.

That’s backwards.

Systems create scale.

3️⃣ Build our cleaning company in-house early

We waited until we had 60+ properties to fully internalize cleaning.

That was a mistake.

Cleaning is:
• Your quality control
• Your speed
• Your guest experience
• Your margin

If we did it again, we’d build that infrastructure much sooner.

4️⃣ Invest in mentorship early

The biggest delays in our growth?

Figuring things out alone.

Mentorship collapses time.
It eliminates expensive mistakes.
It gives you clarity.

Speed matters.

Here’s what most people get wrong:

They focus on the property.

We focus on the system.

Properties don’t create freedom.

Infrastructure does.

If you want to build your STR business with leverage from day one — not chaos…

Comment START and we’ll send you the details to join our Incubator community.

That’s where we teach STROS — the operating system that lets you scale without living in the day-to-day.

No fluff.
No guru nonsense.
Just real frameworks from operators who’ve done it.

Most hosts think they need more properties to earn more.

But what they really need is a business that stops falling apart without them.

We didn’t build our STR business to just make us money…
We built it to give us our life back.

Here’s how we made a 3-week unplugged vacation to Italy possible:

✅ We got clear on the lifestyle we actually wanted
✅ We built the STROS system to run operations without us
✅ We installed automation + empowered our team
✅ We tracked real profit per property (not just revenue)
✅ We stopped scaling listings that drained us
✅ And we designed everything to run in under 10 hours/week

This isn’t a fantasy. It’s leverage.

Your turn:
What would having this kind of freedom look like for you?

Most hosts hit a ceiling.

They start their STR business for freedom…
But end up becoming the business.

📉 More listings = more stress
📞 More messages = more interruptions
🧨 More revenue = more problems (without the right systems)

We used to wear every hat:
→ Cleaning coordinator
→ Guest support
→ Maintenance manager
→ Revenue optimizer
→ Therapist to anxious owners

The turning point?
We stopped trying to scale chaos—
And started scaling systems.

That’s what created the peace we’re experiencing right now—
3 weeks in Italy, completely unplugged from operations.

⚙️ It didn’t happen by luck.
We rebuilt everything around one question:
“How do we make the business run without us?”

You’ll find out exactly where you’re stuck—
And the systems you need to get your time back.

Hey Plateaued Host 👋

This page is for you.

Not the total beginner.

And not the person with 100 listings either.

We're talking about the host in the messy middle.

You’ve already started.

Maybe you have 1… 3… or even 5+ listings.

You’ve figured some things out.

But you're also realizing something:

This business gets way harder to scale without the right systems.

You’re answering messages.
Managing cleaners.
Adjusting pricing.
Solving guest problems.

And somehow still trying to grow.

We know this stage well.

Because we were there too.

Over the last 7+ years we’ve learned how to turn STR from a hands-on hustle into a real business.

Systems.
Team.
Automation.
Better properties.
Better strategy.

Now we help other hosts do the same.

If this sounds like you…

Comment START and we’ll invite you into our STR Wealth Incubator community where hosts like you are learning how to scale their Airbnb business the smart way.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

You found your people.
