Episode 68: Fee for extra guests, Deadly Snakes, Clearing 100k/month!
Description
Steve and Myka clear $100k a month across platforms and aim higher. Myka's Fort Worth house came $863 short when a double-booked guest on Booking.com forced a refund, the property manager missed a copperhead snake by the trash can, and six people tried to squeeze into a two-person downtown Dallas room. Steve pitches a $115k two-house hospital-district property perfect for traveling nurses, explains why Grapevine hosts asking for legal-fee donations spent their VRBO money too soon, and reveals that three days of HGTV filming became fifteen minutes of Island Life season 13.
The hosts discuss extra-guest fees, Booking.com's slow calendar sync, Hawaii demanding host tax records, Chicago's 24% hotel tax turning short-term math upside down, and why passive income makes the corporate world bearable. A listener shares how an Airbnb guest changed names mid-stay, threw a gang-sign party, and left Airbnb ghosting him for two months on $30k in damages. Steve wakes at 4 a.m. to plan in silence, Myka accepts a service dog without couch damage, and both agree that asking "how can I" beats "why can't I."
