Episode 47: Myka Cracks the Airbnb Code!
Description
Myka discovers that accepting all of Airbnb's pricing suggestions - weekly discounts, monthly discounts, Instant Book - shoots a listing to the top of search results overnight. He calls it "stroking the robot." He books a month-long stay within 24 hours by checking every box, then uses Beyond Pricing to reverse-engineer his target nightly rate so the discounts still leave him with his desired $700/month. Meanwhile, Steve loses his IT contract when 250 people are let go on a Wednesday morning - and realizes he's making more money without the job than with it.
The hosts cover rental arbitrage hunting strategies, the importance of writing down goals, changing an alternator to save money versus outsourcing, corporate rentals through Furnished Finder and Corporate Housing by Owner, and why one-bedroom units near hospitals are gold for traveling nurses. Myka's room gets sub-leased by a friend who found a corporate client willing to pay $950/month. Steve experiments with Uber driving and hides business cards in food-delivery bags.
