Episode 36: Anti-instant book, Pet Friendly, Airbnb Burglaries, Booking.com
Description
Myka reports getting at least one booking.com inquiry daily - he declines them penalty-free and redirects guests to his Airbnb listings, filling all rooms through March while converting to corporate rentals. Steve describes his first pet-friendly guest - a service dog owner who left the place spotless, tipped the cleaner $20, and whose friend bought $300 in paintings off the art house walls during checkout.
The hosts cover turning off instant book for control, the new surveillance disclosure button on Airbnb, address glitches causing four-star reviews, a burglar caught using Airbnb to scout homes with flexible cancellation policies, self-directed IRAs for tax-free real estate income, and Steve's hunt for a duplex after a $750,000 overpriced listing near Great Wolf Lodge. Myka eyes a 2025 goal of $240,000 gross Airbnb income through timeshares, room rentals, and 20% listing management fees instead of subleasing.
