Episode 23: Instant book, Multi-family-BnB, Subleasing, Steve's first booking!
Description
Steve launches his first Airbnb, the Art House Hurst - a creatively staged property with guitars, an electric piano, and poster boards for guest art. He gets an instant booking within 24 hours at $99/night using Beyond Pricing after wrestling with Airbnb's smart pricing tool. The hosts debate instant book pros and cons, minimum stay requirements, and the two-night weekend strategy that maximizes cleaning fee revenue.
Myka and Steve discuss scaling their short-term rental operations - from hiring lawn services at $25-35 per property to finding cleaners at $20 per room. They cover Facebook Marketplace furniture hunting, the new Airbnb early bird and last-minute pricing features, and their upcoming 90-day challenge to close on another property by year-end. Myka is moving from single-family homes to multifamily units and preparing to stage a sublease property with professional photography for $60.
