Episode 15: Hurricane Refugees, Airbnb Gripes, Work Away?!
Description
Myka helps five family members evacuate Hurricane Harvey to his Airbnb while one host discovers Airbnb keeps guest fees even when the host refunds through the resolution center - a $41 revenue stream nobody talks about. The hosts lost a $35 Texans-game booking to the storm but learned Airbnb's cancellation structure may favor the platform over hosts who try to do right by guests.
The episode covers Hurricane Harvey's impact on DFW gas supplies and short-term rentals, Steve's disappointing Turo experience with a late, dirty car and a cracked windshield in South Padre, new share-economy platforms like Workaway and Worldpackers for trading skills for free housing abroad, and plans to list bikes on Spinlister and target Cowboys season-ticket holders for the new upstairs suite going live October 9th.
