How to Start & Scale an Airbnb Business Without Owning Property: Beginners guide to marketing your listings, making a profit in 9 days & generating a passive income

by Kay Carroll

Ever since its launch, Airbnb has dramatically changed the idea of rental properties, making it more accessible for people to host their real estate for guests and earn serious money while doing so. The company, in its official reports, states that Airbnb hosts earned close to $60 billion in the United States alone. Because hotels are usually pricey and less accommodating, these short-term rentals play to the benefit of both, the hosts and the guests. And as the above data points out, it’s become a great way to generate passive income, giving hosts an opportunity to find financial stability and become new-age real-estate entrepreneurs. However, you will notice that there is one common element at play here – most of the hosts own their listed properties. Does this close all the roads for someone like you, who doesn’t own a property to list? Far from it. In fact, starting an Airbnb business even without owning a property is very much possible. And to begin, all you need is to follow a few simple steps… In this beginner’s guide to starting an Airbnb rental business, you will And much more. This guide also gives you communication strategies to talk and respond to your guests – down to asking for 5-star reviews – perfect to grow your personal brand and reputation. After all, Airbnb’s core lies in forging great relationships with guests to increase your popularity. And who knows? You just might become the next Airbnb Superhost!

From just 10 pages in I was loving this!!

Wow, such an in-depth description of the AIRBNB rental business, absolutely amazing work from the author. Currently I am in chapter 7 and every chapter genuinely leaves no stone I turned. As a newbie to Airbnb I am discovering new, tangible information all the time, for example optimised pricing and that most places can be booked up to 200 days beforehand, etc. If you are an Airbnb host you NEED this book.

A great read for Airbnbers!

This is an amazing and well written book for anyone wanting to run an Airbnb! Kay stated, “The current estimated value of the short-term rental market is $74.64 billion and is projected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 5.3% from 2022 to 2030” wow! Perfect timing to jump in and this book will give you the tools to do so. Even templates for everything you can think of.
