    Airbnb as most people know it is dead. Average properties in average markets just don’t work anymore. But that doesn’t mean you can’t win—if you know how to position yourself, design for multiple exits, and build for the right buyer persona.


    In this video, I’ll break down what Ryan Pineda, Pace Morby, and I all agree on… and why Super Properties are the only way forward. If you want to stop playing small and actually scale with confidence, this is where to start.

    Airbnb isn’t “dead”… but the middle is. The 3-bed/2-bath cabins, the average condos, the stuff that crushed in 2020–2021? They’re getting wiped out. Meanwhile, the operators who know how to reposition, renovate, and separate their properties are thriving. In this video, I’ll break down why the market is splitting in two, what happens if you stay stuck in the middle, and how to build super properties that win no matter what the economy does. Don’t panic—pivot. Watch now and learn how to out-execute the 99%.
