    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%.

    Stop throwing money at random upgrades hoping for bigger payouts. A $7K hot tub won’t magically add $30K to your revenue.


    The real win? Marketability. Your property needs to stand out, and that comes from smart, intentional amenities—not copying what everyone else is doing. I’ve built properties that outperform the market by adding unique, affordable touches like a barrel sauna, a glamping tent, or spa-style bathrooms. These choices create experiences guests can’t find anywhere else.


    If you want to crush it in short-term rentals, focus on strategy over spend. Fill gaps your competitors ignore, and you’ll attract the guests who pay more and come back.

    Just picked up a two-bedroom condo in Panama City Beach for $395K that I’m projecting to bring in $110K–$115K gross and net around $40K a year. Brea crushed the design, Jon handled the renovations, and we leaned into murals, fireplaces, and details that make this place stand out. I’ll walk you through the full tour, break down why this is one of the highest cash-on-cash returns in my portfolio, and share how you can spot deals like this in your own market.
