Airbnb hosts who are booking up their spaces during the era of 'Airbnbust' share 3 strategies they're using to make money on the platform
Seattle-based real estate investor Peter Keane-Rivera turned one of his units into 70s-themed Airbnb.So far, it's been worth the time and effort. His guesthouse has been fully booked since he listed it in January 2023. Someone even booked it for 35 days, he said, adding:"Meanwhile, you have people in the Airbnb community who can't get anyone to book their listing to save their life, so I felt validated in my crazy pursuit of a far-out, groovy Airbnb.
He estimates that while he spends about three to five hours a month managing his long-term rental properties, his two Airbnbs require about three to five hours a week. "When I go on vacation somewhere, I want to have an experience I cannot get anywhere else," said Keane-Rivera."I want something unique. I'm willing to spend a few more dollars to have a 'wow factor.'"
Similarly, Heilbron sees value in listing an Airbnb that stands out, which is why he recently invested in a cabin on a large plot of land in North Carolina.
