We're back yall.

Fee's are now 15.5% for every Airbnb host.

Don't get tossed up.

Reach out to fight back.

Airbnb has been gradually transitioning hosts from the 3% split fee model to the host only pricing model for years, and I still see a lot of Gainesville hosts who don't fully understand what it means for their business.

For many owners, this change affects pricing strategy, competitiveness, and overall profitability more than they realize.

In this video, I break down what changed, how the new fee structure works, and how we're adapting by expanding beyond Airbnb through multiple booking platforms and direct booking capabilities.

If you're hosting in Gainesville, or thinking about investing here, this is a change you should understand.

Another one we’ve been working on the past couple weeks.

This one is a little different for us because it’s pretty far out of town, closer to the airport than most of the properties we usually work with. Because of that, it’s a bit of an experiment.

Part of what I enjoy about this business is figuring out how to make different types of homes work in this market. Some properties succeed because of location. Others succeed because of design, amenities, or how they’re positioned to guests.

This one will be interesting to watch.

We’ve been dialing in the setup, getting the listing ready, and building the strategy around the kind of traveler that would actually want to stay here.

I’m excited to see how it performs.

How my cleaners left our largest Airbnb.

Part 3 of 3.

Final part of the inspection walkthrough. This is the last check before a guest arrives, and honestly this is where most hosts miss things. Inventory, final touches, staging, and making sure the home is truly guest ready.

This is what we do to protect reviews and keep standards consistent.

Let me know if you think it passed the test.

How my cleaners left our largest Airbnb.

Part 2 of 3.

Continuing the walkthrough inspection. This is where I start looking at the things guests always notice first. Bathrooms, floors, linens, and the small details that can make or break a 5 star review.

Cleaning is not just about looking clean. It has to feel clean.

How my cleaners left our largest Airbnb.

Part 1 of 3.

This is a behind the scenes look at my inspection process right after a clean. I’m walking through the home exactly how I would before a guest checks in, checking details, standards, and anything that could impact reviews.

This is what short term rental cleaning actually looks like when you take it seriously.

LTR vs STR in Gainesville is one of the most common questions I get.

So I decided to break it down the simple way.

In this carousel I compared long term rental income vs short term rental income for properties from 1 bedroom all the way up to 5 bedrooms, then tallied up which strategy made more.

Final score
STR won 4 to 1.

And what makes this even more interesting is these numbers are based on average STR performance, not even fully optimized listings with strong pricing strategy, great design, and solid operations.

So the gap can be even bigger when the short term rental is actually being run correctly.

Of course STR comes with more work and higher expenses, but when it is done right, the upside in Gainesville is very real.

If you are a local owner and have been debating which direction to go, this should give you a clearer picture.

I NEED your opinion on this room. Drop your ideas in the comments because I’m genuinely using the best ones.

Behind the scenes of a new Airbnb I’m working with. Part 5 of 5.

This is the other big room in the house and it has so much potential, but I want to build it based on what guests would actually enjoy.

The vibe we are going for is peaceful, private, calm, and like a true retreat.

So what would you turn this space into?

A movie room
A yoga or meditation room...
A game room...
A reading lounge...
A workspace...
Or something totally different?

If you were staying here, what would make you feel like you are on a real getaway?

Behind the scenes of a new Airbnb I’m working with. Part 4 of 5.

In this section I’m talking about what I would do to make the primary bedroom area stand out. Not necessarily by spending a ton of money, but by making the right improvements that guests actually notice.

I also go into specific niche features of this home that will translate well to short term renting.

This is where small changes can have a big impact on booking rate, reviews, and overall performance.

Almost done with the full walkthrough.

Behind the scenes of a new Airbnb I’m working with. Part 3 of 5.

This is the part where I start getting into the details. I share some tips and tricks that I use in all my Airbnbs, and I share some discussions I've had with realtors and how they correlate to STRing .

I also share what I would keep, what I would remove, and what I would add to make the home feel more intentional and guest friendly.

A lot of Airbnbs do not fail because the home is bad. They fail because the setup is not thought through.

This is how I look at a property before it goes live.

Behind the scenes of a new Airbnb I’m working with. Part 2 of 5.

In this section I’m walking through more of the property and breaking down what I think the biggest opportunities are to improve performance. Things like layout, furniture placement, guest experience, and what upgrades would actually be worth doing.

This is the kind of stuff most people do not think about until after they launch, but it makes a huge difference in reviews and bookings.

Part 2 is where it starts getting good.
