Airbnb Playbook

Two separate guides — pick the model that fits you. Read everything here, no need to go elsewhere.

What it is: You manage someone else's Airbnb listing and take 10–30% of every booking as your fee. The owner keeps the property — you do all the work.
Best for: Starting with zero capital. No lease, no furniture cost, no ownership needed.
