For one rental I would say no.  I guess it depends on what you’re trying to buy but if you need that for multiple deals then why not. Or go in with someone who already has a membership.   I’ve never used it, but I know my market pretty well.  If it was a new market I might consider it.

50% Crash in Airbnb Revenue reported in some Cities

But there are now signs that this trend of increased Airbnb listings might be coming to an end as the market reaches saturation in 2023, with Airbnb's CEO warning of a "booking slowdown". At the same time, vacation rental management companies reported a 13% drop in revenue per property in the first quarter of 2023.

Clearly, something is up, with the deluge of Airbnb supply over the last several years now intersecting with a recessionary slowdown in travel demand. A cocktail which is leading to a collapse in revenue for Airbnb operators across America.

The collapse is most notable in the Southwest and Mountain West areas of the country, where Airbnb revenue per listing is down 40-50% YoY. With owners in cities such as Austin, Phoenix, Denver, and San Antonio taking the hardest hit according to data from AllTheRooms.

Good morning,

I have a guest asking to check in earlier which I am happy to explore.  Right now, the night before they are scheduled to arrive is available, so an early check-in could happen IF the night stays vacant.  However, I can't make any promises since someone could schedule that night.  So, I was thinking of offering them a discounted rate to "occupy" the night before they stay so they can check in at any time.  How would I do that on the AirBnB platform?  Is that a "request payment" situation?  Or is there an easier way to handle this if they go that route?  Is there a different/better option?  Thanks for your time.

I am looking to nail down my first lease in Florida. I currently do not have an LLC yet, it's going to take at least another 30 days. I have found I property that I like but don't feel that it will still be available in 30 days? Should I move forward without the LLC and put the lease in my name?
