What Percentage of your reservations come from Airbnb?

[Matthew Masoud]

From my 12 listings last year I had 37% of our reservations come from Airbnb.

 With high fees and the grip Airbnb has around your neck my goal for 2024 is to get it down below 25%. At the same time, I want to take direct bookings from 41% to 50%.

This is your friendly reminder not to rely on any single platform to run your short-term rental business.

As the short-term rental space continues to get more saturated your ability to adapt and get your listing more exposure is was will keep you profitable. I see too many of my fellow STR/MTR investors relying solely on Airbnb. They post it there and pray for bookings.

Dont be complacent
