In 2023, on $73.25B in gross bookings, Airbnb reported revenues of $9.92B, a record of $4.79B in net income, and 13.5% in take rates. How will 2024 end?

Not sure who needs to read this, but short-term rentals are not passive income.

[Steven Lopez @steee_lo_]

@BrettDeas 😂 “passive income”

Why do people enter into STR's without doing any research on local city regulations?

[Steven Lopez @steee_lo_]

@batuhofer Ha! For sure.

If you have a STR property that defies the norm, highlight the features and experiences that set it apart from the rest. Use keywords to make your rental discoverable. Channeling a sense of adventure in your property description speaks to travelers seeking unconventional stays.

The Airbnb "Extenuating Circumstances Policy" is now the "Major Disruptive Events Policy." The policy update is to make it easier for reservations to be canceled and refunded without consequences due to "foreseeable weather events."

[Steven Lopez @steee_lo_]

@matmiike 💯 agreed.

I still see so many Airbnb listings with sh***y photos. Post high-quality photos from a professional photographer. Listings with professional-level photographs earn 40% more revenue than those without.

[Steven Lopez @steee_lo_]

@bysamboyd Valid point.

[Steven Lopez @steee_lo_]

Automating your routine STR business tasks will enable you to focus more on other vital aspects of your business and set it up for long-term success.

A legislative proposal recently passed by the Florida State Senate could give state authorities a lot more power to regulate the STR vacation market. SB 280 would overrule city & county regulations over STR's approved since 2016 and impose new statewide requirements.

Short-term rental regulation has become a dirty word among hosts and investors in recent years. Does it have to be?
