Increased bookings 10 fold

I read Danny's original book Optimize my bnb 6 years ago and at time I learned so much. I felt myself a STR pro, After all I've been a Superhost on Airbnb on and off for almost 8 years. What else could there possibly be left to learn. I decided to check this book out because like everyone else , the post Covid boom as led to an oversaturation of STRs in my market and slow reservations, slow even during peak season. After reading this book and implementing some of the strategies my bookings have been pouring in. Booked solid 2 months out and a few 3,4 and 5 months out. If your a beginner, intermediate or like myself advanced there are nuggets of gold in this book to help you level up your short term rental journey.

The first book every Airbnb host should read

At last, a comprehensive guide to every facet of short-term rental discovery, management, and operation! This book leaves no stone unturned, providing a thorough exploration of the journey towards a prosperous short-term rental enterprise. From uncovering lucrative markets and crafting captivating property photographs to curating the perfect listing, implementing effective marketing strategies, and setting optimal pricing, this book delves into all the essential topics. Notably, it excels in its treatment of revenue management and marketing, offering invaluable insights into pricing strategies, advertising techniques, and direct booking approaches.

The title 'Profitable Properties' aptly captures the essence of this book, as it equips readers with the tools to maximize their earnings. Even as a highly successful full-time owner, operator, and investor in the short-term rental realm, I discovered a wealth of knowledge within these pages. I eagerly await more publications from Daniel, hoping for in-depth explorations in the future. Additionally, I recommend checking out his book 'Optimize My Airbnb' for a comprehensive guide to achieving top rankings on Airbnb.

A review from the author

This was a first for me! I narrated the book with over 30 hours of recording sessions while in Barcelona, I hope you enjoy my voice! The 3-star reviewer issue has been solved and all purchases come with a PDF including the QR codes I refer to. Recently, I've published a behind-the-scenes video on my YT channel if that interests you, please make your way there. Thanks for the support!

Best Book on Airbnb

This is the definitive resource for STR owners listing on AirBnB. I have listened to this book over and over again because it is so dense I am catching new things everytime. The biggest challenge is implementing all the great information available in the book. You should also check out the YouTube videos and website. Even more priceless information!

I hope my competitor doesn’t read this 😂

Ive been in hospitality industry for a long time and I thought I knew STRs. Couldn’t be more wrong. Daniel basically just wrote a bible for STRs, Things you think you know but actually you easily neglect them, there are a ton of small things you can do to outperform in any market. It feels illegal to get all this knowledge for basically free. Also, it is narrated by himself and it feels like Daniel is your mentor and best friend talking to you. I wrote this review after listening to 5 times and I will now buy the paper version from amazon just so that I can have it with me all the time.

Fantastic information on STR

Very helpful information on running your STR. Interesting and informative will listen to again. Look forward to listening to his other books.

Loved it!!

This book is PACKED with valuable short term rental tips, it's no secret that Danny is an expert on Airbnb, but the way he takes you through the process being a winner host blows any other str book out of the water.

I wish I had found this 1 Year Ago

I wish I had found this Book 1 year ago when I took over the management of our short term rental from the property manager. While I have been in the Real Estate Industry for over 30 years, this Industry of Short Term Rentals is a whole new ball game and I would suggest you start with Daniel's books - I'm on Chapter 3 and taking notes like crazy on the things I can do differently, do over again.
Daniel holds true to his Offer with Bonus items - these Books are a great value and stocked full of pertinent information and tools. Janet G.

This is THE BOOK if you are investing in the STR space. This is the best book I have read for STRs. It has a remarkable amount of actionable information and several QR codes to get additional free up-to-date info and tools. This is a great next step from his book "Optimize Your BNB". Danny reads this and you feel his passion and expertise. Buy It!
