Had a side business with Airbnb. After the redesign it has killed my business. I was doing 8-12k in revenue a month with 7 apartments it honestly has went down to $300. That's all the reservations I received in the month of may. I had an 18 month track record going and before the change had 80% occupancy. Literarily killed my side hustle through an app change. Anybody works there please let your higher ups know they are killing their hosts. #airbnbdata #airbnb #terrible #badupdate
I’ll get hate…..but good. Airbnb is a cancer on local housing markets. Maybe you should rent those apartments to people who actually need a place to live. I hope all Airbnb hosts who bought up housing inventory to use as hotels go bankrupt and have to sell. Renting a room out in your own house is a different deal. That hurts nobody.
100% yes to this. AirBnB coming to fruition at the same time the government was printing money was a toxic mix. Can’t wait to see all these kids who thought they were going to get rich quick by over leveraging themselves into landlordism get the rug pulled. Unwanted and unneeded tax on society.
What rubbish, why not let the market play out? Change rules around ownership rather than what owners can do with their property.
Good fuck landlords.
not enough details, what change and why it affect occupancy?
They changed the UI drastically making it harder for average Joe Schmoe to find listings
hmm prolly not every1 saw that else abnb biz be all dried up prolly some nearby hosts charged lower price and took all the biz
How were u renting them before? Airbnb is ridiculous. Lot of times the cleaning fee is more than the amount u pay for the number of nights. On top of that they add freaking service charge, local charges taxes and all that sh*t. Everyone should quit using airbnb
You mean you don’t like paying a huge cleaning fee and then still be expected to take out the trash, wash laundry, and do dishes?
No. I mean the "cleaning fee" should be reasonable. I have seen lot of places that charged like 400$ for 2 night stay and a 400$ cleaning fee. That is just ridiculous and is just a way for hosts to charge more.
Been using Airbnb for a while and I don’t see what change u are talking about. Nyc especially definitely still look the same. Did you really go down to about 300$ from 10k….? That sounds very extreme
What redesign?
Guess OP needs to update his listings with buzzy catch words to fit their ML classification model for categories
Haha. Fucking prick
landlording isn’t a business /thread
why not business
its not a business because landlords are parasites. If someone has cash, they buy a house. The only reason why people rent is because they can't afford a house. Landlords just sit in the middle collecting rent, having the renters pay their mortgage. Landlords also do not have to do anything because they can contract everything out to a leasing company / contractors who take care of any maintenance / disputes etc.
I mean it’s your fault for always assuming you would get the same amount of rental income each month. If u were smart you would trade better conservative risk for ensured rental income from renting instead of being a shitty unregulated hotel
His shit is at Playa del Carmen where rentals are a fraction of what he used to get in Airbnb

That is disgusting Oracle, you also did it in a developing country. You are the definition of an opportunist, glad your business is on the ground.
