Episode Summary
In this episode of The Airbnb Roadmap Podcast, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I manage our Airbnbs in about 30–45 minutes a week—while still keeping 5-star reviews rolling in. I share the very real side of setting up Airbnb #4 and #5 (aka: BOXES EVERYWHERE, neighbors texting about our “embarrassing” amount of packages, and my love–hate relationship with assembling furniture)… and then I walk you through the actual software stack that keeps our business running on autopilot.
From Hospitable as the main hub, to Schlage for keyless entry codes, PriceLabs for dynamic pricing, Turno for cleaners, QuickBooks for bookkeeping, and Blink cameras for security, I break down what we use, how it all connects, what I love, and where the hiccups are. I also share why “value” matters more than just charging sky-high nightly rates—and a fun New Zealand dive bar story that proves why personal recommendations still matter more than Google.
Key Takeaways
Why Listen to This Episode?
If you’re tired of feeling glued to your phone managing guests, cleaners, pricing, and messages, this episode will show you what to automate, what to keep an eye on, and what tools are actually worth paying for. I’m not a techie or a numbers-nerd (that’s Clay’s department), so if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by software options, I break it down in normal-human language with real examples, mistakes, and what I’d do again.
Whether you’re about to launch your first Airbnb or you’re adding property #4 and #5 like we are, you’ll walk away with a plug-and-play software roadmap you can model.
