How to Get 90% Occupancy on Airbnb - EP 03
Mississippi Gulf Coast REALTOR® Patrick Merrill talks with Brad, the owner of Venice Beach-based Open Air Homes, about how to thrive in the modern short-term and mid-term rental market. Brad explains why the industry is entirely driven by 5-star reviews, and why homes that focus on a complete, comfortable guest experience enjoy 90% occupancy while others struggle at 20%.
They also dive into the operational side of property management, discussing why Brad's team turns off "Instant Book" to prevent parties, how they manage properties for owners who only travel a few months a year, and the reality of investing in California real estate today. Finally, Brad shares a brilliant, highly practical guide on how anyone can start a property management company today using AI tools like Claude to build a top-tier website.
