This is the house one guest left behind. Not bad luck — a preventable situation, and I want to show you exactly how to prevent it.

Three things:

1. Act like a professional from minute one. Go through a real check-in process with your terms and conditions, and send the guest a message right after check-in letting them know there are cameras and a noise monitor outside the property. You're not being paranoid — you're showing you're in control. Properties without this are simply more likely to end up looking like this one.

2. Be careful with local one-night guests. Ask the obvious question: why would someone who lives ten minutes away book your whole house for a single night? Screen them before you approve.

3. Use a noise detector. There are several good solutions on the market that catch a party building up before it wrecks your property.

If you want to learn the full system — pricing, guest communication, operations — I run a free live webinar every evening, link below.

And if you self-manage and want professional-grade tools without paying professional prices, comment "COACHING" below and I'll send you my code for up to 71% off.

Pricing is where most hosts quietly lose money.

Not in one big mistake — in small ones, repeated every single night. A rate that never changes. A number picked because the place down the street picked it. A calendar nobody looked at until the week before.

Three of them are in this video. There are more.

We're going through the whole thing live — pricing, market, guests, and the numbers that decide whether a property actually works.

Free. Live. Real Q&A at the end.

You don't start big. You grow into it.

Nobody's first rental is an empire. It's one apartment, a lot of questions, and the quiet fear that you're about to make an expensive mistake.

That's exactly what this session is about.

Steve has been running short-term rentals for over 20 years — the good years and the costly lessons. He's walking through the whole thing live: how to pick a market, how to price, how to handle guests, and the numbers that tell you whether a property is actually worth it.

No fluff, no "passive income" fairytales. Just what works, and what to do first.

Free. Live. Real Q&A at the end — bring your questions.

You've seen a lot of Steve on this page. Today, the other half.

I'm Maria — I run marketing for XENO Academy and XENO Management. I'm the one filming, writing, editing, and answering your DMs. Steve knows short-term rentals inside out after 20+ years. My job is making sure that knowledge actually reaches you.

Also: freddo espresso before anything else. Non-negotiable.

Your turn — tell me one thing about hosting you wish someone would finally explain properly. I'll turn it into a video. 👇

Professional managers in Phoenix earned $52,500 last year, while individual owners managing themselves made $24,700 for the same properties. This gap isn't about occupancy, which is identical. It's about pricing – owners charge significantly less per night. The full data is available for you to review.

Most owners either pay 20–25% to a manager…
or try to figure everything out alone.
There’s a better way.
After managing 300+ properties across three countries, I built the exact systems that more than doubled owner revenues — and now I teach them to people who want to run their own short-term rentals properly.
No more guessing.
Just clear systems for pricing, guests, and operations.

Airbnb smart pricing is designed to fill your calendar, not maximize your earnings. It prices 10-30% too low due to your emotional attachment to empty nights, lack of market comparison, and over-reliance on the algorithm.

Stop paying 20–25% to a manager.
If you own a house or apartment in the US and still think you need a property manager to run Airbnb — you don’t.
You need systems:
– pricing that actually books
– guest communication that runs without you
– clean turnovers
– legal basics so you don’t get fined
That’s what we teach inside XenoAcademy.

Most owners either give 20–25% to a manager…
or try to figure everything out alone and stay stuck.
I’ve spent 20 years on the other side of that problem — managing 300+ properties across three countries and more than doubling owner revenues.
Now I’m based in Orlando and I teach local owners how to run their short-term rentals themselves (without the chaos).
