Profitable Properties comes with exclusive reader-only bonuses including discounts of up to 60% off totaling $850 in savings to the OptimizeMyBnb.com store, spreadsheets to analyze real estate investment deals, and partner discounts to dozens of common tools that the most successful hosts use.
Wondering about the difference between Rusteen's two books? "Optimize YOUR Bnb" was written for intermediate and advanced Airbnb hosts and only discussed strategies and tools available on that platform. If Airbnb.com is going to be a main focus of your rental, you may want to read the first book. "Profitable Properties" is an entirely new book written for the short-term rental industry.
Daniel Rusteen got started in the short-term rental space in 2013 when he worked for Airbnb. Afterwards, he started a well-known YouTube and blog where he helps Airbnb hosts around the world make more money. Not on that, he also travels the world as an Airbnb guest having slept more than 2,000 nights in Airbnbs in 100+ cities. In 2018, we wrote the "Optimize YOUR Bnb", an industry favorite, and sold more than 50,000 copies via word-of-mouth sales only. Rusteen is also a real estate investor having a rental branded "The Belmonte Penthouse" in Medellin, Colombia.
