Why are you in the short-term rental (STR) business? A lot of us start with a goal to replace our income and eventually quit our 9-to-5. But do you want to create a new job for yourself as a 24/7 Airbnb host? Or do you want to have the freedom to travel and do other things? In that case, it’s crucial that you learn how to work ON instead of IN your STR business.
Julie George is the Airbnb consultant and business mentor behind Million Dollar Host, a platform designed to help STR hosts scale a property management business. Prior to Million Dollar Host, Julie founded Host My Home, an Airbnb property management company out of Cairns, Australia. She grew the business from 0 to 130 properties in three years and earned $8M on Airbnb before selling the portfolio in 2019. Julie is also the author of Million Dollar Host: Julie’s Airbnb Portfolio Earned Over a Million Dollars in Her First Year … Yours Can Too!
On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Julie joins me to share her tips for working ON rather than IN your STR business.

Listen in for Julie’s insight on developing a game plan for the future of your business and learn how to build a STR company that runs itself!
