Do NOT start Airbnb business before watching this.

He runs 75 Airbnb properties across Alibaug and Pune. He owns almost none of them. That single fact broke how I understood this business. I assumed short-stay rentals were a real estate game, that you needed crores in property before you could earn a rupee. You don't. There's a whole layer of leasing, co-hosting and management contracts underneath it that nobody explains properly, because the people who understand it are busy running it. So I sat down with him for an hour and asked the questions I actually wanted answered: → What does one unit make in a month, after every cost? → What's the commission on a management contract, and is it on gross or net? → How many properties can one person run before they need a team? → Can someone with a job and ₹10–15 lakh realistically start? → And the one I was most nervous to ask: is this a business, or just a job with more anxiety and no fixed salary? He answered all of it. Including the parts that don't make the business look good. If you've ever opened Airbnb and wondered what the person on the other side is actually earning, this one's for you. 0:00-25:56 - He manages 75 Airbnb properties, how it works 25:56-30:25 - Bad reviews and how to manage it 30:25-52:18 - How to model works 52:18-55:13 -Operations 55:13- How to run Airbnb it with 9-5 Job
