    Surviving the Airbnb and Short-Term Rental Slowdown in 2025

    Bookings are down. The market’s soft. And 2025 is separating the real hosts from the hobbyists. In this Vacation Home Help Podcast episode, John Andrew — founder of Florida’s largest Airbnb cleaning and co-hosting network — shares the fundamentals every host needs to stay profitable and stay in business through the slowdown. You’ll learn: ✅ Why every host must use a dynamic pricing tool (PriceLabs, Beyond, or Wheelhouse) — and actually learn it ✅ How your comp set determines your results ✅ The chaos from Airbnb’s new host-fee shift — and why active monitoring and pivots are essential ✅ When to ditch your PMS if it’s costing more than it’s helping ✅ Why now is not the time for expensive renovations or upgrades ✅ How to stay lean, build cash reserves, and bootstrap when things get tough ✅ The power of mastering the basics — photos, pricing, and guest experience ✅ And why most gurus, coaches, and STR “mentors” are flat-out misleading you No fluff. No secret sauce. Just fundamentals and updates that actually matter for operators who want to win long-term. 💰 Need help setting up your pricing or revenue management strategy?

    Remove Bad Airbnb Reviews Every Time With This Method

    Description: Negative reviews can tank your Airbnb performance — but most can be prevented or removed if you know what you’re doing. In this episode, John Andrew breaks down exactly how to stop bad reviews before they happen, and what to do if a guest already left one. You’ll learn: How to prevent bad reviews through communication and expectation settingThe exact line to tell guests privately that can stop a negative review before it’s writtenWhy Airbnb’s algorithm flags certain keywords and how to use them to get your review escalated for removalThe words you must include when messaging support — like “coerced” and “extorted” — so your case gets human reviewHow to negotiate with guests if their real goal is a refundAnd yes… why sometimes paying for removal is just good businessThis episode is about protecting your reputation in a competitive market. In short-term rentals, your reviews are your currency. Protect them like gold. Because when you’re 1 out of 100 hosts — or 1 out of 1,000 — reputation is what keeps your calendar full and your nightly rate high. 💡 Episode Quote: “Reputation management is everything. You’re not in the real estate business — you’re in the trust business.” — John Andrew 📲 Follow & Connect with John Andrew: Follow John for more Airbnb & short-term rental growth tips, pricing strategies, and behind-the-scenes host advice: Instagram: @thejohnandrewFacebook: facebook.com/thejohnandrewNewsletter john@vacationhomehelp.com with subject “Newsletter” and your listing link🎁 One Lucky Host Giveaway: One listener this year will win a free year of revenue management consulting with John Andrew.

    A No-BS Framework to Build a Profitable STR Portfolio (Part 3: Macro → Micro Market Selection)

    Not all STR markets are created equal. Some look amazing in headlines but flop once you dig into the numbers. Others are sleeper markets that deliver insane returns if you know where to look. In this episode, John Andrew breaks down Step 3 of his no-BS framework: how to go from choosing the right macro market (state/city) to nailing the perfect micro market (the neighborhood or even the street). You’ll learn: How to identify macro demand drivers like airports, events, tourism anchors, and universitiesWhy seasonality curves matter more than average occupancy reportsHow to filter down to the micro level: neighborhoods, drive times, noise, parking, and curb appealWhy your best comps are not citywide averages but the top-10 properties in your micro market👉 Follow John Andrew for daily STR tips and strategies: Facebook: @thejohnandrewInstagram: @thejohnandrew💡 Want to earn STR income without the stress?

    A No-BS Framework to Build a Profitable STR Portfolio (Part 2: Compliance-First Market Filter)

    Too many new investors make the same mistake: they buy a “dream” property in a market that looks good on paper — then find out the city, county, or HOA doesn’t allow short-term rentals.

You’ll learn how to quickly spot STR-friendly markets, what permits and taxes you need to check before you buy, and why you should always walk away from “gray areas.” What you’ll discover in this episode: How to quickly vet states, cities, and HOAs for STR complianceThe permits, taxes, and occupancy rules you must confirm before making an offerThe Go/No-Go sheet that saves you from wasting capital on bad dealsWhy walking away from gray markets protects your long-term portfolio👉 Follow John Andrew for daily STR insights: Facebook: @thejohnandrewInstagram: @thejohnandrew💡 Need help running your STR hands-free?

    Airbnb’s New “Host-Only Fee” Kill Shot Against Direct Bookings — Here’s Your Countermove

    🚨 Airbnb just made its boldest move yet: a host-only fee of 15.5% (16% in Brazil) and zero visible guest fees. It looks like housekeeping—it's actually a psychological flip that erases “book direct to avoid Airbnb fees” and puts price blame on you while Airbnb takes a bigger cut. In this episode, I break down: How the fee shift blurs lines with hotels and neutralizes your direct-booking pitchWhy guests will now assume you raised prices (and what to do about it)The broader pattern—masked contacts, off-platform penalties, brand-neutral listings next?The playbook smart hosts are running now: raise rates 13–15%, switch to “best price guaranteed,” diversify channels, and build true direct solutions💡 Want help executing the counter-strategy? My team at Vacation Home Help co-hosts properties across Florida, Atlanta, and beyond—operations, compliance, guest experience, pricing, and systems—so you keep more profit with less stress. 📩 Email me: john@vacationhomehelp.com 👉 Follow me on Facebook for daily no-BS STR growth tactics: facebook.com/thejohnandrew If 15.5% was the kill shot, what’s your backup plan when it hits 20%+? Tune in and get the blueprint.
