I’m so happy to share with the community that I got my first 30-night emergency booking based on somebody being displaced! It feels so good to provide a five star experience to folks who have emergency situations!! “Hi Brian, we came home from our wedding anniversary trip to a flooded house so we need a place to stay while it’s being repaired.”

Win! We received our first booking! It's only for a week, but we need the review so its a big win. It's through Airbnb and it came literally a few hours after dropping the price. If there is any advice you wish someone told you on your first booking please share! Thanks everyone for your help.

$11,200 monthly for our CA home. I’m so sad for them but happy we were able to get them in our home quickly and they are so happy to be out of the hotel.🙌 I love that we get paid to help people! ❤️

We’re officially 100% booked for the next month for both our properties, using the VH formula! Now that I’ve had back-to-back wins, time to start increasing the prices, too. 🤑 The VH formula for me was was ridding myself of the nerves of setting the minimum booking to at least 14 nights and even 28 nights. The other key was changing from instant book to inquiry only on Airbnb. Oh, one more thing: shamelessly ripping off the titles and verbiage for my listings from y’all here in this AWESOME VH Community! 🥳 Sidebar note: Today’s booking wasn’t an insurance booking. She’s a Duke Hospital liver transplant patient. My first house was for somebody whose house flooded, and now somebody with a life-changing medical procedure. Wow, this is REALLY amazing to get to help in both kinds of ways!! 🥰

What are some of the ways you find houses to arbitrage?
