We haven’t cleaned our house, bought groceries, or washed our cars in over 2 years… Not because we’re lazy. But because we’ve learned to treat time as our most valuable asset. We’d rather spend those hours on beach walks with the kids, growing the Airbnb business, or just being present at home. 6 years ago, this wasn’t even a possibility. We were drowning in bills and stress. Now our Airbnbs buy back our time so we can live life on our terms and teach our kids what freedom actually looks like.

All glory to God who made this journey possible ✝️🙏🏻 We had no experience when starting on Airbnb. Just a burning desire to build a better life for our family. Steph learned Airbnb while juggling the kids. I worked on it late at night after ministry. The model we used is called “Rental Arbitrage”. Here’s how it works: 1/ Rent a nice property 2/ Furnish it 3/ List it on Airbnb & Booking.com 4/ Pay rent and keep the rest No mortgage. No ownership. It’s the new “era” of real estate investing. Here’s how to start: Step 1: Use Airbtics.com to find profitable STR zones in your city or country Step 2: Check the top listings — see what they earn & what amenities they offer Step 3: Look for rentals that cost <50% of projected Airbnb income Step 4: Call landlords or property managers and book viewings Step 5: Pitch your business; emphasize guaranteed rent and professional upkeep Step 6: Sign a corporate lease with a permission-to-sublet clause Step 7: Buy stylish, affordable furniture (budget: up to 4x rent) Step 8: Take pro photos Step 9: Hire a cleaner Step 10: Install a smart lock, noise sensor & Ring camera Step 11: Use Guesty.com to manage listings across Airbnb and Booking.com Step 12: Launch your listing Step 13: Get your first booking (often within days if you did it right) Over the past 6 years… → We’ve launched 500+ Airbnb units across the USA, UK, Australia & Dubai
 → Generated $30M+ in bookings
 → All without owning any real estate (DM me “Airbnb” to get my free course) 2025-09-16 02:45:45 .. 6,069 +174% 393 +102%

Acting broke has been one of our smartest financial decisions. Even when our business started growing and we had money to upgrade our lifestyle comfortably... We kept our expenses low and reinvested every dollar into our real estate portfolio. And today, we can comfortably live off our portfolio and no longer need to “act broke. Sacrificing a certain lifestyle to get ahead financially will be one of your best decisions, without a doubt. 2025-09-11 03:26:49 Acting broke has been o.. 899 -59% 112 -42%
🎉 She had no idea… 🎉 After months of planning, we pulled off the ultimate surprise for my stephbmurphy ‘s 40th birthday - and her reaction says it all ❤️ Because in the end, the greatest gift isn’t things… it’s people showing up to love you. The atmosphere was unforgettable. Voices lifted in song, laughter echoing through the air, and so many tears of joy. Every detail - from the surprise to the stories shared - was a reminder of how deeply Steph is loved. It wasn’t just a party. It was a celebration of 40 years of faith, impact, friendship, and unforgettable memories… with many more to come. Happy 40th, my love 🥰 You are celebrated. You are valued. You are everything.

✨ My Queen turns 40 ✨ (Swipe through to catch a glimpse of Steph’s surprise birthday weekend 🎉) I had to find a way to pour out love, gratitude, and celebration for stephbmurphy - because Stephanie, you deserved every single moment of your 40th. You are the rock so many of us lean on. Your kindness cuts through the darkness. Your empathy embraces the unseen and includes the marginalised. Your beauty and smile light up every room. Your faith and love for God shine with raw authenticity and power. You are one of a kind - a true BOSS lady. Your love for me and our children is steady and unquestionable. Your drive and determination are unmatched. You are, without doubt, a Proverbs 31 woman — strong, wise, and inspiring. And the laughter and joy you bring into the everyday? It’s priceless to us. We are beyond thankful to walk this journey of life with you at the center. You are invaluable in every way. I love you deeply. The kids adore you. Your friends cherish you. And this milestone? It only scratches the surface of the legacy you’re building. Happy 40th birthday, my love 💙 2025-09-10 16:06:52 ✨ My Qu.. 513 -77% 32 -84%

I’m running a free 2-day Airbnb webinar showing exactly how we built our business from $7,000 to $30M in bookings. Comment “WEBINAR” to get the invite Most people are obsessed with “owning.” But here’s the truth: Owning a home too early is what keeps a lot of people stuck. We’ve been renting since our entire life. While others were tying up $100k in a mortgage and hoping to build equity, We used our capital to build cash flow. And that decision changed our life. We launched our first 3 Airbnbs while renting. Then we launched a total of 500 units. Generated $30M in bookings. Moved our family across 3 continents. Built a lifestyle we actually wanted. So no, we’re not “burning money” on rent. We’re buying freedom with it. 2025-09-08 03:33:39 I’m.. 24,750 +1,017% 1,638 +742%
1) We still don’t own a personal home and probably never will. In fact, we’ve spent over $600k on rent in the past 7 years. While everyone says “you’re throwing money away on rent,” we’d rather use that $100k+ down payment to acquire assets like stocks, bonds, and Airbnb properties. For us, financial freedom means having rental income and dividends that cover our living expenses. 2) Over the past 6 years, we’ve launched 500+ Airbnb properties and generated over $30M in booking revenue…without owning a single one of these properties. We rent these properties through a corporate lease, furnish them, and legally list them on Airbnb for a profit.  Each property costs us $10k-$20k to set up and makes $1k-$4k/month in profit. 3) We faced 30+ rejections from landlords before getting our first “yes.” We dressed professionally and practiced our pitch...but despite that we still heard “no” over and over again.  Honestly, many times we were tempted to give up. 4) I was a full-time pastor before stepping into entrepreneurship. The calling to serve will never go away, but I came to see business as ministry too. It’s a way to create jobs, provide housing, and generate the resources needed to expand God’s kingdom work. 5) We’ve had some bad months....In February, one property lost over $4,000 due to vandalism and poor occupancy. We’ve had nightmare neighbours force us to shut down highly profitable Airbnbs. This business isn’t always the smooth journey social media makes it appear to be. 6) You’ll never see a Lamborghini in our garage, but you’ll see a housekeeper, meal deliveries, and a personal assistant. We invest in buying back our time, not impressing others. 7) We started our Airbnb business with $7k in savings, and 2 little kids. We worked countless late nights, set up properties on weekends, said no to social events, and reinvested every penny....even when we didn’t always see a clear path forward. Take us as proof that no matter where you start, you can build something extraordinary.

That’s a nice Cartier Bracelet…until you realize it costs more than setting up an Airbnb property that can profit $1,000/month. Invest in assets first. Then let the assets pay for the nice things. Or even better, don’t buy the bracelet, save up the cash flow, and set up more assets until you no longer need to work a 9-5 job to support yourself financially👀 2025-09-03 03:49:15 That’s a nice Ca.. 376 -83% 22 -89%

Too many Airbnb “gurus” make more money with their course than their actual Airbnb business. And I’m still in the trenches every day, building and optimizing my portfolio. Five years ago, I started with three apartments in Sheffield and Cambridge and expanded to London, Exeter, Torquay, Slough, Ipswich, and ultimately Dubai. In the past 5 years I’ve created an Airbnb blueprint that works anywhere in the world. My plate is already full. That’s why I share many of my strategies for free. I love seeing others win in this business more than anything else. I want everyone to get a piece of this pie because Airbnb has never been this profitable. But you must use up to date strategies that most superhosts are unwilling to share. 2025-08-30 21:27:00 Too many Airbnb.. 657 -70% 27 -86%
Most people see our life now and think we had some unfair advantage. They don’t see the 30 landlords who laughed us out of their offices. They don’t see Steph and I sitting at our kitchen table at 2AM, wondering if we’d made the biggest mistake of our lives taking out that $13k loan. They don’t see me rushing from church services to property viewings, changing in the car, praying that someone would finally take a chance on us. The truth? We were just a pastor and his wife with three kids, trying to create a little breathing room in our finances. We weren’t looking to build an empire. We just wanted to stop saying “we can’t afford it” every time our children asked for something. That first $850 profit changed something in us. It wasn’t just money...it was proof that faith paired with action could move mountains. Your breakthrough is always on the other side of rejection. Your miracle is waiting just beyond your comfort zone. Five years and 500 properties later, I still wake up some mornings in disbelief. Not because of what we’ve built, but because of who we’ve become in the process. This journey isn’t about Airbnb. It’s about becoming the kind of person who refuses to accept limitations & sees impossibilities as opportunities. (Want my free Airbnb course?

Here are a few more secrets: - Guests are extremely picky these days. They want something special and they are ready to pay for it. That’s why “vanilla” properties struggle to get bookings while the top properties print. - If you can only contact the agent or property manager, don’t worry. You just have to make a few changes in your pitch. Emphasize how you can both benefit from this because you can take on more properties in the future. - For the cleaning company: Treat them like partners. If they do a good job and take good care of your property, you will give them more properties in the future.  -One bad review: Admonish the cleaning company. Another bad review: Fire them. You need to set a high standard for cleanliness. - The most important people you need are a good electrician, handyman, and plumber who can come in quickly in an emergency or when you’re undertaking renovations. - Determine your target audience. Corporate? Contractors? Families? Pet owners? Remote workers? Couples? Girls only? This is the key to maximizing bookings and setting yourself apart. - Welcome your guests with a little gift basket, or say goodbye with an Amazon gift card. That extra $30 can get you a great review and go a long way. - Always listen to guest reviews. A negative review? Fix it immediately. A positive review? Double down on it immediately.

People laugh when they hear that we scaled from 0 – 450+ Airbnb properties within 4 years… But it’s true. We did it across the UK & Dubai, and by the end of 2024, we expanded to Australia and the USA. Not to brag but to show you what’s possible. So how did we do this? First off, we didn’t buy a single one of those properties. We rented all of them. This business model is called “rent to rent,” and it’s the same strategy all the big hotel brands use. Essentially, we rent a property from a landlord who wants guaranteed monthly rent. We ensure their property will be taken good care of. And we offer to pay up to $200 for maintenance. In exchange, they let us sublet their property on Airbnb. We then furnish the property to make it look homey & cozy. Then we list it on Airbnb and aim to make at least 2X the monthly rent we pay. After paying the rent and all other expenses, we’re usually left with $500–$1,500/month in profit per property, depending on the high/low season. By doing this, we can sometimes launch properties for less than $10k. Because all we need is the first month’s rent, security deposit, and furniture. No big mortgage down payment. This allowed us to scale a lot faster. A common question we often get is…why doesn’t the landlord just do it themselves? The truth is… They don’t know how. Landlords aren’t Airbnb pros. They don’t know how to run a profitable Airbnb business. They would have to invest time and money into learning this skill. And most landlords simply want to collect guaranteed rent on the first of every month. This is why it’s a win/win. This model works anywhere in the world, as we’ve proved.

I had so many of you reach out yesterday saying you missed the Airbnb masterclass. I get it…life gets busy. I don’t know when I’ll run another one, but here’s what I’m sure of: this was the most in-depth session I’ve ever done. Two full days of content. Here’s what I covered: ✅ How to make $2–3K profit per property without owning it ✅ My “Golden Location Formula” ✅ A live breakdown showing how to go from 1 to 5 properties in six months ✅ $0 down furnishing hacks and simple scripts that get landlords to say yes fast ✅ How to automate your business Because so many of you asked, I’m releasing the replay to all my followers, but only for the next 36 hours..

People think you have to choose between a job and a business but the truth is...you can have both. You can use your job as fuel to build your property portfolio. That’s exactly what I did for the first 12 months of building my short-term rental business. During the day I worked as a pastor and in the evenings I was searching for properties, contacting landlords, and furnishing properties. Within 12 months I went from 0 to 100 properties and $50k/month in net profit. That’s when I knew it was time to leave my job to continue scaling my business. You don’t have to “go all in” or “risk it all”. You can play it safe and still build wealth. Want my help to launch your first or next Airbnb properties within the next 90 days?

Comment “LINK” to join my free Airbnb webinar tomorrow. When Steph and I started our Airbnb business, we had $7,000 in savings. Everyone told us we needed to save for years to buy our first investment property. We would have been waiting forever. Instead, we discovered something that changed everything. You can generate more cash flow renting properties than buying them. And cash flow is what actually builds wealth, not ownership. Here’s what nobody talks about when they push property ownership. That $280,000 down payment sits there doing almost nothing for you. Meanwhile, you’re stuck with one property, one income stream, and all the risk concentrated in one asset. But when you use that same capital to start multiple rental arbitrage properties, you’re diversifying your risk across different locations, different property types, and different income streams. If one property underperforms, you have six others carrying the load. The math is simple but the psychology is hard. We’ve been conditioned to believe ownership equals success. But cash flow equals freedom. I’ve seen people tie up their entire life savings in one property that barely breaks even. Meanwhile, our students are generating $10,000+ monthly cash flow from multiple properties they don’t own. The beautiful part is you can always buy real estate later. Use your rental arbitrage cash flow to purchase properties with actual money instead of debt. That’s how you build real wealth. This business model gave us the freedom to travel the world, provide for our family, and build something meaningful. All without owning a single property for the first three years. 2025-08-18 22:33:22 Comment.. 414 -81% 53 -73%
