It has been a long time goal of mine to own a short-term rental, my original plan was to go it alone and stumble through it with the help of podcasts and other free resources. I followed Michael on Instagram and eventually just decided to take the leap knowing that coaching and guidance were definitely worth the investment to avoid costly mistakes. I’m just wrapping up the program and have successfully launched my property as planned with 70% occupancy rate for Sept/Oct already! My CSM - Kyle was always responsive and was vested in my success. I would do it over again so you could say I would recommend them for sure!

I’d always wanted to own an Airbnb. At first, my plan was simple, to buy a place nearby and figure it out onmy own. Luckily, I stumbled across BNB Investor Academy. The Academy guided me step by step through the entire process, from analyzing markets and running the numbers to finding great deals and projecting revenue. Having constant access to my coach, Drew, for advice, plus direct support from Michael and Logan, has been invaluable. Within just a few months, our property was performing far beyond what we imagined. We never could have achieved that kind of momentum so quickly without BNB Academy.

We joined the BNB Academy for the advice, guidance and recommendations from Michael and his team of STR experts, and we’ve been so thankful for the knowledge and results. We wanted to experience the earning potential that investing in the STR market can provide, but we didn’t want to jump in blindly. The Academy gave us the platform to jump in but have guidance and resources along the way that sets us up for success. It was a no brainer. Our CSM Fern is a phone call or text away and is always responsive and available to advise, we’re lucky to have her on our team. This Academy and the people involved give us the confidence and security we need to take investment leaps and we highly recommend the program to any beginner. We’re so glad we joined!

BNB Investor Academy has been instrumental in my journey towards my goal of having real estate in my portfolio. It's always been a goal of mine, but I needed that guidance and help. Working with my coach, Oliver, has been a real pleasure...when those doubts came, his assurance and guidance was very helpful.

Joining the program was a decision to push my wife and I into something bigger. They genuinely encourage you to take the next step in your STR journey, and that accountability and pressure to move forward is something I truly appreciated. It forces you out of your comfort zone and into action. That said, it’s important to be realistic: short-term rentals are not passive income — at least not in the beginning. Running an STR requires real work, problem-solving, and ongoing involvement, which wasn’t fully clear upfront. I also felt there could be better structure around the end of the mentorship. There wasn’t a clear closing process or follow-up to check in, gather feedback, or guide next steps after the program ended. Overall, it’s a growth experience — but it’s important to go in with the right expectations.

My wife and I signed up for the academy, researched and selected a market, purchased and renovated a home, and listed the property in under 3 months with mentorship from our BnB Academy partner. Since then, our property’s been live for 8 months, and we’ve already achieved a 45% return on investment from cash flow and tax benefits alone. If you’re ready to put in the work and list your 1st rental property in under 6 months, we’d recommend BnB Academy.
