Airbnb Room & Property Management

You don't need to own property to make money on Airbnb. Co-hosting (managing other people's listings) pays 10-20% of booking revenue with zero real estate investment. If you do have a spare room, Airbnb guests in major cities pay $80-200/night. The property management angle is the real play: manage 5-10 listings, handle guest communication and cleaning coordination, and earn $3K-$10K/month. The overhead is a cleaning crew and a smart lock.
