  • The VAT Mistake That Quietly Destroys Airbnb Profit

    The VAT Mistake That Quietly Destroys Airbnb Profit
    Jan 23 2026
    🚩 Ensure you reduce your VAT bill legally https://ryan-luke.com/10kcontractorbnbbiz?el=podcast VAT is one of the biggest reasons Airbnb profit quietly disappears as you scale — especially with tourist-focused Airbnb businesses. In this video, I explain why VAT shows up much sooner in traditional Airbnb models, how contractor Airbnb bookings are structured differently, and why that difference often leads to lower VAT exposure and stronger net profit. If Airbnb VAT feels confusing, stressful, or unavoidable, this video will show you why the type of Airbnb business you run matters more than the tax itself. 📍 Get started with the a free trial of the only channel manager I recommend for ContractorBnB simplicity https://www.uplisting.io/?via=ryan-luke In This Video, You’ll Learn: ✅ Why VAT hits tourist Airbnb businesses much faster ✅ How the 28-day rule changes Airbnb VAT exposure ✅ The difference between £150k in contractor income vs tourist Airbnb income ✅ Why you can’t simply “add VAT” to Airbnb guest pricing ✅ How contractor bookings reduce VAT pressure as you scale ✅ Why VAT feels scary — and how to make it manageable ✅ The real reason Airbnb profit disappears long before hosts expect it VAT isn’t the real problem. The real problem is running an Airbnb model that triggers VAT far earlier than most hosts realise. Follow me 👇 https://www.instagram.com/ryankluke84/

    🚩 Ensure you never buy (or rnt) an unprofitable property again https://ryan-luke.com/10kcontractorbnbbiz?el=podcast Most Airbnb hosts struggle because they’re running the wrong type of property in the wrong location. In this video, I break down the exact property criteria that make ContractorBnB work, why these properties outperform traditional Airbnb setups, and how choosing the right stock creates stable, mid- to long-term contractor bookings without the chaos of tourist hosting. If you want calmer, more predictable Airbnb income, this video shows what actually matters when choosing a property. 📍 Get started with the a free trial of the only channel manager I recommend for ContractorBnB simplicity https://www.uplisting.io/?via=ryan-luke In This Video, You’ll Learn: ✅ Why Airbnb success starts with property selection, not tactics ✅ Where contractor demand actually exists (and where to avoid) ✅ Why 5+ bed properties massively outperform smaller Airbnbs ✅ How economies of scale increase Airbnb profit with less effort ✅ Why parking is non-negotiable for contractor bookings ✅ Why city-centre Airbnbs underperform for long-term demand ✅ The ideal drive-time radius contractors will reliably book ✅ How the right property type leads to calmer operations and repeat stays Most Airbnb hosts focus on decor, pricing, or optimisation tweaks — but the property itself is the real multiplier. Once you understand this criteria, everything else becomes easier. Follow me 👇 https://www.instagram.com/ryankluke84/

    How I Quit Airbnb and Made More Money With Less Stress
    Jan 12 2026
    🚩 Build a serviced accommodation business without Airbnb or tourists https://ryan-luke.com/10kcontractorbnbbiz?el=podcast Airbnb isn’t the business. It’s the distribution channel. If your entire income depends on Airbnb, you don’t own a business — you’re renting one. Airbnb controls your visibility, your pricing, the type of guests you attract, and how consistent your bookings are. That’s why even great properties can feel stressful, capped, and unpredictable. In this video I’ll show you what Airbnb is actually useful for, what most hosts get wrong, and how to build a system that turns Airbnb enquiries into long-term, repeat bookings — without living in constant chaos. 📍 Get started with the a free trial of the only channel manager I recommend for ContractorBnB simplicity https://www.uplisting.io/?via=ryan-luke ✅ In This Video, You’ll Learn: ✅ Why Airbnb should never be your business model ✅ What Airbnb actually is (and how to use it properly) ✅ How Airbnb controls your visibility, pricing, and guest behaviour ✅ The mistake most Airbnb hosts make: platform vs business ✅ Why contractors book differently than tourists ✅ How stable bookings come from outreach + repeat relationships ✅ The simple system to turn Airbnb enquiries into long-term direct bookings ✅ How to position listings to scream “contractor friendly” ✅ Why pricing and amenities must suit 7-day demand for months at a time If you want the full system I use to increase profit and reduce stress, I go deep on this inside the ContractorBnB Campus.

In this video, I explain why contractors reject most Airbnb setups, the biggest Airbnb sourcing mistakes people make, and why following traditional Airbnb advice often pushes contractor demand away. You’ll learn what actually drives long-term, repeat contractor bookings — even when it goes against everything Airbnb teaches. 📍 Get started with the a free trial of the only channel manager I recommend for ContractorBnB simplicity https://www.uplisting.io/?via=ryan-luke In This Video, You’ll Learn: ✅ Why 90% of Airbnb properties don’t suit contractor demand ✅ Why size and bedroom count matter more than style for Airbnb contractors ✅ Why contractor Airbnb bookings outperform tourist stays ✅ Why parking is non-negotiable for contractor Airbnb demand ✅ How location and drive time affect contractor Airbnb bookings ✅ Why functional Airbnb setups beat “Instagram-perfect” designs ✅ What contractors actually need from an Airbnb property to stay long term If your Airbnb looks great but still struggles to attract stable contractor bookings, this video will show you exactly why — and what most Airbnb hosts completely misunderstand about contractor demand.
