Summary

Robuilt discusses his experience with launching a new Airbnb property, The Pink Pickle, that initially lost money. He shares the mistakes he made, such as using poor-quality photos and launching at the wrong time of year in Austin, TX, missing the high-demand South by Southwest (SXSW) bookings. Despite the initial setback, he explains how targeted marketing and improved listing quality helped turn the property into a profitable venture.
