Airbnb Arbitrage Is Dead

Summary

The video argues that traditional, low-effort Airbnb arbitrage is dead due to market saturation and increased regulation, exemplified by NYC's Local Law 18. The speaker, Preston Seo, proposes a new strategy called the "Bridge Method," which prioritizes quality over quantity. This involves finding profitable "micro-locations," investing heavily in the design and guest experience of a single property, and focusing on maximizing "Return on Time Investment" to create a sustainable, high-cash-flow business that can replace a 9-5 job.
