Summary

AI-generated

This video discusses Airbnb's shift to a 15.5% host-only commission model (removing service fees for guests) and highlights that simply marking up prices by 15.5% isn't the correct way to offset this change. The correct calculation depends on whether you're using a property management system (PMS).

Mistakes to avoid
