    PadSplit Changed the Rules Overnight — 22 Days of Empty Rent (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Send us Fan Mail PadSplit changed its booking window to 30 days without warning hosts - Myka discovered a guest booked 22 days out, leaving a room empty with zero revenue. He and Steve break down what that means for cash flow when you're counting on six rents from one house, and why they're now wary of adding more PadSplit units as cities start cracking down. The conversation covers their current MTR sweet spot (four-bedroom houses with pools command a thousand-dollar premium), the hidden ex...

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Send us Fan Mail Myka walks through the custom Claude AI dashboard that manages his entire rental operation - from pulling live Price Labs data and calculating optimal Airbnb/Vrbo discounts based on local market conditions, to connecting with QuickBooks for P&L tracking and automating guest invoicing. He prices Vrbo listings 30-50% higher than Airbnb and adjusts monthly discounts seasonally, dropping them to 10% in high season when he can command $3,600/month, then raising them as school ...

    PadSplit’s New Superhost Rules and a $15,000 Fire Alarm (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Send us Fan Mail Steve discovers his poolman was in two car accidents, leaving three pools turning green with guests already checked in. At 100+ degrees on a Sunday, he grabs his scrub brushes and shocks all four pools himself - three rentals plus his own - spending hours in the heat to save the bookings. One pool had overflowed after a backup guy forgot to return and turn off the hose. The hosts cover PadSplit's new superhost criteria that ding acceptance rates, a city requiring a $15,000 c...
