Okay, Let’s spy on our Airbnb competitors and use the learnairbnb.com research to set our competitive rate and estimate our potential annual income.
As an example l, I’ll be using a 2 bedroom cottage, at the southern tip of Africa.
The owner wants 120 000 bucks annually.
But we cannot just agree blindly. We must verify.
The question.
What do we need to check if it is possible?
A conservative occupancy we should easily achieve.
In house we use 35% when starting with zero reviews.
And any great host with a nice place should easily achieve it.
Spying on our Airbnb competitors to get their daily rates and their number of reviews.
But to do we need their occupancy.
How lucky are we? We have a great secret to get exactly that.
You know that he LearnAirbnb study, using 6 million bookings, showed us the relationship between the number of reviews and occupancy.
By knowing our competitor’s number of reviews, using the study we can convert reviews to occupancy. Cool.
If you worry. Don’t worry. Keep focus. It’s easy. Too easy.
Let’s look at the Learnairbnb.com graph.

Okay. Just a reminder of what the owner wants:

120000 bucks divided by 128 days means 939 bucks per day. Is 939 competitive a competitive rate?
