Hi there, and welcome to KP_BNB!
We’re so glad you’ve landed here.
My husband and I started this blog for one simple reason: we believe in the power of short-term rentals to create freedom, flexibility, and financial growth. Whether you’re thinking about becoming a host or already running your own Airbnb, we’re here to share real tools, honest lessons, and all the things we wish we knew earlier.
Why We Switched from Long-Term to Short-Term Rentals
When we purchased our home, our second goal — right after finding a place to live — was to create passive income. At first, like many homeowners, we assumed we’d rent out part of our space to a long-term tenant. But as we looked at the numbers, the decision became clear:
short-term rentals had a much higher income potential.
The idea of a “permanent” renter just didn’t feel right anymore. Not because it’s a bad model — but because it didn’t match our goals for flexibility, control, or earnings.
Running It Ourselves (Without a Big Team)
We also had another advantage: we live nearby.
That meant we could confidently handle the day-to-day operations ourselves — from cleanings and turnovers to guest communication. We didn’t need to outsource or hire a property manager, and that gave us a much smoother (and more profitable) start.
We learned a lot, fast. From automating check-ins to choosing the right linens, furniture, and cleaning supplies, it’s a constant process of learning what works best. And now, we’re sharing it here.
