You’ve probably heard about Airbnb and short-term rentals (STRs). Maybe you think you need to buy property or manage every detail yourself to make money.

But what if you could build a thriving STR business without owning a single property? What if you didn’t have to do any on-site work either?

Fractional hosting is a revolutionary business model that focuses only on the critical remote tasks: pricing optimization, guest communication, and marketing. Property owners handle cleaning and check-ins. You manage everything else remotely with almost zero upfront costs.

Most people get stuck trying to do everything themselves or assume that traditional co-hosting is the only option.

Fractional hosting is the smarter way to launch and scale your remote STR business.

In this course, you’ll learn how to find and attract property owners who are ready to hand over their remote management to you.

Find out how to create listings that rank high and book fast. The key is to automate your workflow using the best tools in the industry so that you can run your business without burning out.

When issues come up, you’ll have clear processes to handle them quickly and effectively.

Discover the system that lets you build a scalable, profitable business without owning property or doing the physical work.

Whether you want a flexible side hustle or aim to earn $10,000 a month and beyond, this course gives you the blueprint to start earning and growing from day one.

Quentin West

Owner, Shortcut To Superhost

Quentin West went from broke and nearly electrocuted on a job site to running a 45-unit Airbnb business bringing in up to $120K a month.

After dropping out of college and working construction, a near-death accident pushed him to pivot fast. He got his real estate license but couldn’t afford his mortgage — so he moved back in with his parents and listed his house on Airbnb. Month one: $1,000. Month two: $1,500. He was hooked.

Using credit cards to get started, he grew from one unit to 12 in a year — and now manages 45 across multiple states. Today, he teaches others how to do it with fractional hosting — a remote Airbnb model with almost no startup cost and no need to own property.
