Why Hosting 30 Guests at Once Can Be Easier Than Hosting 2 with Andrew Llewellyn
from The Short Term Show · host 8 Figure Airbnb and Short Term Rental Real Estate Investor Avery Carl
On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Andrew Llewellyn to unpack how he built a thriving short-term rental business in Louisville, KY. He shares the pivot from an almost-bakery to 10–30 guest stays, the data-driven playbook behind tiered calendar openings and last-minute pricing using throughput accounting, and why in-house cleaning and EOS/Traction keep operations tight. Andrew walks through converting an 18,000-sq-ft office into eight 4-bed/2-bath units (projected $800–$900k gross) after a first 10,000-sq-ft building that now grosses ~ $400k, plus the realities of SBA 504 financing (six–eight months and 40 bank conversations). Tech stack highlights include Guesty, PriceLabs (with manual event overrides), RemoteLock, and a heavy weekly metrics cadence.
