Description

Short-term lets consistently outperform long-term rentals. A property that earns £800/month on a standard tenancy can generate £1,500–£2,500/month as a serviced accommodation - and this course shows you exactly how.

With 9+ hours of practical content and real examples from Lisa Newton's own portfolio (Nottingham and Nevis, Caribbean), this is the most comprehensive Airbnb and serviced accommodation course available from a UK investor who actually does this herself.

What you'll cover:

  • Why serviced accommodation beats long-term letting - the income maths explained

  • How to get started: rent-to-rent, own property, or host your own home

  • Setting up a high-converting Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking. com listing from scratch

  • Pricing strategy, availability settings and how to maximise occupancy

  • Photography, decor and the details that get you 5-star reviews

  • Managing guests, house rules, communications and check-outs

  • Dealing with problem guests, party bookings and damage claims

  • Channel managers, OTAs and automating your operations

  • Legal essentials: mortgages, insurance, CCTV, local rules and tax

  • NEW: The 2026 Airbnb Algorithm & Market Update — platform changes, new guest expectations, AI pricing tools

Whether you want to convert your first property, scale a portfolio, or explore rent-to-rent, this course gives you the full picture - from the mindset shift to the first booking.

Includes real case studies from Lisa's own properties. This isn't theory.

Who this course is for:

  • Landlords who want to convert existing properties to short-term lets for higher returns
  • Anyone who wants to start a rent-to-rent serviced accommodation business with low startup costs
  • Homeowners and first-time hosts who want to list on Airbnb and earn consistent income
