If your cash flow depended on guests doing 45 minutes of laundry before checkout, did you ever have a real business, or an unpaid cleaner who happened to pay you rent? Airbnb just rolled out sweeping new rules for hosts, and the internet is up in arms. David Greene is joined by real estate broker, contractor, and ex-Airbnb host Emily Lopez to break down what changed, why Airbnb did it, and how hosts can adapt and still win. In this episode: The checkout chore ban: what you can and can’t ask guests to do, and the 7 house rules Airbnb will still enforce The data crackdown: no more Wi-Fi email capture, gated guidebooks, outside rental agreements, or harvesting guest info for direct bookings Why Airbnb is really doing this: oversupply of hosts, competition with hotels, and protecting guest trust Why the cleaner, not the host, is often behind the chore list, and why cleaning fees are about to go up Practical fixes: linen services, backup washers and dryers, splitting up the turnover, and keeping extra inventory Should you raise prices, go guest-friendly, or move to mid-term or furnished rentals? David’s take on where housing is headed, and why furnished rentals may become the norm 3 things every host should do right now so you don’t end up in “Airbnb jail” Follow Emily: Instagram @emilyalopez | YouTube: You Can DIY a Home Want early access to David’s new program that rewards good guests?

One investor unlocked nearly $500,000 in equity. A house hacker bought a duplex with just 5% down after another lender changed the terms. And a mom starting over after divorce bought a home without a new job lined up. In this episode of Mortgage Monday, David Greene and Christian break down real loans that almost didn’t happen—and how they found a path to closing. You’ll hear: • How they financed an eight-unit student rental after shopping the deal to roughly 30 lenders. • Why a suspiciously low mortgage quote changed after the appraisal. • How classifying a property as a duplex versus a single-family home with an ADU can affect your financing. • How an asset depletion loan helped a buyer qualify using savings instead of employment income. Before you give up on a deal—or jump at the lowest rate—learn which questions to ask and why the details matter.

You own the house. You pay the mortgage. But Airbnb makes the rules. Airbnb’s latest changes have hosts fired up—and this goes way beyond asking someone to press start on a dishwasher. In this episode, I’m breaking down the changes, why hosts are pushing back, and what I think is really driving Airbnb’s decisions. When a platform has plenty of properties but needs more guests, whose side do you think it’s going to take? We get into: • Checkout tasks, house rules, and rental agreements • Cleaning fees—and what guests misunderstand about them • Refund disputes, damage claims, and dealing with Airbnb support • How a guest threw a party and the HOST’S listing got suspended • Why depending on one platform puts your business at risk I’m also sharing what we’re building at Coast to Coast Getaways to connect good hosts with responsible guests. If you take care of someone else’s property, I think that should count for something. 👉 Want to learn more? Head to Instagram at @davidgreene24 or @coasttocoastgetaways.
