How Ryan Luke Built a £100K/Property Mid-Term Rental Business (Without Airbnb Tourists)
Description
🎙 Welcome back to the Episode 793 of Boostly Podcast! 🎙
👋 Welcome to Boostly, where we give STR and MTR owners and managers the tools, strategies, and support to win more direct bookings — no fluff, no ads.
In this Boostly Bootcamp session, Mark Simpson is joined by Ryan Luke to unpack one of the hottest strategies in short-term rentals right now: medium-term stays of 30 days or more. With Airbnb reporting that one in every five bookings is now over 30 days, hosts who adapt will win big.
Ryan shares how he scaled from hundreds of short-term rental units to a leaner, more profitable business focused on contractor bookings. He explains how buying the right properties, converting them into 4–6 bedroom homes, and targeting the contractor niche transformed his business into a sustainable, stress-free model. You’ll hear his journey from 450 units and chaos to just 59 highly profitable properties, how he attracts four- to seven-month stays, and how he now raises capital to expand without relying on OTAs.
Let's jump in.
