Is it possible to earn $1.5M without owning real estate? Can Airbnb automation replace a 9–5? Can systems outwork people—without burnout?
Adam Hager, co-founder of Airpreneur, has assisted over 350 clients in establishing profitable Airbnb businesses through his mentorship platform. His expertise lies in automation, systems thinking, and the Airbnb arbitrage model, which he used to rapidly scale his own portfolio from zero to 19 units within a year. This expansion generated over $150,000 in revenue with a 55% profit margin, all without owning any properties.
Adam shares actionable insights on cracking open the “arbitrage” business model, where to find the best rental opportunities, how to automate guest experiences, and why AI is revolutionizing the short-term rental market. From building five-star hospitality systems to tapping into Airbnb’s new “Experiences” platform for additional side income, Adam reveals how anyone can build freedom and security in today’s shifting, tech-driven landscape.
