Too big for a spreadsheet. Too lean for a CFO. Here is the Scalebook.

Free short-term rental training from an operator who still runs the business. 56 lessons across 8 modules covering market research, underwriting, pricing, real per-property profit, operations, scaling and regulations, built specifically for operators running 8 to 31 doors. There is no fee for any of it.

Free, all of it, permanently. There is no locked advanced track sitting behind the free one, no card required, and no price that appears once you are three lessons in. If we ever build something paid it will be a separate thing with a separate name, and this stays as it is.

Close, but not quite the target. This is built for the point a spreadsheet actually breaks, which for most operators lands somewhere around door eight. If you are headed there, the Research and Acquisition modules will help you underwrite the next couple of doors correctly, so you hit that wall with a lot less to untangle than most operators do.

Because he still operates. He runs short-term rentals across the US and Canada now, not five years ago, and he has coached over 200 people, in many cases building the business alongside them rather than handing over a checklist. Where a tactic only worked in one market or one season, he says so instead of selling it as a rule.

Yes, because the research module teaches a method rather than a list of good cities. You learn how to read demand, supply, seasonality and local regulation in any market, then apply it wherever you intend to operate. Platform mechanics and profit math are the same everywhere.

All eight modules run to roughly nine hours of lessons, self-paced. Each one ends with something you can apply to a real property that week, so it works in short sessions rather than requiring a cleared weekend.

The compliance module teaches how to research local STR law properly and how to react when a city changes the rules, rather than listing rules that will be out of date within a year. Lessons are revised as regulations and platform behaviour move.

We would rather you understood your own numbers. Operators who do are the ones who get value from MagicBNB and stay, and teaching that properly costs us less than acquiring people who churn in three months. The software is mentioned where it is relevant and ignored everywhere else, which is most of the training.

Most stop where the real work starts. They teach you to list a property and go quiet on what happens when occupancy holds at 70% and the property still loses money. This starts at market research and runs through reconciled per-property profit, channel strategy, operations and compliance, for the stage where the spreadsheet has already broken. Every financial claim comes from bank-reconciled numbers rather than revenue screenshots. It also costs nothing, which most of them cannot say.

Probably not as the primary audience. At that scale you likely have, or need, a dedicated ops or finance hire, and this is built for the stage before that, roughly 8 to 31 doors. The Profit and Operations modules will still hold up, but you are likely past who this was built for.

No. Every platform you can list a property on is covered, including Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and direct booking. Channel mix is treated as a strategic decision, because operators who depend on one platform have no defence when that platform changes its rules.

No, and nothing is gated behind it. One module covers the platform in depth, including connecting your PMS and bank, reading per-property profitability and using Milo AI on a real decision. Every other module works with whatever tools you already have, including a spreadsheet.

There is a live monthly Q&A with Geo where you can bring your own portfolio, market or number, plus a private community of people running real portfolios. Both are included at no cost. Questions get answered by operators rather than by a comment section.

Soon. Join the list and you get the opening date and the full lesson breakdown first. Nothing is payable then either.
