Meet the Leadership Behind Hosts Helping Hosts

Hosts Helping Hosts is led by operators who’ve been in the game—and stayed in it.

Led by Our Captain: Coach Jim

Jim has been an active Airbnb host since 2011 and has spent over a decade building, operating, and scaling multiple short-term rental businesses across multiple markets.
 

His work and insights have been featured in The Wall Street Journal and CNBC, and he’s the founder of Hosts Helping Hosts, one of the largest and most trusted STR communities in the country.
 

Jim isn’t a theorist. He’s an operator who has navigated:

• Market cycles and regulation shifts

• Scaling from single units to portfolios

• Systems, vendors, teams, and real-world setbacks
   

He knows what actually works—because he’s lived it.
 

A Championship-Caliber Coaching Roster
 

Jim has assembled a hand-picked roster of experienced STR coaches and operators who specialize in different aspects of the game, including:

• Deal analysis and underwriting

• Portfolio scaling and acquisition strategy

• Operations, systems, and vendor management

• Revenue optimization and listing performance
   

Each coach brings real-world experience and a different edge—so members aren’t learning from one perspective, but from a full coaching staff.

 

Why Hosts Helping Hosts Works
 

Most hosts try to improve alone.

The best operators train with a team.
 

Hosts Helping Hosts Coaches combine:

• Leadership from proven operators

• Weekly accountability and structure

• Peer-level encouragement that raises performance
