I recently had an experience with The1Percent, a company that claims to offer Airbnb arbitrage services, promising high profits and financial freedom. Unfortunately, my experience—like that of many others—did not live up to their glossy marketing and exaggerated claims.

From the beginning, their sales team painted a picture of effortless passive income, assuring me that their system was foolproof and that I would see significant returns quickly. However, once I was locked into their program, the reality was far different. The costs associated with securing and furnishing rental units were vastly understated, and the company failed to disclose the true challenges of running an Airbnb arbitrage business, such as occupancy fluctuations, city regulations, and hidden expenses.

One of the biggest issues was the misleading revenue projections. They used best-case scenarios to showcase potential earnings but did not account for real-world variables like market saturation, seasonal downturns, and maintenance costs. When I raised concerns about my actual numbers not matching their projections, the support team offered little practical guidance, often shifting the blame to “execution errors” on my part rather than acknowledging the unrealistic expectations they set.

Additionally, their mentorship and training materials lacked depth, often recycling generic advice that could easily be found online for free. Once they had my money, the level of support and transparency significantly declined. It became clear that The1Percent prioritizes selling their program over ensuring client success.

If you are considering working with The1Percent for Airbnb arbitrage, I strongly urge you to do thorough research. Speak with actual hosts, calculate real expenses, and be cautious of any company that makes it sound too easy. This business model can be profitable, but not in the way The1Percent advertises. Their claims are misleading, and many clients end up losing money rather than making it.

Proceed with extreme caution
