Airbnb mentorship or an Airbnb course: which do you need?
A course teaches you the method through videos and leaves the doing to you. A mentorship works through your own first property with you, one to one. If you learn well alone and have time to find a property yourself, a course can be enough. If you want someone beside you until a property is live, choose a mentorship.
The difference in practice
| Question | Typical online course | Parasher Milestone Mentorship |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Recorded lessons, sometimes a group chat | One-to-one calls with Sanjay at every milestone |
| Payment | Usually all upfront | $2,000 per milestone, paid only as each one is completed |
| Finding a property | Yours to solve | Choose from properties already approved by the landlord, or have one sourced |
| Ends when | The lessons finish | Your first property is live and running |
| Guarantee | Varies | 7-day refund, and a suitable property found within 30 days, in the contract |
When a course is the better choice
A course costs less and suits people who want to understand the model before they commit, who already have a property or a willing landlord, or who are happy to work through setbacks on their own.
When a mentorship is the better choice
Some of our clients paid for a course before they found us and still had no property. The usual reason is the same: knowing the steps is different from getting a landlord to say yes. A mentorship suits you if you have limited time, want your numbers checked before you sign a lease, and want to be accountable to someone until the property is live.
Questions to ask before you pay for either
- Does the person teaching it run short-term rentals today, and how many?
- Do I pay everything upfront, or as the work is delivered?
- Who helps me find a property and get the landlord's approval?
- What is the refund policy, and is it in the contract?
- Does anyone promise me an income? If so, walk away. Nothing in property is guaranteed.
Common questions
Is the Parasher Properties program a course?
No. It is one-to-one mentoring through five milestones, from your first numbers to a live property, paid at $2,000 per milestone as each one is completed.
Is an Airbnb mentorship worth it?
It depends on what is stopping you. If the obstacle is finding a property and a landlord who will agree, or the confidence to sign a lease, working one to one tends to help more than more lessons. No program can guarantee an income.
What does Airbnb mentoring cost in Australia?
Parasher Properties charges $2,000 per milestone across five milestones, so $10,000 in total, with each milestone invoiced only when the one before is complete. Setup costs for the property are separate.
