built from
doing the work.

I built HostCollective to help you take the next step with someone who has been there.

My experience comes from running an Airbnb business, building a portfolio of over 30 properties, and learning some expensive lessons along the way.

Choosing areas. Assessing deals. Talking to landlords. Figuring out what works on the ground. Those are the skills I help you build, with guidance that relates to the property in front of you.

You bring the ambition.
We turn it into a plan you can act on.

getting started.

You don’t need a portfolio to join. You do need the willingness to build one step by step.

  • 02You’re ready to research, have conversations and attend viewings.
  • 03You can make time to implement alongside your other commitments.
  • 04You understand that setup costs, effort and due diligence are part of the process.

good questions.
clear answers.

01Do I need property experience?

No. The mentorship is designed to help beginners work towards their first property. We start with your situation and build from there.

02Do I have to buy a property?

The approach focuses on rent-to-rent: operating a rented property as short-stay accommodation with the appropriate permissions. You still need to budget for setup and running costs and check the requirements for your property.

03Will I have my first Airbnb in 90 days?

That is the goal we work towards, rather than a promised result. Your location, available time, budget and the properties available all affect the timeline.

04Can I do this alongside my job?

Yes, the plan can be built around your commitments. You will need consistent time for research, landlord conversations, viewings and implementation. We can talk through what is realistic when you apply.

05How is mentorship different from the Accelerator?

The Accelerator is a separate self-study offer for getting started with video lessons and practical tools. Mentorship gives you direct access to Elliot, unlimited one-to-one calls and personal feedback over three or 12 months.

06How long does the mentorship last?

There are two options: three months or 12 months. Both include unlimited one-to-one calls and direct access to Elliot throughout your programme. We’ll talk through which duration suits your goals when you apply.

07How often can I book a one-to-one call?

Calls are unlimited in both programmes. You can book directly into Elliot’s calendar whenever you need one-to-one support, choosing from the available appointments. You don’t need to save your questions for a fixed monthly call.

08What does the mentorship cost?

Apply to discuss the three-month and 12-month programmes and their fees. You can understand the details before deciding whether to join.
