Toronto Airbnb Playbook

From buying the right unit to your first 5-star review.

Most Toronto condo buyers who want to Airbnb find out the hard way: the wrong building, a registration problem or a pricing mistake can cost them a full season. This 69-page playbook is everything I've learned from about 10 years of hosting, laid out in the order you'll need it.

Written by Fady Nakhla, Real Estate Broker with Royal LePage Signature, specializing in Toronto condos.

Inside, you'll get:

• The one rule most buyers miss and why it can block a unit from being registered for 12 months, even after it sells
• Real payouts from a 1 Bedroom + Den, month by month, and how it stacks up against a long-term lease, even at today's Airbnb fees
• The 29 Toronto condos with the most registered short-term rentals, plus the 4 standout buildings and exactly why they perform
• What each unit type can realistically earn over 180 nights, from studios to 3 bedrooms
• The real setup budget, line by line for every unit size, and where to spend versus save
• City registration, step by step, including the small detail that's the #1 cause of delays
• MAT and HST in plain English, and the route I recommend most hosts take
• The exact PriceLabs settings used on the case-study unit, ready to copy
• Booking settings that keep parties out without scaring good guests away
• A 90-day launch plan to land your first 5-star reviews fast
• Copy-and-paste guest message templates, plus the questions to ask before you ever hire a manager
