Forget Real Estate Conferences - Field Trip Is Where Real Learning Happens

Why You’ll Learn More in 3 Days in Austin Than a Lifetime of Scrolling

Between your wild vision for a highly successful short-term rental portfolio and your reality is a frustrating gap. 

You know what you want to create...but the "how" remains just out of reach.

What if the missing piece wasn’t another course—but a new way of learning? The chance to step inside the exceptional STRs, see how they work, and realize you haven’t been thinking big enough.

That’s what Host Camp Field Trip is. It's your chance to learn the way you were always meant to—by doing.

‍Get in, we’re going on a Field Trip!

The Power of Experiential Learning (Why "Doing" Beats "Hearing" Every Time)

Let's be real: You can't lecture someone into being creative. And the research proves it.‍

You retain only about 10% of what you hear in a lecture and 20% of what you read.

But you remember 75% of what you experience. Crazy, right?

That’s not our opinion; it’s neuroscience. Studies from institutions like Johns Hopkins show that hands-on learning rewires your brain! It fires up the parts responsible for creativity, memory, and problem-solving.

These are the exact skills you need when building something as bold and original as a ultra-pink bachelorette house or a hobbit village in the Texas Hill Country.

And that's why Rob and Kai decided to flip the script on the classic real estate retreat or conference.

No more passive lectures or PowerPoint marathons.
This time, they’d invite just 30 hosts to spend 3 days with them exploring the properties and systems that earned them financial freedom.

The Field Trip Formula: Less Talk, More Action

Remember that 75% retention rate? This is it. We’ve designed every moment to help you lock in the ideas, connections, and confidence you need to finally execute.

‍Behind-the-Scenes Property Tours: This isn't a passive info dump. Walk through one-of-a-kind, high-performing Airbnbs. We’re giving you the keys to explore freely and get the real numbers, systems, and secrets behind these six-figure listings.

‍1-on-1 Conversations: Meet builders, designers, hosts, and investors who’ve done what you’re trying to do. Get honest answers to your biggest questions.

‍Group Strategy Sessions: Get together with other hosts to workshop your ideas, break down barriers, and start creating a blueprint for your own projects.

‍Mindset & Motivation: Your mindset and limiting beliefs can be your biggest blockers. Join sessions to help you address your blockers and fears and redefine what’s possible for you. With guidance from Rob, Kai and other experts.

‍Community & Connection: Community is central to the Field Trip experience. Fireside chats, dinners, hikes, and late-night brainstorms are where partnerships are born and big ideas take shape. Think networking is boring and stuffy? Think again.

Your New Classroom: Rob Abasolo & Kai Andrew’s  Multi-Million-Dollar Portfolios

Over three days in Austin, you'll explore some of the most creative and profitable short-term rentals in Texas.

The Pink Pickle: Design a Viral Brand That Sells Itself

Can you believe this was once just an ugly 3-bedroom 2-bath home?

Now it’s one of Austin’s most famous Airbnbs, The Pink Pickle. ‍

Rob Abasolo spotted a massive gap in the market.
Austin was overflowing with girls’ trips and bachelorette groups—but nowhere designed for them.

So he bought a boring house for $440,000 and went all-in on the pinkest, most unapologetically feminine concept imaginable.

• Ultra pink scroll-stopping design
• Karaoke room
• Pink Pickleball court, pool table and more
• Glam lounge and vanity station

Every inch of this house is a group selfie opportunity. And it keeps breaking its own record for monthly revenue.

The Performance:

• The Price Tag: Up to $1,299/night on peak weekends.
• The Revenue: Consistently smashes records, hitting over $19,000/month.
• The Profit: Mortgage of just $2,300, talk about crazy high returns.
• This property exploded on social media with over 10 million views across TikTok and Instagram!

That’s the power of design, unforgettable experiences, and a killer brand (that’s inspired more than a few copycats). And we're showing you the blueprint.

🔥What will click:

• How to turn a niche idea into a viral brand.
• How to use stellar design to create demand.
• Rob’s system for designing guest experiences that print 5-star reviews.
• The full strategy behind turning an “ugly house” into a cash-flowing marketing machine.

Astryia: Scale to a Multi-Million Dollar Portfolio

Last year, Rob bought his biggest and boldest property yet, Astryia. A 13-unit creative compound set on 20 acres in Fredericksburg. This is his legacy project, and it’s the perfect property to show you what's truly possible with short-term rentals. 

This place is wild.‍

3 geodomes. 3 hobbit homes. 3 A-frames. 4 Scandinavian cabins.

‍$85K–$120K/month in revenue.

Rob purchased it for $5.05M. And after just a few months, it’s now estimated to be worth $7.5M+ after stabilization.

Want to know what proves this is truly a standalone brand?  50–60% of bookings come direct.

The property has room for 33 more units, and Rob plans to add 18 more in the next few months. Now you get to see exactly how he’s going to do it. 

🔥What Will Click:

• How to scale from one property to a boutique resort or multi-million dollar creative empire
• How to design infrastructure that grows with your vision.
• The frameworks and SOPs that keep 13 unique units running smoothly.
• How to turn big ideas into repeatable, scalable systems.
• Unlock strategies for funding, team building, and bringing visionary projects to life.

This is where you stop playing small and start thinking like a true real estate developer.

Earth House: Creatively Stack Income & Multiply Property Value

Earth House is Kai Andrew’s love letter to creative land development.

When he found it, it was a mess. Bad wiring, busted plumbing, leaking roof. You name it, it had it.

Most investors would’ve run the other way. But Kai saw potential (and price negotiating power)

He stripped it to the studs, added square footage (and equity 💰), and rebuilt it into a luxurious, extremely stylish, sustainable and earth-bermed hideaway literally built into a hill.

• The Vision: A one-of-a-kind masterpiece on 3.5 acres, proving that the most overlooked properties can become the most profitable.
• The Value-Add: A strategic rebuild that added significant square footage and equity from day one. Transforming a distressed property into a luxury eco-stay.
• The Luxury Appeal: Every corner of this designer cave feels premium. High-end amenities and private bathrooms in every room command premium rates.

Earth House is weird, brilliant, and unforgettable. And it's going to teach you how to turn land into multiple income streams.

What Will Click:

• How to spot hidden potential and turn raw land into revenue
• Land Hacking: Using zoning, design, and creativity to multiply property value
• Income Stacking: Layering multiple income streams—from main house to event space
• Opportunity Spotting: See diamonds in the rough and turn weird ideas into wild profits

The Secret Sauce: Why Fun Fuels Breakthroughs

Science confirms it: enjoyment releases dopamine, which boosts motivation and creativity. That’s why at Field Trip, the fun is the formula.

Because when you’re relaxed, inspired, and surrounded by brilliant people, breakthroughs happen naturally.

We’ve replaced all those draining conference rituals with experiences designed to spark creativity and connection:

‍Instead of panels, fireside chats that feel like honest conversations.

Instead of networking mixers, pickle ball matches and pool parties where partnerships are born.

Instead of awkward small talk, group hikes and golden-hour dinners that become brainstorm sessions.

This 3-day Field Trip feels like, well…an actual field trip.

We bake the fun in because it’s not a distraction—it’s the catalyst.
