HOUSTON – At only 25 years old, Kierra Castleberry, a graduate of the University of Houston, is making a name for herself in the Airbnb industry in Houston and, at the same time, earning a huge amount of money by listing more than 10 properties on the rental site of Airbnb vacation.
“I’m not bragging, but I really know how to position a property, how to make it look good, how to attract people to come to the property, and how to set the amount of money you want to make from it. It’s been a lot of fun and I want to help other people do the same,” Castleberry said.
She was originally an accounting major who worked in corporate America, but now Castleberry is poised to make over $350,000 this year renting properties on Airbnb.
Leveraging her strong sense of interior decorative style and marketing acumen, Castleberry “pays for her success” by teaching other women of color how to succeed in this short-term rental arena.
“I have worked with just over 1,700 women over the past two years. As a black woman, you’re not always treated well, and I wanted to kind of give my clients a way out of corporate America and a chance to really make a lot of money on their own,” said Castleberry.
One such woman, Marsha Evans, a former psychologist who quit her job during the pandemic, heard about Castleberry’s success and coaching on social media.
“I mean, Kierra taught me everything. How to market my properties, how to make them perfect, how to maintain them, how to offer them at the right price,” Evans said.
For Castleberry, it’s not just about making money, it’s about sharing her knowledge of what she’s learned and building long-term wealth.
“The ultimate goal is to own your own property so that you can create and build generational wealth for your family and pass that property on to the people you love. Who wouldn’t want that,” Castleberry said.
