Hi, I’m Izat
I’ve been an Airbnb host in Kuala Lumpur for over 10 years. I currently manage 40+ units, and I teach people who want to start their own.
My story
Where It Started
I started Airbnb in 2016 with one unit. In the beginning I knew nothing, so I researched the business, found a property, and convinced my wife to help me raise the initial capital. Together we turned an empty unit into our first listing.
In the early days I did everything myself, like setting up the unit, answering guest enquiries, housekeeping, and laundry. It was tiring, but I took everything as learning experience. Soon, with business financing and my family’s support, I grew to 12 units by 2020.
Then COVID hit. Borders closed and bookings vanished almost overnight. I had to shut the whole operation down.
To survive, I sold takoyaki for three years by the roadside. I put my pride aside because the priority was to earn a living and support my family. It was truly a humbling experience but I never saw it as a failure. It taught me humility and resilience.
Starting Again in 2023
In 2023 I decided to get back into hosting Airbnb from zero, only this time, I was equipped with experience. I began working with investors who wanted extra income from Airbnb without managing it themselves. I applied what I had learned, refined how I ran things, and rebuilt slowly.
By the end of 2025 the portfolio grew into 28 units. In 2026 I kept expanding with business financing, and today I manage more than 40 units across Kuala Lumpur.
Why I Started Airbnb Biz With Izat
After almost ten years in this industry, I’ve built a business, grown it, lost it, and started again. I know starting out can feel overwhelming when you don’t know where to begin. That’s why I created Airbnb Biz With Izat.
I share the practical knowledge, real experiences and strategies from my journey so you can start better prepared and avoid the mistakes I made. I'll share the real business, the challenges, the numbers, the operations and the hard work behind it.
Airbnb isn’t just about putting a property online and waiting for bookings. It’s about running a business, managing operations, understanding the market and making informed decisions.
Your Airbnb journey doesn’t have to start big. It just needs to start right.

What I do
I host Airbnb units in Kuala Lumpur
Currently I have 40+ active units mostly KL, and all around Malaysia. Each of them are managed following the methods I developed and teach.
I teach new hosts
I teach people how to start and manage their own Airbnb. Learn at your own pace or have me guide you directly or managed for you completely, choose from what suits you the best.
And if you already have a unit, you can have me audit the unit's performance or even have me co-host your unit.
I help unit owners earn
Apart from hosting and guiding the program members on on how to start their Airbnb business, I also offer services for those who are already in the business. Either by auditing to improve their current listings or offer a co-hosting program.
