Airbnb Cleanings + VAs = a $2M Business? Here’s How | Jon Margalit (MU Classic)

What if you could build a 7-figure business without ever cleaning a single home? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with returning guest Jon Margalit, founder of Happy Home Helpers and Rags to Riches University. Jon shares how he scaled his remote cleaning service to over $2 million a year, why private equity is flooding into the home services space, and how he trains overseas teams to deliver elite customer service. He also reveals the hidden goldmine of Airbnb cleanings, the contractor hack that keeps his margins high, and how Rags to Riches University is helping others launch their own successful cleaning businesses — many of which are on track to attract PE offers of their own!
