Thanks for getting back, I guess my main questions is with the co-hosting requirements, these specific ones below, what if I have a wealth of hospitality & property back ground but don't have any of these bullet points specifically through Airbnb. Would this keep me out of being added to the co host network?

• You must have an active listing as a host, full-access co-host, or calendar and messaging access co-host
• You’ve hosted 10+ stays or 3+ stays accumulating to 100+ nights, both in the past 12 months, as a host or co-host
• You’ve maintained an average guest rating of 4.8 or more across all accounts and listings that you support as a host, full-access co-host, and calendar and messaging access co-host in the past 12 months

Yes as you have posted yourself there is a criteria people need to meet in order to be approved as an experienced cohost on Airbnb .... you need to have good ratings and reviews as a host yourself @Blake353 

two options 

1. become a host so you can build up great reviews and ratings so you can meet the criteria 

2 set yourself up as a cohost independently and invest in your own marketing channels and advertising to reach hosts you've identified as your target market 

having a background in hospitality doesn't mean you understand local STR regulations and requirements, how the Airbnb platform works, how to price set and optimise listings and Airbnbs very complicated, ever changing T&C 😀
