We get quite a lot of questions and the topics range. I try to lump them together and create a podcast for the ones we get asked most often but I thought it would be fun to do a rapid fire Q&A for this week’s episode. The real world is much like school was when we were growing up - we often don’t ask enough...

People ask me all the time “why did you get started with short-term rentals? They’re so much work, aren’t they?” The answer has always been pretty straightforward; they can make more money, much more money.

Episode 96: Top 15 Pre-Arrival Questions YOU WILL GET ASKED!

Episode 95: Make Your Guest Comfortable

When are your guests most uncomfortable? I'll save you the run around and just tell you; when they arrive. They don't know your rental. They may have been travelling for a long time. They may be wondering if they're even at the right property. They may be seeing a neighbor and wondering what the neighbor is thinking of...

Episode 94: Are You Automating Too Much?

Who is booking your Airbnb? Do you really know? Well if you don't then you might be communicating in a way that will earn you less than stellar reviews.
