Episode 102: 9 Questions You Will Receive AFTER Reservation

My team and I have managed almost 9000 reservations and almost 18,000 guests. From those guests we’ve sent and received over 140,000 messages - it’s a lot I know. While many of those were automated there are some messages that we just can’t automate; when an issue arises. For this week we’ve broken down our top...

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

Airbnb and other OTA’s do such a good job of providing us a platform to list our property. We can put in every detail necessary!

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.

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. Airbnb started as a very personal way to rent a property; a "Host" put their property online and used to meet with a guest, hand over the keys, give them a tour, and...

There are greater forces at play that are the main reason for your success and we’ve talked about that before, so if you missed those episodes go back and check them out :) This week, I want to talk...

Episode 90: Lower Your Taxes By Operating Airbnbs

One of the two biggest expenses that everyone incurs are taxes. Which means, legally lowering our taxes should be of the utmost importance! For easy numbers and simplicity's sake, if you have $1000 in income taxes and you neglect to write off an immediately deductible $500 expense you incurred operating your...

Episode 87: The BEST Flooring For Your Airbnb

In the residential rental world we have lots of choices for flooring but when deciding what to use for our short-term rentals the decision becomes even more important.

Episode 84: How To Cut Down One Of Your Biggest Expenses (Utilities)

We have quite a few costs that go in to operating our short-term rentals. Some of them are fixed, our mortgage or our lease payment for example, but most of them are variable. Meaning, most of our expenses will either go up or down and change over time. These are other expenses like housekeeping costs, maintenance...
