1️⃣ Post your next few available openings on your social media stories. (Seems simple, but have you done it?)

2️⃣ Check in on your pricing strategy. Are you using dynamic pricing? If so, check in to make sure you are pacing with the market and adjust if necessary. No, the airbnb one doesn’t count. @pricelabs and @use_wheelhouse are my favs

3️⃣ Update your photo descriptions. The airbnb algorithm loves to see active listings and changing photo descriptions is a great way to to show them you are active! Our team uses my 1:1:1 rule - update at least one word in one photo caption once a week on every listing.

4️⃣ Respond to ALL of the reviews your guests leave you. Again, Airbnb loves to see hosts being active on the platform and guests love to see responsive hosts! Seeing you engage with past guests helps them know you are committed to their future experience.

5️⃣ Investigate services like @stayfi_software to start capturing guests contact information so you can market to them for future stays!

3 Lies You’ve Been Told 👇🏼

1️⃣ The Airbnb market is dying or there is an Airbnb “Bust”. The truth is that the industry is professionalizing and people who are hobby hosts will not survive.

Hosts (like me and my mentorship clients) who provide elevated guest experiences and treat it like an actual business are seeing profit increases year over year.

Want my best tips to elevate your guest experience? Comment ELEVATE and I’ll send you a free guide.

2️⃣ The more expensive the property the more profit it will make. I have a house I paid 299k for that makes more profit than 900k houses I’m running numbers on 😳

It’s all about finding the RIGHT house, in the RIGHT market, at the RIGHT price. If you don’t know how to run these numbers or define your search criteria, let’s talk.

3️⃣ You have to have a MASSIVE portfolio to make enough money for it to be worth it. I have a small but mighty portfolio of elevated properties that attract discerning travelers and have more than made enough to replace two very healthy w-2 salaries.

Y’all know how I am about my white sheets... If you are new here and have any other color than white sheets in your short term rental I’ll give you a few weeks to get your act together, but let’s work on that ok? 😆

For the rest of us, you know it’s a constant (but noble) battle to keep everything crisp and the whitest of white!

I ask my head cleaner how she does it after hosting thousands of guests and she said she soaks it in her “secret weapon” (it’s not in normal stores and I’d never heard of it)

The #1 Thing My Clients Tell Me 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

They scroll Zillow all the time but have no idea what to look for or where to start, they have been stuck in analysis paralysis for months.

I’ve been there, I’ve taken A TON of DIY courses only to be disappointed time after time because I needed someone in my corner helping me navigate MY situation.

We offer ONE-ON-ONE mentorship to help you open your first or next STR property.

We take on a very limited number of clients so that we can commit fully to YOUR success. We give our clients the keys to the kingdom to see how we run our business, no questions are off limits.

We teach you how to:

1. Analyze and Acquire your property

1. Physically set up your property so that it stands out in the most crowded markets.

1. Digitally set up your property so it can be run efficiently (just a few hours a week) and make the most money possible!

When was the last time a hotel asked you to clean or strip the bed?

The STR industry is maturing and professionalizing which means there are more people in the business and there is more competition, including hotels.

Hosts who don’t prioritize guest experience from start to finish will not be as successful as those who do.

There have been numerous articles stating that check out chores are one of guest’s biggest complaints with STRs.

We only ask guests to make sure the dishes are loaded and started in the dishwasher.

I recommend NOT asking for a laundry list of items to be done when they leave (pun intended)

We added high quality video virtual tours to all of our properties because it was a VRBO option and the conversion rate was STAGGERING.

After that I included a photo with a QR code linked to the tour video in my Airbnb listing…guests LOVE it 🙌🏼

I take it one step further and use a video hosting platform for the QR code that allows me to put a call to action button that takes them directly to my booking website where I make significantly more per booking than on Airbnb or VRBO.

After 100’s of requests, I have FINALLY put this into its own training where I walk you through step by step of EXACTLY how we do my video virtual tours, shot list for the videographer, AND how we do the hosted “book now” landing page!

How long it takes depends on if you have to do any construction or renovation, but average for a property is 4-6 weeks. We’ve done it in as little as 8 days, but we were hauling 🍑

Setting up a STR property isn’t always the fun design part, there’s a lot of random kitchen items that go in it.

Here are my favorite STR kitchen items!

No joke, people ask me all the time if “*name the random* small town” will work as a short or mid term rental. I never write them off but always check a few things:

1. Is there industry in the area like a power plant or manufacturing that brings in high level seasonal workers?

2. Is there a local or regional hospital that draws traveling doctors and nurses?

3. Is the local area encouraging commerce and actively growing?

4. Is it a thoroughfare on the way through two larger areas and a route where people drive through a lot?

Sometimes you just need to look in your own back yard for a slam dunk market. Our small town STRs host people coming in for funerals, family reunions, grandkid visits, engineers, doctors, etc etc etc.

1. Before Videos: Social media content is always important and people LOVE before and afters so get that empty room content of your short term rental!

2. Start the dishwasher: there are always multiple dishwasher loads when setting up an airbnb so I start the dishwasher first so it can be working while I do other things.

3. Get the cardboard out of there ASAP so you can see what you are working without the clutter. Break down boxes as you go if you have to haul it off.

4. Get the bathrooms setup for a quick win and check something completely off the to do list!

After so many airbnb setups you best believe I have it down to a science! I have a few items that I use EVERY. SINGLE. TIME I setup a property. Think my favorite “can’t hurt you” box cutter and no slip rug tape.

5 reasons I LOVE college towns for STRS beyond sporting events!

☝🏼save this post so you can find it later and share with a friend who has an airbnb!

1. Orientations and prospective student visits
2. Parents visiting kids
3. Wedding, Weddings, Weddings
4. Traveling professors and executives
5. Construction workers for ever expanding infrastructure.

When we started investing in short term rentals I didn’t have all the answers nor did I have a ton of money to invest, which is why I knew we needed to make a change.

I didn’t want money to dictate the decisions we were making for the rest of our lives so instead of letting it stop me, I let it fuel me to find a different way.

I was more afraid of staying where we were without the time and financial freedom to make decisions for what was best for our family than I was taking the leap and investing in myself to change it.

📱 Have you ever heard of affiliate marketing? All of our properties can be shopped through our website and our guidebooks.

💰We make a small percentage of the sale when someone buys an item!

🥂Guests LOVE that they can find the items easily and purchase for their own homes and we love sharing the items we curated for the space.

🌟I personally use @ltk.creators and @amazoninfluencerprogram but @minoanexperience and @magiclinks have affiliate platforms you can use as well.

✔️When a guest asks about an items specifically someone on our team always responds with an affiliate link.

🔥We believe in QUALITY over quantity which is why our small but mighty portfolio of ELEVATED properties profits more than a lot of portfolios double its size.

No matter how many times I have worked with one insurance company I ALWAYS get multiple quotes on my property insurance policies.

For STR it’s important to get a landlord specific policy and make sure the company knows the intended use of the space.

Some of the things that I always ask for with coverage:

✅ At least 1 million in liability

✅ Bedbug remediation (knock on wood I haven’t had to use it)

✅ Loss of income coverage should my property be damaged and I can’t host guests.

✅ Personal contents for replacement cost of furnishings.

Want to know the companies I always get quotes trom?

Social media is a fantastic FREE way to increase your airbnb bookings and raise awareness for your business.

1. It’s better to consistently post and get something posted than worrying about creating the perfect post.

2. Give people a CLEAR path to purchase / book your property. Tell them *exactly* what they need to do in each post and in your bio.

3. Videos perform better than pictures and short reels are a great way to grow. People *LOVE* before and after videos and transformations if you have footage. Tell the story about your property and evoke emotion!

4. Spread the love and tag local businesses. Share their stories and local events. Karma pays off here and establishes you in the community.
