A short YouTube video by Mark Simpson where a professional short-term rental host reflects on lessons learned when preparing a property: would invest in better beds, avoid gimmicks like a disco ball, and consider allowing pets because many midterm guests (e.g., relocating families or those with insurance impacts) bring animals—noting Austin has many pet owners.
Luckily for me, because I was I already considered myself a professional short term rental host. I put a lot of thoughtfulness in the property already, and I didn't have a lot of gimmicks like pool tables or anything like that. So I didn't really have to change much. But if I had to redo it again, I think I would definitely have put better beds in it. I probably would not have spent money on a disco ball. I had a disco ball hanging from the ceiling, just, you know, as a fun, cute amenity. And I think I would have allowed pets. Why the pets have interest just to dive into that. Well, you know, a lot of the people that come into midterm stays are usually impacted by insurance or they have they're relocating as a family. And, you know, when you come to a place like Austin, almost everybody has an animal.
