This week we're going to talk about all the things that you should be doing before a guest actually checks into your property. So these are things like advertising, like pricing, like the communication with our guests and all in the episode with just a quick checklist that our receptionists are reviewing for each and every guest that checks in to one of my properties. The success we have with our short term rentals really does come down to our property management. A lot of mentors of mine or people that I really look up to in the real estate space that have acquired huge portfolios of real estate, they very often say that they would much rather have a B class property with A class management than an A class property with B class management. Why? Because if they have poor management and the property sits vacant well, the property's not going to return very well. And that is the same for short term rentals. If we have a vacant short term rental, it's not going to be a good investment for us.
