About this listen

So many books and social media accounts are out there talking about investing in short term rentals and quitting their day job. This isn’t one of those books. Don’t get me wrong, Airbnb and VRBO can help you generate some great passive income but it takes work, planning and repeatable processes.

My goal with this book is to help you learn how to successfully manage your vacation rental and avoid some of the mistakes I made scaling quickly from my first vacation rental to the over 40 short term vacation rentals that I manage today. This book will provide you with practical & tactical advice and guidance on how to set up and manage your rental for long term success including info on some of the software tools I use, extensive checklists and even guest communication templates I use every day to help automated my process. In short, this is the no BS manual that I wish I would have had before I purchased my first vacation rental.

Below is a sample of just a few of the topics I’ll cover in this book:

  • Getting your home ready to rent - Ultimate checklist
  • Listing your property - Airbnb and VRBO tips and tricks
  • Guest communication- Including templates you can use
  • Managing maintenance and vendors - Including cleaning checklists
  • Financing and Revenue - Taxes, accounting and bank financing

I've broken this book down into short chapters so that it is an easy read and easy to reference all of the information in the future based on your current business challenge. I’m confident that this book will become your go to handbook to help you manage your short-term rental(s). I’m passionate about helping other entrepreneurs achieve success in the short term vacation rental market.

Who is this book for?

I’ve set out to create the ultimate hand book for short term rental owners or prospective owners. This book contains all the things I wish I would have known before buying my first rental.
