LAUNCH EARLY. EARN MORE. DOMINATE STRS IN A DOWN MARKET.

Most hosts wait too long to list their property.

Losing the prime booking window and leaving thousands on the table.

In this episode, we break down:

  • How one STR booked $18,000 before the remodel was done
  • Why booking windows matter—and how to win them
  • The Pre-Stay Checklist that guarantees 5-star reviews
  • How economic downturns = once-in-a-decade STR opportunities
  • Why boutique STR operators are set to dominate as big players collapse
