There is a lot to learn in the short-term rental industry. The environment is constantly changing; new tools, tips, markets to look for, and best practices to incorporate into your short-term rental (or your upcoming purchase). Too much to learn in fact that there is no way for me to process it all myself. So to change things up a bit, I've decided to bring on a few other experts in the space in the coming weeks. And if I had to name one of the industry’s most well known experts… a man that literally wrote the book on Airbnb..ing, that would be Jasper Ribbers. Jasper is the host of one of the industry’s top podcasts; “Get Paid for your Pad” and also wrote the book Get Paid for Your Pad years ago before many even knew what Airbnb was! In fact, I read Jasper’s book years ago before I got started with my first Airbnb. This week’s interview is packed full of EXPERT tips. Everything from why you should have an “ammo box” in your rental to how you can have a long lasting, successful partnership. Join us as I discuss with a friend and fellow short term rental expert more on:

Maximizing your experience at in-person conferences
Why being a “digital nomad” has changed
Midterm stay rental platforms and their potential evolution

Tips for someone getting started today!
Future outlook of the STR industry
Having an “ammo box” in all of your rentals
