Welcome back to the Hosting Hotline! This is an Ask Me Anything where each week we’ll answer your questions on Airbnb, STRs, real estate, and everything in between.Steph asks:My question revolves around events like Taylor Swift coming to your city. She's coming to Indianapolis for three nights, November 1st, and tickets go on sale very soon. We are a five minute drive from where she will be performing. We're using PriceLabs for dynamic pricing and I don't feel like the pricing is accurate quite yet, as I am seeing similar homes listed for anywhere from $500 to $1,400 per night.Do you open up your calendar this far in advance? How do you determine pricing? Should we have a booking minimum? Just curious to hear what you recommend or how to handle those situations in the future.Thanks to everyone who submitted questions.

Hello and welcome to another great episode of Thanks For Visiting. Today’s expert guest, Jesse Vasquez, draws from his knowledge, experience, and passion for the emerging business opportunity in the mid-term rental market when mentoring hundreds of real estate investors, homeowners, and STR enthusiasts. He left his high-earning 6-Figure W2 Healthcare Sales Management career last year to go all-in with AirVenture Hosting and AirVenture Academy.Based in Central Valley, California, he found his niche in operating unique rental homes specifically for traveling healthcare professionals. With solid foundations, ongoing process improvements, and a team now rallying behind him what started from two homes in 2020, he now has a growing owned and co-hosted portfolio of over twenty property listings all over California and Texas. We hear how a sweet nurse named Barbera changed his life forever, putting him on a course to specialize in serving nurses and doctors in the mid-term rental space. We also set the stakes on what a mid-term rental is and how to best operate one, or more, for sustained profitability.And get your notes out for today’s actionable theme – how Jesse identifies, connects with, and contracts with agencies and organizations (at higher rates) in need of the unique services he provides. It’s a masterclass in business best practices – find a niche and nail it.Resources:• Visit thanksforvisiting.com/workshop to watch our Hosting Business Mastery Method workshop!• Instagram: @therealjessevasquez• YouTube: Jesse Vasquez• #STRShareSunday: @trahlyta_cabin• Masterclass: Accelerated MTR Blueprint Masterclass• Jesse on Bigger Pockets: $1M/Year with 9 Rental Properties by Cracking the Travel Nurse Code• Read: Unreasonable Hospitality by Will GuidaraWIN $100k IN CASH PRIZES | There’s a powerful why behind your business.
