3 Ways You’re Leaving Money on the Table in Your STR
This episode may be a bit controversial, but we’re here for it. There is extra work and extra costs associated with any short-term rental, and we believe this is work you should be charging for.

Unfortunately, we can’t always predict when that love and attention is needed, forcing us to schedule service, at times, during a guest’s stay. Today’s episode is all about managing the super important communication around this particular quirk of STR life.

Double Your Bookings with This STR Listing Strategy
How can you ethically list your large rental twice to make the most of a bigger property? With this setup, you can still make the most of your property based on the time of year and local events, by prioritizing the larger listing and making the smaller version unavailable.

You guys have great banter. Helps keep the listener interested
I can’t get enough!
These girls are super knowledgeable and really fun to listen to. I find nearly every topic they discuss to be applicable to me in my hosting business.
Great Tips and Information!
I have loved listening to Annette and Sarah’s podcast, and have learned so much from them and their guests! My husband and I have been fixing up a lake cottage and are hosting our first family today! The content on the podcast has been so helpful as we have started our STR journey! I also resonate with the intro- whether you are “new or nervous”- it is what drew me in from the beginning!
Thank you, and keep up the great content!
