S1E3: Middle of the Road vs. Magical

Secretly, this was our favorite episode of the season to record (whoops, guess it isn’t a secret anymore) and that’s because this is our “secret sauce” to our short term rental success.  95% of hosts don’t think about this – and we didn’t either when we got our first Philly STR’s – and that’s why their listings end up being middle of the road.  But after a learning curve, we’ve been able to go from having middle-of-the-road listings to magical ones (which also means more money!) and we dive into both the big picture and small picture reasons why in this episode.

S1E2: Finding Your First Short Term Rental (STR)

Today, we share 3 different methods to finding your first short term rental – including one that might be hiding right under your nose.  We’ve done 2 of the 3 methods (and have friends who do the 3rd) and we talk about the pros and cons of each model and which we prefer – and why.
