Good for Newbies and Current Renters Alike!

I thought I knew everything I needed to know about renting my place out, but after listening to this audiobook, I'm glad I waited. This guide has practical tips for things from selecting locations and furniture to designing the look and feel of the rental space. I never really thought about this, but it makes sense that you should start the entire process by looking at the "target audience" (or type of guest you'll be trying to attract) and then making all property decisions around that. The book points out ways to stand out from other listings in a crowded market with everything from furnishings, layout, and decor to writing a killer listing that sings. Especially helpful was the chapter on how to price your rental for the best possible occupancy rate and rate of return and the passages on maintenance and cleaning. Neglect maintenance and cleaning in the short term and pay for it in the long run!
With 393 million bookings in 2022 (a 31% increase from the year before), the short-term rental market is a great place to be if you know how to do it right. This audiobook will help you do just that.

A Goldmine of Information!

I've been toying with the idea of getting into the Airbnb game, and "Short-Term Rentals Playbook" just gave me the push I needed. The audiobook is a goldmine of info, including access to a bonus reference about using AI to optimize occupancy – something I hadn't even considered before. The tips on managing reviews and feedback are super practical, and I can see how they'd make a huge difference in creating great guest experiences. The narrator's style made the content easy to digest and actually got me excited about diving into the world of short-term rentals. If you're thinking about starting an Airbnb or just want to up your rental game, this audiobook is packed with valuable insights. Can't wait to put all this new knowledge into action!

Worth every penny

The emergence of the 'sharing economy' has completely transformed how people perceive and engage in short-term rentals, all thanks to pioneering startups like Airbnb. Homeowners and second homeowners now find themselves in a favourable position to tap into the thriving short-term rental market. By offering their vacant properties for rent, homeowners can enjoy a fresh source of income while providing travelers with an affordable and cosy alternative to traditional hotels and hostels. This book holds your hand to help you know how to be one of those people providing housing. It reads like a friendly sister guiding you through something difficult. Highly recommended.
