The returns we earn on our short term rentals is a direct result of how efficiently and effectively we manage our short term rentals; there is a lot that goes into it. At the root of it all lies hospitality but since we don't have on-site staff like a hotel might, we have to offer the best hospitality in other ways—virtually. There is also a fine line between too much automation and not enough. My team and I break down all of our operations into three parts: (1) before guest check in (2) during guest check in (3) at guest checkout / post-checkout. Make sure to check out last week's episode (episode 174) on why I believe virtual management is the future of all management. On today's episode we'll talk about the steps involved that need to take place BEFORE your guests even arrive. Stay tuned as I break down for you:

• Your success depends on your management skill

• Your management should be doing this BEFORE a booking:

• Advertising

• Property protection (Guest Verification)

• Pricing

• Communication

• The little things matter…Hospitality

• Making informed decisions
