Unlocking a Billion-Dollar Opportunity: Stories and Insights Around The Revolution of Accessible Vacation Rentals with Becoming RentABLE


Listen Later

Meet Lorraine Woodward and Adam Norko, from Becoming Rentable, a company on a mission to make short-term rentals genuinely accessible for everyone. Lorraine's story is deeply personal—she was born with muscular dystrophy and is the proud mother of two sons who also have the condition. 

When traditional vacation properties couldn’t meet her family's needs, she didn’t just accept the status quo—she decided to build something better.

In this episode, we chat about:

  • How Lorraine turned a personal challenge into a thriving business that’s changing the game for accessible travel. 
  • Some of the biggest misconceptions about what it means to be an accessible short-term rental
  • The massive business opportunities that exist in the space for entrepreneurs interested in building with guests that need accessible stays in mind
  • And so much more
  • Learn more about Becoming RentABLE

    This episode is brought to you by StayFi. StayFi makes it easy to collect data from and market to every single person staying in your short-term rental. StayFi lets you create a custom branded WiFi splash page similar to what you might experience when logging onto the WiFi network at your favorite coffee shop. 

    This means you can collect the name, email address, and phone number  from every guest staying with you, not just the one who booked…because who doesn’t need to use the WiFi.

    The best part is that once you have their information, you can use StayFi’s email and text marketing tools to keep in touch and make sure they become a guest for life. 

    Head on over to StayFi.com and be sure to use the code “BTS” at checkout for 50% off your first 3 months.
