[@shorttermsage]

Thats awesome!

[@jjelimbi]

Thank you for sharing excellent information

[@shorttermsage]

Yw!

[@antarsabree3964]

Hopefully doesn't have an app and customer service is terrible. You can't just call if you have issues. You have to email and hope someone will reach back out to you. This could take several days. My recommendation is Hostaway or Guesty if you have more properties.

[@ASABIO623]

I'm closing on my first STR on August 3rd. just bought the August lock and love it.

[@Blkdegree]

What type of lock would you recommend, if I’m renting out an high rise and you have to use a key fob and a sensor to get into the garage and use the elevator?

[@jawfitness]

thanks for the video, would you know what title or how to categorize myself(the host) with the carrier? One carrier had me down as Property Manager, but I wasn't too sure if that's the best or safest way to put me as.

[@williamgreene793]

do you have a specific model of smart lock you prefer?

[@KT-bw6jo]

So other than insurance deduction, what else do you do with your noise detector? If it notifies you that things are too loud, how do you handle it? Does it record the date and time of the incident? TYIA

[@DaveUyan]

curious what situations would a noise monitoring system help with insurance claims?

[@heatherweber531]

I've noticed that Airbnb has insurance to cover guest damages to the property and items in the structure. Is this enough insurance? I am trying to get a tiny house on wheels ( a retired fishhouse that looks like a log cabin) to be accepted by my county. I was just told that even though I was going to have a composting toilet in the unit the ordinance states that " the short term rental unit must be connected to an approved SSTS or served by central sanitary sewer system. " I don't know a tiny house on wheels that have septic connected to the mains. Rvs and camper trailers are not allowed to be rented in this area. do either of you know a way around this hurdle?

[@vaneldossous2821]

Awesome video, what is the noise device called? And where exactly can I find them? Appreciate the great content.

[@shorttermsage]

Noise Aware :-) You can check out our video on noiseaware at www.shorttermsage.com/tools

[@jawfitness]

and since you mention using a channel manager such as Lodgify, how are things handled when there is an issue or a dispute between the host and guest? Lodgify tells that it is handled through them, so does that mean the policies and insurance that vrbo or airbnb uses, will then not be in play if Lodgify is handling things? Can someone please advise?

[@i4vision]

The link for the tools isn't working, it lead to your home page no tools listed there. Also try adding /tools and same it take me back to your home page. I will appreciate if you send me the link. Thanks

[@SteveDodsonatDodsonOrchards]

HELP! Our properties are in areas that do not seem to have any or much competitive data to go into these platforms and AirBnB is usually so far off on price. Usually way too high.

[@shorttermsage]

Check our video on analyzing property with no or little data

[@Julian-mc2lk]

What was the name of the dynamic pricing tool? Also, is it available in the Uk

[@shorttermsage]

Wheelhouse or Pricelabs. Links are in the description

[@jenniferkannapel9450]

What type properties do you own or host? Apartments? Homes? Do you use a booking contract?

[@shorttermsage]

Both, apartments and SFH

[@TalkingCashFlow]

Great Episode! I’ve liked this and subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to going through your other videos. Side question, would you be kind enough to send me the name of the editing company that edited this video? Thank you!

[@shorttermsage]

It's our in house editor

[@stanmoney8470]

Are apartments okay with you putting on smart locks?

[@shorttermsage]

some of them, not all

[@kolezzz]

Link to the recommended tools does not have any tools.

[@nancyanderson36]

How can I contact you? Are their any airbnb networking sites?

[@shorttermsage]

Contact is in the description

[@abdulsharif6541]

I am planning to use "All 6 of your tools"

[@shorttermsage]

:p

[@ToddBizCoach]

Regarding pricing , how does raising pricing based on demand generate goodwill and develop your brand if ia property or host is viewed by tourists as being tourist unfriendly ? That is, always overcharging guests without regard to their well being?

[@DocPegLegRed]

I get what you are asking but dynamic pricing is the standard for hotels so it would make since to have it for your STR. Also, The large majority of your customers are not going to be returning just because of the nature of short term rentals. And the ones that are I guess could always contact you directly and you can choose to give them a different price if you want to keep that customer. I’m new to this so this is more of my opinion I think accurate

[@ToddBizCoach]

@@DocPegLegRed I am speaking of STVRs not STRs. The large hotel chains have a weekend price and a mid week price. Many vacation rentals have been successful for years by using only two or three weekly prices; high demand and off season. A good way to turn off regular repeat customers/groups is to constantly change prices. Set yourself apart from competing STVRs not similar to them to cquire a loyal customer base.

[@DocPegLegRed]

@@ToddBizCoach STR is a broad term. Everyone is different. I just disagree. I have had a long term tenant for 3 years and told him at the very beginning that I will never raise rent on him. He’s a great tenant. I get goodwill in that scenario. I would much rather have a long term tenant that is happy even if it means I’m not making top dollar. I just see STR and STVR differently. They are paying for a service and it makes sense to use dynamic pricing. I take weekday trips and I travel outside of holidays because I know it saves my family money when we do. I expect to pay more during peak times. Dynamic pricing can also mean excepting $120 a night instead of your standard $200 if there is low demand. Then you’ll have a happy person there that feels they found a great deal. And you as a prop manager/ owner will have brought in some income instead of leaving it vacant

[@DocPegLegRed]

I mean I see STRs abs STVR differently than I see traditional tenants

[@ToddBizCoach]

@@DocPegLegRed families plan weeklong vacations long in advance. I know people who book 6 months to a year in advance. Dynamic pricing is “ penny wise and pound foolish “when it pertains to attracting and keeping loyal clientele. In addition by using 3rd party marketers and booking directly it avoids the high cost of 3rd party platform charges to customer and property manager.

[@MoRpHiNe_NPC]

hello! Wondering how I can get in contact by email or phone with cohostit management thank you!

[@gracecurve]

Booking.com owes me $4k. They have kept every penny from my first bookings. How can I avoid them in API?

[@befrb7470]

Have booking payed you?
