Key Takeaways:

“There’s a lot of options when they’re just starting out as they compare the different options out there. Really, think about the sort of risks and return equation. What do you have to put in in terms of that strategy, not just the cost of the program but what it’s teaching you in terms of how much time and money you have to actually put at risk to implement that strategy versus the return that you get. When you think about it in that perspective, I think you’re going to see some significant advantages with implementing a strategy in short term rentals, especially one that’s been proven to work.” – Simon He

“I think whether people do it on their own or whether they hire it out, there’s enough nuance to it that you definitely want to have things figured out and systems put in place before just diving into it.” – James Svetec
