About this course

Short-term rentals can out-earn a long-term lease by 2x to 3x, but only when regulations, pricing, and operations are handled correctly. This course walks you through licensing and zoning, an Airbnb and Vrbo listing that converts, revenue-management tools like PriceLabs and Wheelhouse, and an automated guest journey that protects your reviews. By the end you can underwrite a property, launch a listing, and run it like a hospitality business rather than a side gig.
