Description

When you have a question about your short-term rental (STR) business, where do you go? Do you run a Google search and then spend several hours sifting through the information? What if you had a community of experienced Airbnb hosts you could go to for knowledge, inspiration and support?

Phillipe Thibodeau is the real estate developer and STR host behind Strawberry Stays, a vacation rental and property management company out of Montreal, Canada. His experience as a host began with a single unit in May of 2017, and now he and his business partner are growing their portfolio quickly—with plans to secure a total of 80 listings in the next 12 months!

On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Phillipe joins me to discuss the pros and cons of self-learning versus being part of a community. He explains how COVID-19 gave him the opportunity to work ON his business and what you can do to develop a playbook for your own Airbnb. Listen in for Phillipe’s insight on the three things you need to know before you start a STR business and learn how YOU can get inspired by an engaged community of Airbnb hosts!
