Well, let me correct that - I co-host these properties with my sisters Ashley and Erica and even though we've learned a lot in the process... we wish there was a manual on how to reduce the learning curve. With that in mind, we've decided to sit down to talk about the journey of scaling from 3 to 17 properties, discuss how we've saved time by implementing more smart processes, and share our best tips to turn an average Airbnb experience into a 5-star raving review!Takeaways from this episode:-You can get your property listed on Short Term Rental websites even before the space is ready to be used.-Tech is more important than you think when you're managing properties.-Keep and update property guides on digital and print form.-Coordinating supplies for multiple properties isn't a small task - use technology!-Create templates for bookers' FAQ's to help create consistency (and save you time!).-Have a roster that looks like an 'army of cleaners' as life happens and you'll need different availabilities at different times.-Ensure that you also provide ample cleaning supplies for the guest. -Have good quality amenities (including 3 ply sheet toilet paper)-Have a 24-hour assistance people in case of emergencies.Resources -Breezeway app:https://www.breezeway.io/ -Who Gives A Craphttps://us.whogivesacrap.org/For show notes and Wendy's Airbnb properties visit:http://flippinwendy.design/blog/podcast-episode-10Sheets: https://rstyle.me/+RnZ6QeqE8RFf-FEyO7BNpgTowels: https://rstyle.me/+6ywfml9IrtZbTvQLzMfn3Q
