What's your best piece of advice or tip when starting out managing a STR?

[Jenny Milu]

We are closing on our first STR this week! YAY!

It's a completely turn key property, the sellers are transferring their profiles over on all of the booking sites, all of their contacts etc... It feels so easy and like a dream!

What's your best piece of advice or tip when starting out managing a STR?

Getting the sellers profiles sounds good, but not generally allowed.

This might bight you later when the platforms realize you are not the original owners.

I'd get everyone's contact info and tell them you are setting up new profiles under your name with your bank account etc. and ask them to rebook under the new profiles.

Then I would offer discount pricing to start with to get more reviews and build your brand.
