 Yep, third Thursday of the month.  Send me a pm if you want to sign up for email notifications.  

I have read AirBnB on Autopilot which has some great ideas but it is really aimed towards someone starting out.  I also read Airbnb Rental Investing by David Daniels but it didn't have much in terms of scaling/systemizing.  And I found a book the AirBNB Virtual Assistant's Handbook, I have full time VAs in my other businesses so I thought this would be great but it was set up for 30+ day stays but there were a few good ideas.  

As far as STR specific podcasts go, I listen to Get Paid for your pad, Sarah and T, Unlocked, Vacation Rental Success, Vacation Rental Revolution, Vacation rental machine. As some are geared towards large rental management companies, I have gotten some great ideas.

It seems like the software is changing fast, and there are so many options.  My plan is to commit to a channel manager software and start building on that, I am pretty sold on OwnerRez.  

Any good books or resources for creating operating systems for managing STRs? Most of the books I have read are geared towards the absolutely new investor. We have three properties up and running and we are now looking at implementing systems so we can delegate more to an employee. My goal is to create systems for housecleaning, periodic inspections, maintenance, new property set up, etc.

It is the third Thursday of the month. Message me and I can give you a link to sign up for automated updates. 

Thanks

Hi Derrick, they have always been on the third Thursday of the month.  But that may change. Send me a personal message and I can send you a link to get signed up to get notifications.

It is really an illogical bill.  Flippers don't limit supply long term. Many buyers don't have the skills or resources to fix up dilapidated houses. Sure there are some that do a poor job (lipstick on a pig type flippers), but most provide true value.
