I implemented live DNC and TCPA checks (TCPA for both individuals and phone numbers).

I recently reviewed a panel discussion from Phocuswright featuring senior leaders from Airbnb, Marriott, and Casago, and it offered a clear look into where short-term rentals are heading.A few themes stood out:• Airbnb is building a broader hospitality ecosystem through services, experiences, and hotels• Marriott is expanding deeper into professionally managed homes with strict operating and brand standards• Arbitrage-heavy models like Sonder were called out as fragile in changing market conditions• The industry is moving away from “any door will rent” toward fewer, higher-quality, better-operated propertiesMy takeaway from this conversation:Short-term rentals are moving away from being just alternative lodging and toward full-scale hospitality.Operators who focus on quality, systems, local expertise, and guest experience will win.Those relying on thin margins, arbitrage, or volume without standards will struggle.How we’re implementing this in our property management businessInstead of chasing door count or volume, we’re doubling down on:• Property selection over scale, only onboarding homes that can meet hospitality-level standards• Operational systems, including standardized inspections, preventive maintenance, and guest communication workflows• Local expertise, with boots-on-the-ground teams who can make real-time decisions and recommendations• Experience-driven stays, layering in services, amenities, and curated local recommendations beyond just the stay• Owner alignment, working only with owners who understand that quality and consistency drive long-term performanceThe goal isn’t to manage more properties.It’s to operate better properties.Curious how others here are approaching this shift:• Are you adjusting your model in response to where the industry is heading?

Of course, it all depends on the deal specifics, but there's typically more meat on the bone and potentially higher returns when implementing this flip model.

You don't always need a CPA, but if you are doing a cost seg and maybe want to implement other tax strategies along with that, you definitely want to make sure this strategy is implemented correctly.

Creating a supportive network contributes to the overall success of the operation and mitigates any potential pushback from the community.A practical tip is to implement a structured program within the sober living home that focuses on life skills training and accountability.

A location that I have STRs implemented an STR quota 2.5 years ago.  

While this structure protects your compliance with IRS rules, it adds to the complexity to the transaction and upfront cost of implementing the trust.You can’t simply DIY a DST.

Because the data they provide includes sensitive information like SSN, DL number etc...it's considered GLBA data which has strict legal guidelines on how it's used.If you're curious about how much I truly understand about skip tracing data and different strategies on how to implement it into your marketing, just google Larry Higgins Skip Tracing and you'll find some podcasts I've done on the subject.Good luck on your search.

I have been following bigger pockets and real estate rookie podcasts for years and it is my goal to start implementing my knowledge into a substantial investment. 

We see owners implementing a "Smart Home/Asset Protection" fee (similar to a trash valet fee).
