Short Term Rental Riches

Download the Guest Contact Info Capture Checklist
Your Airbnb account can change overnight. Algorithm shifts, fee increases, a sudden suspension, and if your entire guest relationship lives inside the platform, you have nothing.
In this episode, Tim walks through 10 platform-compliant ways to collect your guests' real contact info, legally, automatically, and without sending a single message that could put your listing at risk.
The in-property QR code strategy that converts at the highest-intent moment of any guest stay — and why the offer matters more than the placement
How WiFi login tools like Stayfi turn a giveaway you're already offering into an automatic email capture that runs in the background 24/7
Why your Stripe dashboard may already hold dozens of real guest emails you've never used — and how to start putting them to work
The exact post-stay message approach that stays compliant with OTA terms while sending guests directly to your own contact form
How listing on Google Vacation Rentals and VRBO direct changes the contact info equation entirely — every booking comes with real data by default

If you're an Airbnb host, you've heard the pitch: three million dollars in AirCover protection. Sounds bulletproof. But after managing over 50,000 guests, Tim has seen why the gap between the promise and the payout catches so many hosts off guard.
The claims process is more specific than Airbnb lets on, and knowing it before something goes wrong changes everything.
How AirCover actually works: it is a goodwill program, not contractual insurance, and that distinction matters the moment you file a claim
The 14-day filing window most hosts have never heard of, and why the old "60 days" advice is dangerously outdated
The exact order of steps to follow in the Resolution Center, and why skipping any one of them can get your claim denied before Airbnb ever reviews it
A real-world win: how Tim's team documented a $6,727 HVAC damage claim and recovered it in full from both AirCover and their insurance carrier
Why AirCover only covers Airbnb bookings, what dedicated STR policies cover that it never will, and the one coverage gap that can easily exceed your repair costs
AirCover is a valuable safety net, but it's not a substitute for real STR insurance. File claims within 14 days, document everything, and carry a dedicated policy underneath. If this episode helped save you money on a future claim, share it with a fellow host who needs to hear it.
