Short Term Rental Riches

Most STR hosts have a pricing tool, a cleaning checklist, and a messaging app. The gaps between those systems are where money quietly disappears. Today I'm walking through five things we've built at Corzly that most STR software doesn't do — from routing guest notes to your housekeeper to automatically adjusting your base price. Use Corzly or not, these gaps matter.
Why your dynamic pricing tool might be working off a base price set months ago, and why that single error compounds into every daily rate adjustment you make
How routing guest messages, private feedback, and review mentions to your housekeeper automatically closes the loop on recurring cleaning issues
The reason your review score needs to be factored into your pricing strategy, and why a 4.6 and a 4.9 property should never be competing at the same rate
Why most STR software, even good tools, still doesn't make turnover confirmation fail-proof, and what a proper AI-backed system actually looks like
A preview of what's coming in Part Two: the AI features that let housekeepers confirm turnovers and submit notes via SMS or voice, automatically logged into Breezeway
These five things aren't complicated — but most STR software doesn't do them, and most hosts don't know they're missing them until something goes wrong. Start with the ones that fit your operation. Subscribe and leave a review, it helps us reach more hosts who need this. Part Two is coming.

Most STR investors spend months researching markets, then hire the first agent they find. That gap between your research and your representation is costing more than you think.
Tyler from Savvy STR Agents works across 25 markets and sees the same investor mistakes repeatedly. What he shares today could change how you buy your next short-term rental property.
Why the agent you hire for your STR purchase might be your biggest blind spot, and what to look for in someone who actually understands the business
The permit research, zoning checks, and revenue projections most generalist agents never think to run before you make an offer
How to evaluate any market for STR potential and what a property walkthrough with STR-specific eyes looks like in practice
What has shifted in the STR buyer's market over the last 12 to 18 months, and where the real opportunities are sitting right now
The single most underrated property feature serious STR investors look for, and the one thing first-time buyers consistently do wrong
Tyler, thanks for pulling back the curtain on this. To everyone listening, the agent across the table from you at your next closing matters more than most investors realize. Find someone who speaks the language. Subscribe, leave a review, and share this with an investor who needs to hear it.

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 this episode helped you see your guest list differently, subscribe so you never miss what's next. Share it with a host who's still relying entirely on platform traffic — it could be the most important thing they hear this year. See you in the next one.

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.

Discover the three non-negotiable features any STR security camera needs before you spend a dollar — and the one common feature that actually does not matter
Get a side-by-side comparison of Ring, Google Nest, Arlo, and Reolink, including the one Tim puts on every new property right now
Learn how cameras go beyond security to help you charge for extra guests, unauthorized pets, and other policy violations through Airbnb's resolution center
Find out the exact disclosure requirements every host must follow to stay compliant on Airbnb and protect their listing from being taken down
Understand how to use cameras operationally to confirm check-ins remotely, support your housekeeping team, and protect guests during their stay
Security cameras are one of the highest-ROI tools an STR host can add. Whether you have one property or fifty, the right setup protects your revenue, your guests, and your listing. Subscribe so you never miss an episode, and share this with a host who needs to hear it.
