Summary
Sean Rakidzich discusses how his short-term rental business lost money over Halloween weekend 2020. He explains how hosts should change listing settings to prevent future revenue loss and maximize occupancy, emphasizing the need to multi-platform and track the daily pace of bookings. The lesson: minimum night stays are bad. A short-term rental should get as many eyes on the listing as possible for every available night by setting low minimum stays.
