A practical, start-to-finish roadmap for launching a short-term rental — from choosing the right property and location to permits, insurance, and taxes, through furnishing on a budget, writing a listing that converts, and building the guest experience that earns five-star reviews. Covers the operational side too: cleaning turnovers, dynamic pricing, and the software that keeps a listing running without taking over your life, plus realistic startup costs and a clear framework for knowing when to scale from one property to a portfolio. Built for anyone testing the idea with a single space or planning a multi-unit business from day one.
