Best Vacation Rental Resources

[Account Closed]

I'm just getting into Airbnb and looking for recommendations on the best resources. I'm looking for books, websites, tools, podcasts, training, coaching, etc. What have you found to be the most helpful? What would you do differently knowing what you know now?

@Account Closed - I manage a successful 25 unit Airbnb business in and around San Francisco. Here are three resources that I have found terrific:

@Al Williamson is a furnished rental master who runs Leading Landlord University. I took his course a few years ago, which was a combination of really good content to set up a furnished rental business, case studies, 1-on-1 coaching and lifetime membership to a private Facebook group with 200 other furnished rental managers. By the time the course was over, I had rented a home from a landlord, furnished it and launched my AirBnB business—with someone else’s property! That makes it very scalable. Here’s a link to his course:

2. Scott Shatford's AirBnB guide. See the link below. He is the CEO of AirDnA, a data anlytics company that has been aggregating AirBnB data for many years. He was one of the early, highly successful AirBnB arbitragers.
