TDG's Virtual Course 

Do You Dream  About Owning a Vacation Rental? 


Wondering if you should capitalize on the short-term rental boom? 

Already closed on a rental property and wondering “now what?” 

Want to make sure your short-term rental is financially and personally rewarding? 

Been in the biz for a while, but feeling like it’s changing faster than you can keep up?

Want to learn new skills to make the most of your existing investments? 

 Welcome!  You've Arrived At Just The Right Place! 

A short-term rental is so much more than a real estate investment—it's a hospitality business. While typical investments deal in numbers and markets, short-term rentals deal in experiences.  Sometimes hundreds of them a year!

 

This requires a specialized set of skills that combines both market smarts and the ability to deliver professional hospitality to guests. Without hospitality, you simply won’t make it in the crowded rental market.  And remember: hospitality is a state of mind. 

 

To succeed, you must use empathy to anticipate your guests’ wants, needs, comfort levels, and fears—then deliver an experience that deeply understands them. This self-paced course will help you do just that (and so much more)!

 Are You Ready to...


👉🏼 Learn how to deliver an experience rather than a place to stay?

👉🏼 Avoid all the mistakes that turn away many before they even see a profit?

👉🏼 Build a profitable hospitality business with the help of a

10-year rental industry veteran (and 25-year real estate pro!)

who has obsessively studied the secrets of hotels?

 

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

 

This course will take you through the process step by step,

shaving years off of your learning curve!
