For many people, Vacation Home/Short-Term Rental (STR) management seems to be as simple as listing a home for rent to guests for short stays on a reservation site like Airbnb or Vrbo. But STR is much more complicated than a simple listing. And it is affecting other industries and local communities. STR requires planning, good business management, clear communication, and appropriate monitoring of each guest's stay. There are effective tools, systems, and best practices, though, which we review within this class.

STR is an emerging industry, which means it is still in a state of disruption and rapid change. Professionals wanting to work within this industry and even people just marginally affected by it, like realtors, vendors, and public officials, need to understand STR.

This seminar reviews:

• Key STR industry definitions and terminology,
• Significant differences between the long-term rental and STR management,
• How do find applicable laws and standards, locally and in other areas of the country and the world,
• How STR reservation processes work,
• Financial protocols,
• Guest communication,
• Essentials elements for managing 5-star guest stays,
• How to liability and problems,
• Tools for managing multiple units,
• Neighbor relations,
• And more

Registered students receive a copy of the acclaimed e-textbook, Vacation Rental Management 411, which professionals say they use as an ongoing resource for questions about STR management.

Las Vegas is a great destination---and this seminar is a chance to enjoy a trip here. Students can attend in person (with limited seating, so please reserve early). Our host may even provide lunch (we'll offer more details in the registration email). We also have a ZOOM option for students who can't attend in person.

Because the seminar is in Las Vegas, we will also share a detailed guide about the current STR regulations for the Cities of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, and the Unincorporated Clark County, all affected by the Nevada STR law, AB363. This course qualifies for 3 General Nevada Real Estate CE through NRED (CE.6583000-RE).

Some cities are requiring this seminar (but most require the more comprehensive 2-day STR Certification Course) for their STR business license applicants. It's important to note that this seminar is not the full STR Certification Course. (There are live 2-day STR Certification course sessions scheduled in March and April, and an online course option is always available. For details, see www.strcertification.com).
