VRMA recently lent its thoughts to an industry blog on strategies for short-term rental business owners.
What is vacation rental networking, and how can I benefit from it?
Vacation rental professionals have a unique responsibility to balance a broad range of needs to manage a successful rental property and create positive guest experiences, such as developing guest policies to knowing how best to market their rentals. Because they wear many hats and often need answers and support outside of their own circles, a strong, knowledgeable network of like-minded colleagues is essential to being successful and profitable.
