Stop throwing money at random upgrades hoping for bigger payouts. A $7K hot tub won’t magically add $30K to your revenue.


The real win? Marketability. Your property needs to stand out, and that comes from smart, intentional amenities—not copying what everyone else is doing. I’ve built properties that outperform the market by adding unique, affordable touches like a barrel sauna, a glamping tent, or spa-style bathrooms. These choices create experiences guests can’t find anywhere else.


If you want to crush it in short-term rentals, focus on strategy over spend. Fill gaps your competitors ignore, and you’ll attract the guests who pay more and come back.
