When Gil Chan bought his first two STR’s, he fell in love with the industry. It wasn’t long before he realized things were changing rapidly, and it was tough staying on top of all the changes in the industry. Gil noticed he could improve on the generic direct booking websites provided by OTA’s, made his own custom site, and was told by his friends he needed to quit his job and go full time. And he did! Gil shares his story of how he built craftedstays.com, how it’s helped improve his own properties revenue, and the services he offers to other STR owner/operators. We cover common scams guests use, ways Airbnb has moved away from their original value, and how to set up a direct booking site to boost your business. Download today!
