In this podcast episode, Philip Kennard, the founder of FutureStay, shares his journey from tech entrepreneur to rentalpreneur in the short-term rental industry. He highlights the unique challenges and opportunities faced by individual property owners, or "rentalpreneurs," who typically manage just a few properties. Kennard explains how FutureStay is designed to empower these owners with technology and streamlined processes to help them succeed. He stresses the importance of developing strong operational habits and using technology wisely, rather than rushing to scale up with multiple properties. Kennard advises focusing on optimizing current listings and processes first, emphasizing the value of having a direct booking website and utilizing Google Vacation Rentals to boost bookings and revenue.
