| 6/23/26 | Everyone Wants Early Check in! | Luke Carl discusses two common challenges in short-term rental management: guests who book the wrong dates and the growing demand for early check-ins. He walks through a real example of a guest who mistakenly reserved less expensive dates and later wanted to switch to higher-demand dates at the original rate, ultimately choosing to cancel and receive a courtesy refund despite being outside the cancellation policy. Luke also shares a new AI-powered workflow that proactively offers paid early check-ins when availability allows, creating an additional revenue opportunity while reducing repetitive guest requests. Throughout the episode, he emphasizes the importance of staying calm, following established systems, and keeping emotions out of recurring guest interactions that are simply part of the property management business.

| 6/16/26 | Current Real Estate Market Perspectives | Luke Carl explains why short-term rentals are still just houses, not hotels, so hosts need to manage guest expectations, maintain properties carefully, and avoid letting small issues like scratched floors or minor dust become bigger problems. He then shifts to the broader market, arguing that many sellers are still thinking like it’s the COVID-era boom, when homes sold fast and over asking, even though today’s higher rates and softer demand have changed the landscape. His main takeaway is that buyers have more opportunity now, sellers need realistic pricing, and success comes from doing your homework and being patient enough to find a real deal.

| 2/10/26 | Cleaning Out The Computer | On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke is joined by Chuck for a rapid fire year end “clean out the computer” conversation covering a wide range of operational lessons and mindset shifts for hosts. They talk through managing guest expectations, why some guests arrive looking for problems, and how much of that behavior is created by hosts themselves through messaging and processes. The episode also covers practical systems like handling broken hot tubs, pricing decisively instead of making incremental changes, navigating the end of the new host boost, and knowing whether you actually want to rent your property or just keep it pristine. Along the way, Luke and Chuck emphasize biting your tongue with guests, letting go of emotional attachment to properties, being proactive with cash flow and cleaners, and focusing on systems that reduce stress while protecting reviews and long term performance.

| 2/3/26 | Nerf and End of Year Recap with Erica | On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke is joined by Erica for an end of year recap focused on guest experience, pricing strategy, and operational improvements. They discuss how Airbnb’s changing amenities and interface updates can quietly impact listings and why it is important to regularly audit settings and messaging. Erica shares how reviewing guest feedback helps identify both strengths and recurring friction points, including how proactive communication can reduce common complaints before they happen. The conversation also covers year end pricing adjustments using PriceLabs, setting higher baselines for the new year, and how small but memorable amenities like Erica’s Nerf gun wall can help a property stand out while supporting repeat and direct bookings.

| 1/27/26 | Are Smaller Houses Easier to Rent? | On this week's episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke explains why smaller, more affordable short-term rental homes are often easier to keep booked than large, high-dollar properties. He walks through the psychology of guest demand, noting that two and three bedroom homes tend to book faster because they fit more travelers’ budgets and search behavior, even when priced similarly to larger homes. Luke also ties this back to a long-term rental mindset, emphasizing that at the end of the day, it’s “just a house,” and steady, consistent demand often beats chasing premium amenities or oversized properties.

| 1/20/26 | Airbnb Cancellation Policy Update | On this week's episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke breaks down Airbnb’s new “date-specific cancellation policies” rollout, which lets hosts set different cancellation rules for different dates on the calendar (with the policy determined by the guest’s check in date). He walks through how the feature works and why it matters. Luke also briefly reviews Airbnb’s current cancellation policy options and notes this is Airbnb-only for now, with hopes it eventually becomes manageable through PMS tools via the API.

| 1/13/26 | Property Manager Fired ME! | On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke shares a candid and unfiltered story about getting fired by a long-term property management company—and the hard lessons that came with it. He walks through red flags like inexperienced managers, poor inspections, inflated rehab estimates, and conflicts of interest, while owning his own mistakes around communication under pressure. The episode serves as a real-world reminder of why vetting managers, setting expectations, and staying involved in asset oversight matter just as much as choosing the right market.

| 1/6/26 | Hostlahoma | On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke is joined by Libby of Co Host Oklahoma to unpack what it really takes to scale a co-hosting and property management business to 45+ units. They dive into balancing owner expectations with guest experience, navigating a high-profile $16,000 damage claim, and building scalable systems using tools like Hospitable, PriceLabs and custom automation. The conversation also explores branding, networking, co-hosting vs. property management, and why quality, simplicity, and strong relationships matter more than over-the-top amenities.
