How STR Hosts Can Prepare for the Future of the Travel Industry — with Jamie Lane from AirDNA

In just a moment you’ll meet Jamie Lane, Vice President of Research at AirDNA.

After spending a decade at CBRE, one of the country’s largest American commercial real estate services and investment firm, Jamie was itching for a change…
 
He had always loved the hospitality space, and the short-term rental space in particular, so when he got a call from Scott Shatford the founder of AirDNA about joining the team, Jamie couldn’t say no.
 
Tune in to hear Jamie’s thoughts on: 

How savvy STR hosts should be using pricing strategies to increase their occupancy rates
How STR hosts should balance OTAs and the building of their own brands
As well as his hot takes on the future of travel and hospitality
