    On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke takes listeners through a string of recent challenges he faced in the world of property ownership—from termites and fire damage to a $46,000 miscommunication with a vendor. He walks through seven issues in total, including an inherited tenant move-out requiring a full unit renovation, a fragrance-sensitive guest, and a collapsing porch post that turned out to be decorative. Through it all, Luke emphasizes the importance of communication and staying resilient as a property owner.

It's great to hear content like this. I am going through an issue with our STR A/C and I was glad to see this show on the episode guide. I wish thermostats were covered a little, but perhaps they are in another episode. I was also happy to hear that buying a Trane HVAC system for our place was the right decision!

Great Information
