A VRBO Glitch Cost Us Labor Day Weekend - Handing Off the First Arbitrage Unit
Description
Myka hands off his first arbitrage unit to a management company and immediately watches Labor Day weekend revenue vanish when VRBO inquiry blocks jam the calendar. The glitch costs him a prime holiday weekend, but once he calls it out, bookings roll in and the manager handles a potential 14-person party at his one-bedroom without him leaving the couch.
The hosts compare management styles - Myka paying 15% to stay hands-off, Steve running 400+ doors with two South American VAs for under $250/week total. They discuss the time-zone problem with overseas help, why Local Estates' Mariah is worth every penny when she knocks on the door at night, and how wholesalers miss opportunities by not having a plan B. Chapters cover the VRBO booking glitch, ring camera party interdiction, Furnished Finder inquiries at $1,750, and the case for hiring Central or South American VAs in your time zone.
