How to manage move-ins
How to respond to member messages
How to handle maintenance requests and house rules
How to avoid the most frequent operational and member-management pitfalls
For the best possible start, dive-in as soon as your listing goes live. Your launch, your members, and your long-term returns will all benefit from this investment
Because the Academy answers the majority of questions new Hosts have in their first weeks, Host Advisors will refer you to attend New Host Academy BEFORE providing 1:1 support on operational or member-management issues.
