The biggest reason STR owners struggle?
They're running a business without a business mindset.

rental has been missing.

"I wrote this because I kept seeing passionate, hardworking STR owners who had no idea if their property was actually profitable — not because they didn't care, but because nobody showed them the right financial system."
I'm Jessica Lawrence — finance educator, short-term rental investor, and someone who has managed the books on real estate investments for over 15 years. I co-host Uncommon House here in Nashville and own Seabreeze Heights down in 30A on Florida's Emerald Coast - so I'm living these financial decisions right alongside you.
These seven tips are the foundation I give every STR owner who's looking for guidance. They're not complicated and they don't require an accounting degree. They just require the decision to start treating your rental like the business it is.
