The STR Laws and Essential Best Practices Seminar reviews:
This course is the approved education requirement for applicants wishing to obtain an STR/STVR/VH business license, registration, or permit in several cities. Some states may also allow for real estate CE. The curriculum contains the core information officials want STR owners, hosts, property managers, realtors, and vendors to know. A student who provides a certificate of seminar completion within an application process tells the officials that the student understands core STR practices.
Students who pass the STR Laws and Essential Best Practices Seminar will receive a Certificate of Seminar Completion. This highly-rated and popular course is ranked within national and international "Top Ten" training course lists for STR and property management. The seminar curriculum is part of a longer course that has been reviewed and approved through Higher Education Divisions and Real Estate Commissions in several states. The content is secure from being influenced by commercial interests. No sponsorships, endorsements, or advertisements are accepted or allowed. Certain brands or locations may be mentioned in discussions or used as examples for instructional purposes. Students must complete their own research before making business decisions.
This is a four-hour seminar about essential elements of STR management. The STR Laws and Essential Best Practices Seminar can be a stand-alone training course or the first segment within the more comprehensive STR Certification Course. This seminar is not the complete STR Certification Course (which requires at least 14 hours of lectures, assignments, and discussions covering more topics, with a more comprehensive exam).
Some cities require the full STR Certification Course, so please check the ordinance or the information the city provides about their education requirement to ensure that the city also approves the STR Laws and Essential Best Practices Seminar for the city's STR education requirement. (The other three segments of the STR Certification Course series can be taken separately from this seminar.)
For many people, Vacation Home/Short-Term Rental (STR) management seems as simple as listing a home for rent to guests for short stays on a reservation site like Airbnb or Vrbo.
But STR is much more complicated than a simple listing. STR owners and managers are responsible for the safety of guests. And poorly managed STRs are negatively affecting other STR hosts, sister industries, and local communities. STR requires planning, sound business management, regulatory compliance, clear communication, and appropriate monitoring of each guest's stay. In this seminar, we review resources, laws, practical tools, systems, and best practices that can help hosts manage code-compliant, safe, enjoyable, and profitable STR businesses.
There are no prerequisite courses required to register for this seminar.
