## Resource

If your STR operation only works because you are the one running it, you do not have a system. You have a bottleneck. In this episode, I sit down with Beth Turner, founder of SimpliHost, to talk about what it actually takes to build a short-term rental operation you can hand off. We get into the handoff test, why hosts hold onto guest messaging and bookkeeping longer than anything else, and how Beth went from seven duct-taped tools to building a platform that brings it all into one place. The goal is not fewer apps. It is fewer single points of failure. What is the one thing in your STR business you would have the hardest time handing off right now? Drop it in the comments.
