We're thrilled to have Heather Bayer as our special guest in this podcast episode.

However, Heather quickly realized that the rental business was evolving rapidly and needed fresh, updated strategies to stay ahead of the competition. So, she started sharing her insights and experiences on her blog, providing owners and managers with new methods, ideas, and tools to boost occupancy and revenue.
