"The Definitive Study of Vacation Rentals" is about to be published and is available for sale. Having been in the vacation rental, hotel and condo-hotel businesses for the past 30 years their is a lot to tell. Having held titles of President, Asset Manager and CFO, I provide a wide view of how to create and operate successful vacation rental businesses. There's no magic involved! Not many things in life happens by chance. I provide ways to find properties, simple excel models that allow you to evaluate them, language that should be present in all AGREEMENTS you will need, tips on employment, checklists on vital functions in the business and how to optimize your vacation rental revenues. This is a step-by-step map to the vacation rental business. Because things change (programs, costs, websites, etc.) I like to keep an opened dialogue with my colleagues and hope to engage others in polls, questionnaires or to be a guest on my BLOG or SCREEN CASTS. It's taken my two years to complete this book. I believe I've covered every critical facet of what I've encountered in 30 years. I hope you enjoy it. It will be available on Amazon. Richard Evans
