Susanne Young is a Vacation Rental Strategist, photographer, and author of the eBook Vacation Rental Ownership 2019 She purchased a condo and launched a vacation rental with the primary goal to create an enhanced guest experience The business quickly out-performed the competition in the first year. In a seasonal rental market,and set the bar with 90% year-round occupancy, glowing five-star reviews, no damage reports nor neighbor complaints She discovered that concepts from a former career in healthcare leadership such as efficiency, automated operations, and continuous improvement, were transferable to vacation rentals Remote management with confidence and ease even became possible when she and her husband were out of town Susanne suspected this viable business component would boost the value and expand opportunities to attract out-of-town purchasers A quick sale for a premium price despite a cooling market confirmed her theory. Susanne believes that none of the above was random good luck “When all aspects of a vacation rental are optimized, success can be predicted with near mathematical certainty ” She lives in the vacation mecca of the Okanagan with Dennis, her skiing, golfing, sailing partner and husband of 31 years Time spent with family, close friends, and especially her granddaughters fill her with gratitude.
