STR Property Onboarding Planner

Launching a new short-term rental property involves dozens of moving parts happening simultaneously: furnishing and staging, photography, listing creation, pricing setup, legal compliance, cleaning protocol design, key management, and guest communication templates. Without a clear roadmap, hosts often miss critical steps that hurt their launch performance and early reviews.

This AI role creates a comprehensive, step-by-step onboarding plan for bringing a new STR property to market. It generates a phased action plan covering pre-launch preparation, listing setup, first-booking strategy, and post-launch optimization. Each phase includes specific tasks, recommended timelines, and notes on common mistakes to avoid.

The planner covers the full scope: furniture and amenity checklists by property type and guest profile, photographer briefing notes, listing platform selection and account setup, pricing strategy for a new listing (the launch-phase discount approach), review-building tactics for the first 10 bookings, cleaning and turnover protocol design, and initial co-host or property manager selection criteria.

Hosts provide basic information about their property — type, location, target guest, budget level — and the assistant generates a tailored launch roadmap. It can also produce individual sections in detail on request, such as a complete furnishing checklist or a 90-day revenue ramp-up plan. Ideal for first-time hosts and investors acquiring their first or second STR property.
