If you've decided to think about moving to Nevada but are worried about all the naysayers, here are 15 reasons why you absolutely should not move here.

Ahhhhhh! Looking at vacation properties off of VRBO and AirBNB...

Guys, if you are going to rent out a property please, please do it right!

Pictures--Oh my gosh! Towels straight, no glare, toilet seat down (for the love of God, DOWN!) Beds made properly, and on and on. People should want to stay there when they look at the pictures, not pick up some Mr. Clean.

Pricing--If you are not priced correctly you will get bad guests. So many, many hosts are offering their homes for way, way below its value. That is a recipe for disaster.

Descriptions--don't even get me started.

And if you don't know why any of this is problematic, contact me immediately.

Look, if you want to make some great money in short term rentals, it is a great time to get into the business. HOWEVER, you must understand that this is not for the faint of heart. You have to up your game. Think quality. Think thread count and amenities.

And just maybe, think about hiring someone (us) who knows just how to position your home for the best possible return. Trying to do it on your own, unless it is a full time hobby, is like trying to put in a car engine with no experience. You might do ok...or the engine might fall out in the fast lane.

If you have a beautiful home that you want to turn into a money making machine, give us a call. We can set up a complementary meeting.

Whew, what a year!

With everything going on in the short term rental arena--what with cover cleaning requirements, the always upwards trending standards for AirBnb's, and local regulations changing moment by moment (I just checked the upcoming standards that Washoe Country is proposing--we are already above and beyond their standards) it is a great idea to have a professional property manager in your corner. Not just any property manager, mind you, but one who is laser-focused on the short term market. Trust me, to do it right we have to have lots of plates in the air and it takes laser focus. But that is exactly what we love to do. In fact, I doubt that you'll find anyone In Reno who is willing to work with a vacation home owner--working around when you want to enjoy your home--keeping the home in top shape and making you money. If you have an exceptional home and want to see what we can do for you, contact us!

Good morning!

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of thinking about viruses and distancing. I mean, I’m still being good, but I am pretty much done thinking about it.

What have I been thinking about? Getting back to work!

I thought it would be a good idea to give you some background of the two primary movers behind Entrepreneur Vacation Homes, Etc.

First of all, Paula. She is the one who keeps everything running smoothly, bless her heart! For more than 15 years she assisted her boss and mentor in building a supply chain department for the largest private held home building company in the USA. What does that mean? She inspired the builders in each city to work together in placing their orders with the national suppliers. This enhanced their locations from small time, local impact into something that made heads of major building supply companies take notice. These were companies like Simpson StrongTie, Moen, Kwikset, Kichler Lighting, James Hardy and so many more. Both sides benefited, and their work made this one department more profitable by magnitudes, proving to be a saving grace (they greatly impacted the success of their company during the 2008 housing downturn). How vital was Paula to this process? When she left to move to Reno, her boss quit. She’s great at keeping lots of balls in the air and moving. This is a talent that is very necessary for overseeing short term rentals.

Then there is me, Jacque. I done such a weird variety of things…wife and mom, copywriter, housebuilder, outdoor guide…and my husband and I oversaw a multimillion-dollar resort for more than ten years. All my experiences and my I Can DO attitude make me very adept at overseeing properties, managing the people that keep things moving (housekeepers, handymen, etc.), hosting guests and helping clients be successful.

Paula and I have been friends for more than 30 years and we are excited in building this boutique service, bringing our long suites to bear for our clients.

Why boutique? We are looking for select properties and select clients. We will pour our hearts and souls into each and every property we take on. That is our commitment. Therefore, we want properties we can believe in and clients we are happy to spoil.

If you think you meet that criteria, give me a call—775-636-1920—and we can see if we are the right fit for each other.

A great perspective!

The little girl in the middle was named Wanda. She was born in 1912 to two Swiss immigrants. Her father was a blacksmith, and they lived…

kinda off topic...but kinda not!

I've been praying with about 100 of my closest friends (lol) for the last week and a half. We all committed to keep 24-hours of prayer going for two weeks, each of us taking a time slot and praying at that time every day. It has been a blessing to my soul, to say the least. Today when I was praying....
