0:00.0	If you could wait to about 72 hours before you're booking, you could score incredible deals
0:06.4	because that's typically when a lot of hosts kick in dynamic pricing.
0:09.9	That was the clip from my interview today with Zach Buzakruz sharing one of the three core
0:14.8	windows to keep an eye out for.
0:16.4	If you want to score epic last minute deals, there is a lot of gold in this episode, which is really
0:22.5	designed to help you do two things. Number one, learn how to save more money when you're traveling
0:27.3	and staying in short-term rentals. Think Airbnb and other services that allow you to rent a property
0:33.4	for a couple weeks, a month. And of course, with the rise of remote work, with a lot of people
0:39.2	in this listening audience being either nomadic or planning to travel long term, this is really

1:36.1	or more on short-term rentals as a traveler over time.
1:40.9	So without further ado, let's get into it.
