Summary
🎙 Welcome back to the Episode 796 of Boostly Podcast! 🎙
👋 Welcome to Boostly, where we give STR and MTR owners and managers the tools, strategies, and support to win more direct bookings — no fluff, no ads.
In this Boostly Bootcamp session, Mark Simpson is joined by Ruben Kanya, co-founder of Invested Escapes and a nationwide leader in temporary housing. Together they unpack how short-term rental operators can pivot into the booming B2B market by targeting corporate relocations and insurance placements.
Ruben shares how he and his wife went from ordinary STR hosts to scaling a profitable business by focusing on relocation agencies and insurance companies. He reveals the data behind the $7.2 billion insurance housing market, why “monthly rentals” is now the keyword you need to win, and how four- to six-bedroom homes create premium opportunities. You’ll also learn his “duplicate listing” strategy for Airbnb, why visibility and searchability matter more than ever, and how to make your business easy to work with for corporations.
Let's jump in.
