Welcome to the FM Host Collective. Glad you are here! - This room exists for one reason: to help Fargo-Moorhead hosts run better short-term rentals and keep more of what we earn. I have managed dozens of listings across the metro and I am tired of watching good local hosts leave money on the table on things that are fixable. There is also room for me to grow as well and learning from each other is how we will all elevate! Here is how to get the most out of this group: 1) Introduce yourself. Drop a post in the feed: who you are, where your listing(s) are, how many doors, and the one thing you are trying to figure out right now. We will point you in the right direction. 2) Browse the categories. Pricing, Operations, Local Intel, and more. Search before you ask; odds are someone already covered it. 3) Post your wins. Booked out a slow week? Bumped your nightly rate and it stuck? Put it in Wins. It motivates everyone and helps the whole room calibrate what good looks like. 4) Show up to the monthly meetup. Same time every month (see the Calendar). One member gets a live hot seat on a real problem, I teach one topic, and we open the floor. Recordings land in the Classroom. 5) Earn your way to the good stuff. As you post and engage, you level up and unlock templates, SOPs, and tools we use to run listings (check the Classroom to see what unlocks at each level). That is it. Jump in. The hosts who get the most out of this are the ones who post. See you in the feed. Jory

A few ground rules to keep this room valuable for everyone: 1) Be useful or be quiet. Share wins, ask real questions, give real answers. No drive-by self-promo. 2) Keep it local and on-topic. Short-term and mid-term rentals in the Red River Valley. General real estate chatter belongs elsewhere. 3) No poaching, no spamming. Do not DM members to sell services or recruit them. Cleaners, photographers, and vendors can be recommended in threads, not blasted. 4) Real names, real listings. This is a trust-based room. No anonymous accounts. 5) Attack ideas, not people. Pricing opinions get heated. Disagree on the idea, keep it respectful, never make it personal. 6) What's shared here stays here. Revenue numbers and screenshots are shared in confidence. Do not repost outside the group. Break these and you'll get one heads-up, then removed. Keep them and you'll get a lot out of this room.
