How to Get More Bookings Without Dropping Your Price Every Night
The 4 checks I use across my 12 short-term rentals to find why nights aren't booking, and fix one cause today. Free, 7 pages, takes about 15 minutes to work through.

WHAT'S INSIDE
Four checks, in order. Each one ends with something to do today.
01
The Revenue Leak Scorecard
Score eight common leaks in two minutes and find the one costing you the most nights.
02
The Price Ego check
A real home with a $175 CAD price floor, what it did to the winter calendar, and a four-question self-check.
03
The Daily Two-Week Check
The few-minutes-a-day routine I use on every calendar, and when an open night gets a promotion.
04
The 50% rule
One simple test for next month that tells you when to get more aggressive on price.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You host one or more short-term rentals and have empty nights you can’t explain.
You’ve held your price and hoped the calendar would fill.
You want a routine you can run in minutes, not another dashboard.
You’d rather fix one thing today than read about ten.
SKIP IT IF
You don’t have a listing yet (start with the free Facebook group instead).
You’re looking for income promises. You won’t find them here.
Your calendar is already full months ahead.
WHO WROTE THIS
Hi, I'm Ryan Garnhum.
I run Legacy Stays in Niagara, Ontario. I started in 2023 and grew to 15 homes through arbitrage and co-hosting, without buying property. Today I run 12, and I'm an Airbnb Superhost.
Before that, I was CEO of BNB Formula, one of the largest STR education companies. Now I teach with real numbers, including the misses, and no earnings promises.
12
short-term rentals I run in Niagara today
90%+
occupancy on the homes I fully control, Nov 2025 to Oct 2026
2,500+
guest stays hosted since 2023
These are my results from years of operating in one market. They're not typical, and they're not a promise of what you'll make.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Enter your name and email and the guide arrives in your inbox. You can unsubscribe anytime.
Does this only work on Airbnb?
The habits work on any platform. A couple of examples use Airbnb tools, like Custom Promotions, because that’s where most of our bookings come from.
Do I need a pricing tool?
No. Every check works with your calendar and the platform’s own settings.
My market is different from Niagara. Will it still help?
The numbers I use come from one market, so yours may need different ones. The checks and the daily habit work anywhere.
