Canadian short-term rental launch course
Hosted: From Suite to Short-Term Rental
A practical Canadian course for launching a compliant, guest-ready stay.
Learn the setup, rule-checking process, guest experience, pricing, cleaning, and operating systems we used to launch our own compliant BC stay, adapted for hosts across Canada with identifying property details kept private.
Canada-wide, founder-led, privacy-protected
Built from real Canadian hosting experience, without putting our home on display.
Hosted is for Canadian homeowners who want a grounded path from "could this work?" to a guest-ready short-term rental. We use real lessons from our own Fraser Valley launch, while keeping the exact property, listing, address, neighbourhood, exterior, and access details private.
Why this exists
Starting a short-term rental in Canada has become more complicated.
The opportunity is still real, but old generic hosting advice is not enough anymore. Canadian hosts need to think about provincial rules, municipal licensing, registration, insurance, tax, guest expectations, cleaning systems, pricing, and platform setup before they open a calendar.
Hosted helps you work through those decisions in the right order so you can avoid expensive mistakes and launch with a clear operating plan.

Use the launch principles across Airbnb, Vrbo, direct booking, and other short-term rental platforms.

Privacy-first
Founder-led without publishing our home, listing URL, exterior, floor plan, access path, or exact neighbourhood.
Good questions
Before you join the waitlist.
Is this only for Airbnb?
No. Hosted is platform-neutral. The course focuses on launch systems that apply across short-term rental platforms, including Airbnb, Vrbo, and direct booking.
Does the course guarantee bookings or income?
No. Hosted teaches a practical launch process and operating systems. Results depend on your property, location, rules, pricing, seasonality, demand, guest experience, and execution.
Is this only for BC hosts?
No. Hosted is designed for Canadian hosts. BC and Fraser Valley examples may be included where useful, but identifying property details are intentionally kept private.
Does this replace legal, tax, insurance, or municipal advice?
No. Hosted is educational. Students are responsible for confirming current provincial, municipal, strata, lease, tax, and insurance requirements before operating.
