How to Hire Your First STR Team Member (and Buy Back Your Time) | The STR Scale Show with Mike Reilly | Ep 31

You can’t scale if you’re the cleaner, the guest texter, the bookkeeper, and the ops manager.

This episode breaks down exactly when to hire, who to hire first, how to onboard them, and how to keep them executing so you can grow your STR business instead of babysitting it.

• When it’s actually time to hire (not too early, not too late)

• Who your first hire should be in an STR business

• Sample VA schedule for guest communications

• How to onboard using SOPs instead of winging it

• What to pay and where to find VAs

• The weekly meeting rhythm that keeps them accountable
