Twin Cities Short-Term Rental Investing

Want more bookings without lowering your prices? It starts with your listing.
Join us for an in-person, hands-on workshop at St. Paul, hosted inside one of Tanya Rooney’s own short-term rental properties in St.Paul. This session is designed to help you turn your listing into a high-performing, booking magnet.

We’ll break down exactly what makes a listing stand out in today’s competitive market—from photos and titles to descriptions and conversion strategy. Then, stick around for the Live Listing Clinic, where selected submissions will be reviewed in real time.
If your listing gets chosen, you’ll get direct, actionable feedback from Tanya in front of a room of fellow hosts (honestly, one of the fastest ways to level up).

Whether you’re brand new or already hosting, you’ll leave with clear, practical changes you can implement immediately.

The 2026 STR Tax Strategy: Live from a Luxury Airbnb

Join Jo Hanson, Founder & CEO of The Works BnB for an exclusive evening at The 1910, a top-performing luxury short-term rental in Linden Hills, Minneapolis.

From 5:30–6:00 PM, tour the property and see what a design-forward, high-performing Airbnb looks like in real life. Then from 6:00–7:00 PM, learn how high-income W2 earners may be able to use short-term rentals as a powerful real estate and tax strategy in 2026.
