Short Term Rentals That Work in BC, Plus the AI Tools That Run Them, with Chad Harker Thursday, November 19th (in person)

Thursday, November 19, 2026. Doors at 6:00 PM for networking, program starts at 6:30 PM.
Best Western Plus Kelowna Hotel & Suites, 2402 Highway 97 North, Kelowna. Boardroom in the conference centre tower, above the lobby (follow the signs). New room this month!

Chad Harker went from 4 short term rental listings to 19 in about a year. He didn’t do it by working harder. He did it by building systems, and today about 80% of his guest messages run on autopilot. Chad is the founder of Eco Escapes in Edmonton, and he’s coming to OREIG to show you exactly how he does it.

Part 1: Short term rental strategies that work

• How Chad started: a fixer-upper, a spare bedroom and the master suite on Airbnb
• What makes a stay memorable enough that guests book you direct next time
• Getting more direct bookings with QR codes, Google reviews and repeat guest follow-up
• What’s different here: BC’s principal residence rules and what still works in the Okanagan

Part 2: AI tools that make your rental more efficient and profitable

• Automating guest messages from booking to checkout review
• Using custom GPTs as a how-to manual your cleaners and team can search
• Connecting your booking software to the tools you already use
• Keeping more of what you make: “It’s not about how much you make, it’s about how much you keep.”

Live Q&A, networking with fellow investors, and real numbers from someone doing it right now. Whether you own a short term rental, a suite in your home or a long term rental you want to run smarter, you’ll leave with tools you can use the next day.
