FIFA Just Canceled 70% of Its World Cup Hotel Blocks — Here's What That Actually Means

You probably saw the headline and thought the World Cup was in trouble. "FIFA cancels thousands of hotel rooms across World Cup host cities." It sounds like a disaster.

But if you're an STR operator, that headline is one of the best signals you'll see all year. In this episode, J. breaks down exactly what happened, introduces you to a hotel industry concept called "The Wash," and shows you how to position your short-term rental business to capture the massive demand coming this summer.

• The STR earnings opportunity: $156M projected host earnings, $1.21B in direct spending
• "Last man standing" pricing strategy — why patience beats early discounting
• 4 specific action steps to position your STR business for World Cup demand
