Base Rates are the foundation of the pricing strategy for all properties. As a vacation rental manager, you will set your base rate for each listing, and then the adjustments made against that rate are the fluctuations that are determined by demand. Once you set your base rate, the discounts and premiums are essentially layered on top of the rate, and Art makes changes daily depending on the current demand and occupancy trends.
