July is National Grilling Month

Did you know that July is National Grilling Month? Due to the warmer weather, the summer months are perfect for preparing and enjoying food outdoors. In honor of this month-long celebration, your favorite Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental company wanted to share with you some tips for grilling. Use them when you barbeque at the Lake of the Ozarks this summer!

Grilling Tips

Don't let improperly prepared food ruin your summer. Use these tips to ensure food safety and quality meals when grilling this summer.

Wash your hands before preparing any food.
Keep the food cold until you're ready to put it on the grill. Letting the food sit out allows bacteria to start growing.
Preheat your grill 15-25 minutes before you start cooking to ensure that it reaches the right temperature and to kill any bacteria that might have been left on the grill. A properly heated grill will sear food on contact, keeping the insides moist and helping to prevent sticking.

It's easier to remove debris when a grill is hot. Therefore, after preheating is the best time to use a long-handled wire grill brush to clean the rack of charred debris from prior meals. Scrape it again immediately after use while it's still warm.
Maintaining a clean grill will reduce the chances of flare-ups and incessant smoke, which can burn the outside of food and cause a bad taste.
Even on a clean grill, lean foods may stick when placed directly on the rack. You can reduce that likelihood by oiling your hot grill rack with a vegetable oil-soaked paper towel. Just hold it with tongs and rub it across the rack.
Don't mix raw and cooked foods. Keep them in separate containers and use separate utensils or wash them with soap and water in between use. Bacteria from the raw food, particularly meat, will contaminate the freshly cooked meal.
The best way to know if your protein is fully cooked is to check it's internal temperature with an instant-read meat thermometer.
Keep hot food warm to at least 140°F until ready to be placed in a cooler with ice or the refrigerator. Keep cold foods and salads chilled on ice until ready to serve, and then return them to the cooler after serving. Temperature control is key to avoid bacteria growth that can cause sickness.
Successful grilling means paying attention to your grill. Stepping inside to check the score of the game or to mix up a side dish for just a moment is enough time for your grill to get out of control and burn your food. Be sure to watch your grill the entire time that food is on it.
Have plenty of fuel available for your gas grill. You don't want to run out of propane in the middle of a barbeque with hungry people. Keep an extra fuel tank on hand. (When you stay with us, we provide an extra fuel tank at each property with a gas grill.)

The majority of our vacation rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks either have a personal grill on the deck or a public barbeque area for you to enjoy a nice meal outdoors. We hope these tips come in handy, and that you enjoy many a meals outdoors this summer season. If you haven't already booked your summer reservations with us, give us a call at 573-365-3367.

8 Things to Bring on Your Lake Vacation

When renting a vacation home or condo at the Lake of the Ozarks, what should you bring with you and what is supplied with the rental? Every vacation rental at the Lake of the Ozarks is different, so be sure to ask the right questions and check the amenities list if one is provided. At Your Lake Vacation, we try to supply most basic items so that guests don't have to worry about bringing things like paper towels, soaps, tissues, toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, etc.

Vacation Rental Yikes!

Owner Russell Burdette, went on vacation with his family in Dauphin Island, Alabama about 12 years ago or so. The home that his dad rented on the beach didn't come with much at all. In fact, they had to supply their own bedding, pillow, sheets, blankets, the whole nine yards. Trying to cram 5 kids and 2 adults, all their clothes and bedding into a mini-van with a topper was quite the sight. They never want to do that again! And we don't want our guests to do that either!

What to Bring with You

Some of the questions that we get when guests call include: does this property come with air conditioning, and does this property have sheets and pillows? We can tell that they've had some rough experiences in the past.

1. Shampoo - Many places provide soaps, but most people prefer their own shampoo.

2. Coffee - While some places may provide a small packet of coffee, most people prefer their own brand.

3. Games - You never know when it might rain on your vacation, and while some properties may have some games, it's a great idea to bring some with you to pass the time on a rainy day.

4. Music - While you used to have to lug around cassettes or cd's, now taking your favorite tunes with you is so much easier. Just load your music onto your favorite device and take it with you when you travel.

5. Beach Towels - Most vacation rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks will supply bath and hand towels for inside the property. However, if you are heading to the beach or the pool, you'll want to bring your own large beach towels.

6. First Aid Kit - While you hope you will never need it, it's always a good idea to keep a first aid kit handy when you travel in case of any accidents.

7. Small Tool Kit - Our owner always keeps a little tool kit on him. It's surprising just how many things you can fix with a good old four way screw driver and a pair of pliers.

8. Paper & a Pen - While your smart phone can perform a lot of tasks, there are still uses for good ole paper and pen. Notes to others, keeping score and tic-tac-toe are just a few!

So pack up your car with these items and your other essentials (clothes, toiletries, etc.) and head out on vacation to the Lake of the Ozarks!

Your Lake Vacation is your premier vacation rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks. Since 1986, we have helped thousands of guests with their vacation planning. In fact, we have served more than 10,000 guests staying for a total of more than 40,000 nights.

17 Father's Day Fun Facts

The weekend of celebrating fathers and grandfathers is upon us! In honor of Father's Day, we wanted to share with you some fun facts about this holiday. Share these with dad and grandpa this weekend while you're spending time together.

Father's Day Fun Facts

1. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed the proclamation calling for Father's Day to be celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of June each year.

2. In 1972, it was President Nixon who officially declared Father's Day a holiday and signed it into law.

3. Sonora Smart Dodd is credited as the founder of Father's Day, as she led the efforts for father's to be recognized after hearing a Mother's Day sermon at her church. Her father cared for his six children after their mother passed away while giving birth to the 6th child.

4. The first statewide Father's Day celebration was held on June 19, 1920 in Spokane, Washington.

5. According to Hallmark, Father's Day is the 4th-largest card-sending occasion, with over 72 million cards given every year.

6. The first Father's Day card dates back before Hallmark was established. One of the earliest records is dated back 4,000 years, when a Babylonian carved a card out of clay to "wish his father good health and long life."

7. Of the Father's Day cards bought, 20% of them are sent from wives to their husbands.

8. The necktie is consistently the most popular Father's Day gift given. Did you know that neckties could date back as far as 221 B.C.?

9. Ramjit Raghav of Haryana, India became the world's oldest first-time dad by fathering his first child at the age of 94.

10. Father's Day is far from an American-exclusive holiday. Over 40 countries around the world have a special day to honor dads.

11. The official flower for Father's Day is the rose. A red rose is worn on your lapel if your father is living, while a white rose is worn if he has passed away.

12. The word "dad" used to describe a father is said to have began around the 15th century. It's believed that it was derived from baby talk, as in many languages "dada" or "tata" refers to a baby's acknowledgement of father.

13. In 2017, there were 2 million households led by a single father. That's a 900% increase from the 1960s.

14. In 2017, Americans spent an estimated $15 billion on Father's Day gifts, approximately $133 per person.

15. According to the National Retail Foundation, most of the money spent on Father's Day gifts goes to clothing, gift cards and electronics.

16. The latest census data estimates there are more than 70.1 million fathers in the United States.

17. George Washington, the celebrated father of our country, had no children of his own.

5 FAQs About Vacation Rental Management

In today's blog, we thought it would be fun to take a look at the most common questions that we get asked by owners looking for a vacation rental manager at the Lake of the Ozarks. Below is a list of the most popular questions from over the last 14 years of speaking with over 400 potential owners.

1. How Much Do You Charge?

This is usually the first question that I get asked. The amount a vacation rental manager charges will vary from company to company, and should depend of the level of services they offer, experience and the type of results they can deliver. For our area, the fee is typically between 25-40% of the gross rental fee.

2. What Services Do You Offer?

Most companies offer the same basic services; it is the other services that separate the men from the boys. You should be asking if they inspect their properties prior to guest arrival, if they inspect the cleaning, if they offer landscaping, maintenance, decorating assistance, pest control, etc. Find out what you are getting for what you are paying.

3. How Do You Advertise?

My guess is that most vacation rental companies at the Lake of the Ozarks, like us, do the bulk of their advertising on the internet. Some companies who charge a lower percentage make you pay for your ads on the top vacation rental websites in addition to their management fee. As a large rental company, we spent a lot of money on advertising and we don't charge extra to place your property on the top vacation rental websites. We also have an extensive past guest list or more than 8,000 names that we e-mail on a monthly basis.

4. Why Do I Have to Have Keyless Entry?

This is one of the few costs to be on our program, but one of our most essential requirements. Our own internal research has shown that 100% of our guests would rather have keyless entry than to have to pick up keys, keep track of keys and then return keys when their rental is over. I recently had a potential owner say that the reason he didn't choose us was because the other company wasn't going to make him change his keyed lock. They would just use the lock he had. We were unwilling to compromise on providing great customer service to our guests.

5. What About Damages?

Many owners are concerned about their property getting damaged. I completely understand their concerns. Stranger are in your home or condo at the Lake of the Ozarks, and maybe they won't take the best care of it. Most vacation rental companies charge a deposit, get a credit card on file or have a damage protection plan. We get a card, offer the damage protection plan and it has worked great for the last 14 years, as we have had minimal damages with over 10,000 rentals and counting.

Do you have other questions about renting your property as a vacation rental with us? Give us a call at 573-365-3367. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have about our rental program. Your Lake Vacation is here to help our owners and our guests have a wonderful experience with vacation rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Long Term vs Nightly Rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks

At Your Lake Vacation, we frequently get asked whether it's better to rent a particular property as a Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental or as a long term rental. The answer to that question is usually, "it depends." Or "what do you mean by better?" Keep reading to learn more about the differences between nightly rentals and long term rentals.

Vacation Property at the Lake of the Ozarks

The first question that I ask someone is, "Do you want to use the property?" If you want to use the property at all for your own vacation, then you've already answered your question, unless you can find a long term renter who will let you hang out with them for a week or so every year!

If you are not going to use the property at all, then the next question becomes, "Do you want to manage it yourself or have someone else manage the property? It is easier to manage a long term rental yourself than to manage a vacation rental. After you have answered that question, then it becomes the simple question of economics. In other words, how can you get the best return on your investment?

Long Term vs Nightly Rentals

Let's look at a three bedroom condo in Osage Beach for an example. A quick look at the long term rental market for a three bedroom condo in Osage Beach is showing an average rental price of around $1,000 per month. That would be a gross income of $12,000 per year. Last year, our best renting three bedroom condos in Osage Beach averaged $18,500 in rental income. Therefore, if you were going to manage the property yourself, you could potentially receive more income from vacation rentals even after paying the electric bill (which long term tenants usually pay, but vacationing guests do not). Otherwise, you would have approximately the same expenses for the property regardless of how you rented it.

Hiring a Property Manager

If you hire a property manager at the Lake of the Ozarks, you would pay around 15% for long term management and based on the above numbers, that would leave you a net income of $10,200. For vacation rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks, you would pay around 35%, which would leave you a net income of $9,625 after paying the manager and the electric (based on $200 per month for electric). So essentially, it would be break even at that point, except with the vacation rental, you could still use the property for personal vacations vs not being able to use it if it was rented as a long term rental. You then just need to decide if it's worth less than $600 per year to not be able to use your property?

Most of our owners want to use their home or condo as their own vacation rental property and then rent it to help off-set their costs. The majority of vacation rental properties do not make a profit but their income does allow them to have a second home or condo and take care of the majority of their expenses.

For more information on turning your second home at the Lake into a vacation rental, give us a call at 573-365-3367. Your Lake Vacation has been serving guests and helping owners with professional vacation rental management services at the Lake of the Ozarks since 1986, and we would love to help you too!

Insurance for Vacation Rental Owners

Insurance is one of those things that we hate to pay for, but are glad that we have it when we need it! If you are going to rent your home or condo at the Lake of the Ozarks to the vacationing public, you definitely want to make sure that you have your property properly insured. Keep reading to learn more about rental property insurance and loss of income coverage.

Rental Property Insurance

One of the first things that I tell new vacation rental owners at the Lake of the Ozarks that are joining our program is to let their insurance agent know that they will be renting out their property to vacationers. If there is a claim situation, that is not the time to let your insurance agent know that you have been renting out your property. You don't want any surprises or coverage denials when it comes times to make a claim.

Some insurance companies offer rental property insurance and some don't. Therefore, it's very important to check with your current company and not just assume that you will be covered if something happens. Also, different companies will have different limits on their policies. You may need to shop around to ensure that you can get the coverage you need. Some agencies won't go above $500,000 in coverage, while others will go up to $2 million.

Loss of Income Coverage

In addition to letting your agent know that you are renting out your property, you will want to ensure that you are now covered for loss of income. While some homeowner policies would cover you in a rental situation, they may not provide for loss of income. We had this happen to one of our owners this past year when the unit above had a water leak. It took three months for all the repairs to be completed and he lost income in May, June and most of July. He was able to collect insurance money for that loss of income because he had the property policy.

When discussing your rental property with your agent, ask if there are any policy exclusions and exactly what is covered and what is not. Again, you don't want to find out that you are not covered when you need it most.

Finding an Insurance Agent

If you go with an out of town insurer, make sure they know your market. For instance, they may assume property values are similar, when in reality they could be quite different. Also, if your property is a condo, you may only be responsible for the interior and your association would be responsible for the exterior. In this case, you may only need coverage on what you are responsible for replacing, any upgrades (and contents) and not the entire value (sale price) of your condo.

If you are thinking of renting your vacation property at the Lake of the Ozarks and have questions about insurance, ask an expert! Two great local agents we deal with are Chris Wagner of Farmer's Insurance, who can be reached at 573-302-0001 and Nathan Reid of American Family Insurance, who can be reached at 573-348-5451. Either one of them would be glad to speak with you about your Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental insurance needs.

Russell Burdette is the owner/broker of Your Lake Vacation, a professional vacation rental company at the Lake of the Ozarks since 1986. If you would like more info on renting your Lake of the Ozarks condo or home as a vacation rental, give us a call at 573-365-3367.

The History Behind Labor Day

Labor Day is observed on the first Monday of September each year. While the holiday is often thought of as the end of the summer season, it was created to pay tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. In today's blog, your Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental company discusses the history that led to the implementation of this federal holiday.

Labor Day History

The idea behind Labor Day was created during the labor movement in the late 19th century. During the height of the Industrial Revolution, the average American was working 12-hour days, seven days a week! Even some children as young as 5 or 6 worked in mills, factories and mines across the country. People of all ages faced extremely unsafe working conditions. They had insufficient access to fresh air, unsanitary facilities and not enough breaks. Labor unions became more prominent and more vocal. They began organizing strikes and rallies to protest these poor working conditions. Unfortunately, many of these events turned violent, such as the infamous Haymarket Riot of 1886.

The First Labor Day

The first Labor Day in U.S. history featured a parade, where, on September 5, 1882, 10,000 workers took unpaid time off to march from City Hall to Union Square in New York City. The parade was meant to show the public the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations. The idea of a "workingmen's holiday" caught on in other industrial centers across the country, and many states passed legislation to recognize it. However, Congress did not legalize the holiday until 12 years later, in 1894. On May 11, 1894, employees of the Pullman Palace Car Company in Chicago went on strike to protest wage cuts and the firing of union representatives. Then on June 26, the American Railroad Union called for a boycott of all Pullman railway cars, which hurt railroad traffic nationwide. The federal government tried to break the strike, which led to the deaths of more than a dozen workers. In attempt to repair ties with American workers, Congress passed an act making Labor Day a legal holiday.

Your Lake Vacation hopes you have a wonderful Labor Day Weekend! As you're celebrating the end of the summer with your family at your waterfront house at the Lake of the Ozarks, remember what this holiday is all about and how far American workers have come. If you're not staying with us this weekend, we hope to see you soon! It's almost time for fall golf - call 877-284-0267 to setup a fall golf getaway at the Lake of the Ozarks today.
