  • Love the stories

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for years and especially love when Shawn interviews the people in the program who talk about the process they went through to get their listing. I love how they share numbers and talk detail of the set up and the ups and downs of everything. I especially love how they include the actual listing of the STRs they are referring to so when they talk about things, you can actually look at it. Lastly, I would love if each of the interviews included the purchase pri... more

    I want to hear about STRs not your opinion on the previous administration. I’ll find a show that gets less political. Thanks.

  • The Real Deal

    When I first became interested in short term rentals I found this podcast. I became an avid listener, often going back and listening to episodes several times.

Shawn took the time to answer every single question in thoughtful detail and had us not only comfortable, but super excited to join the Vodyssey community. We have now been members for over a year and can say with certainty that these... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 390 - Can A "Small Town" Airbnb Make Money? Members Share Their Experience
Q: What did you learn from your first year in this space?
We learned the importance of pricing strategy, guest screening, and protecting peak periods to balance occupancy with profitability, plus the value of a hands-on, local-market approach.
Episode 386 - The Leap Of Faith That Paid Off... SUCCESS On His 1st Try
Q: What financing path did you ultimately use and why?
I pursued a seller-financing route after traditional DSCR loans hit hard limits due to land size and zoning constraints; this allowed a smoother closing with favorable terms and immediate revenue, with a plan to refinance later to stabilize the asset.
Episode 386 - The Leap Of Faith That Paid Off... SUCCESS On His 1st Try
Q: How did you decide on the Lake Harmony area and refine your buy box?
I targeted a two-hour radius near home, considered multiple submarkets in the Poconos, and prioritized accessibility, convenience, and the ability to manage the property; over time I narrowed down to Lake Harmony for its viability and then learned the other communities to optimize decisions.
Episode 386 - The Leap Of Faith That Paid Off... SUCCESS On His 1st Try
Q: What drew you to real estate investing and eventually to short-term rentals?
I always had a hands-on, entrepreneurial background and moved into the corporate space before realizing I wanted assets that were both fun and scalable; short-term rentals offered that blend of lifestyle and income, especially after seeing the Poconos' potential.
Episode 382 - Investing In STRs Did NOT Go As Planned... Members Share Biggest Problems
Q: What were the major challenges during the DIY setup and how did you overcome them?
They detail long days of DIY procurement and installation, coordinating family schedules, and handling unexpected issues like timing delays and a flu outbreak. The takeaway is to plan buffers, rely on capable partners, and remember that challenges are temporary.
