  • There’s always a way!

    Mike and E you guys are such an incredible inspiring team! The hotel con episode gets me fired up to get clearer on my goals and share them with my accountability team.

    2025 is the year to purchase a 10-12 room boutique hotel in the Lakes region.

    I just love hospitality and serving Gods people. Thank you for standing firmly in your vision and outside your comfort zones.

  • Can’t believe how much I resonate with this

    This is literally the 1st time I hear about this podcast. My husband sent it to me via text message last night because I was already in bed. He wrote: “It made me think about you specially the last part after 40min”

    I didn’t even need to get that far… this episode alone made me a fan.

    I am transitioning from the traditional 9 to 5 life and crafting the life of my dreams. And this episode was delivered into my ears at a time I needed it most.

    Thank you 🙏🏽

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From 0 to 40+ Properties & a Hotel That Pays for His Life | Alex Steeg
Q: What are you doing to acquire clients?
A strong emphasis on referrals and a formalized inbound lead system through Google My Business initially, then expanding to realtor partnerships and incentivized referrals to accelerate growth.
Wake Up Before It's Too Late: The STR Mistake That's Sending Hosts to Jail | Justin Ford
Q: How can operators practically implement better safety without dragging down profitability?
Assign a safety owner, integrate safety into existing roles, use checklists and digital reminders, require maintenance logs and photos, and leverage software like Breezeway to automate reminders and documentation, which reduces risk and can even lower insurance costs.
Wake Up Before It's Too Late: The STR Mistake That's Sending Hosts to Jail | Justin Ford
Q: What are the top safety risks STR operators should focus on right now?
Prioritize working smoke alarms, pool safety gear and gates, proper supervision around bunk beds, careful handling of lithium batteries and charging equipment, and ensuring safe use of outdoor amenities like golf carts and hot tubs, all supported by documented maintenance and inspection records.

Q: What is your number one secret to success with short-term rentals?
Move quickly on big decisions while agonizing slowly on small ones, stay focused on a single market with a clear strategy, and continuously test and refine tactics rather than chasing every new tool.

Q: What did due diligence look like for a 114-contract portfolio?
We did a comprehensive Q of E, reviewed contracts, customer concentration, and the quality of earnings, and involved our attorney early to frame the LOI and post-close cleanups.
