    Thank you both so much for all the wonderful advice to help us get started on our STR journey. I’ve been stuck in analysis paralysis for almost a year and now, thanks to all the value content you bring to the podcast, I’ve taken action for my property listed! Wish me luck :)

  • Great pod

    Great show, awesome prospective from two successful long time STR operators.i like how transparent they are and tell the truth about how a business is ran. The good the bad and the ugly. They both have different prospectives and are sometimes opposite with thoughts but they have a good flow.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#113 Sam Primm: How He Built a $40M Rental Portfolio With None of His Own Money
Q: What would be the first thing that you talked to him about?
Primm would first ask about the person's goals. For someone seeking income to replace a job, he would focus on finding discounted off-market properties and raising money to flip them, then consider rentals according to the person's goals and cash position.
#113 Sam Primm: How He Built a $40M Rental Portfolio With None of His Own Money
Q: What differentiates the properties that you keep versus the properties that you wholesale versus the properties that you're actually doing the full flip work on?
Primm keeps properties that fit his preferred areas and cash-flow criteria, wholesales properties outside those areas or when he wants faster cash, and flips selected houses when the expected return justifies the capital and effort.
#105 The HR Expert Behind Tim Bratz: Why Your Top Performers Leave | Scott Hanis
Q: What is the first HR hire that a short-term rental or real estate operator should make to grow and scale the business?
The assistant is the typical starting point to reclaim time (booking travel, scheduling, calendar management), followed by a revenue-generating role (sales or marketing) to bring in deal flow and lead generation.
#104 How He Bought 600 Rentals Before Turning 27 ft. Donato Callahan
Q: So what's a syndication, what's LP, what's a GP split, and how could someone structure that deal if they're new?
Syndication pools money from multiple investors to buy a property, with a general partner actively managing and a limited partner providing the capital. The GP handles acquisition, management, and operations, while LPs provide funding and receive returns without ongoing management duties. Documents like PPMs and subscription agreements outline the structure, equity splits (commonly 20-50% to GP and 50-80% to LP, depending on roles), and how capital is raised.
#79 From Homelessness to Real Estate Success Through Short-Term Rentals w/ Blake Anthony Carter
Q: What actionable advice would you give listeners after this episode?
Blake advised to put oneself out there and attend networking events, as that is key to growing a service-based business.
