Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

79 - Inside the Industry: Annie Holcombe on Relationships, Reputation & Results
Q: Can you share how you grew from zero properties to 800 units in two years?
Annie attributes rapid growth to proactive business development, building a strong network, leveraging associations, negotiating favorable placements (e.g., front desk concessions), and turning every team member into a lead generator, all while maintaining a foundation of relationships and trust.
82 - The Godfather of Owner Acquisition: Brooke Pfautz on Scaling STR Management
Q: How do you structure incentives and contracts to encourage longer commitments from property owners?
Using incentives like a hot tub or other value-added features, paired with longer contract terms and potential penalties if canceled, to lock in relationships for two to five years depending on the program.
82 - The Godfather of Owner Acquisition: Brooke Pfautz on Scaling STR Management
Q: What was the lever you pulled to scale from 0 to 500 properties so quickly?
A combination of relentless direct mail, strategic partnerships with realtors, and highly customized owner outreach—plus differentiating the service with amenities and services not offered by incumbents.
88 - Real Estate Cycles, Perspective & Playing the Long Game w/ Joe Rohne
Q: What is the most common mistake new co-hosts make when expanding their portfolio?
They spread themselves too thin by trying to operate in multiple markets at once; the key is to pick one market, dominate it, and build a reputation and team there before expanding.
78 - How Mike Sjogren Built a Multi-7-Figure STR Business (and His Playbook for Freedom)
Q: What was the hardest part of your journey when you were starting to switch from a W‑2 employee to building your own business?
The hardest part was surviving the initial months with no momentum, dealing with medical bills, and the emotional weight of leaving a critically ill child in the hospital while pursuing a risky path; staying relentless and surrounding himself with mentors helped him push through.
