  • Exceptional Show

    Two reasons I really love this show - First, tThe hosts do a great job of letting their guests speak, without interruption or trying too hard to steer the conversation. Second, they ask thoughtful questions - the type of questions that you as the listener really want to know - and they aren’t afraid to ask for clarification or dig deeper into details. They understand what an operator (or future operator) wants to get out of an episode. Really well done! 👌🏼

Selecting Your Unit & Unit Financing Options Pt. 2 with SandBox - Glamping, STR, Unique Stay, Outdoor Hospitality Unit Selection
Q: Maybe you could start by telling us what you guys use, what you offer at Sandbox.
Purcell describes leasing units with minimal money down as one option, noting that lease payments may be treated as business expenses. He says Sandbox reviews each property's liabilities, available cash, and tax situation before recommending leasing or traditional financing.
Selecting Your Unit & Unit Financing Options Pt. 2 with SandBox - Glamping, STR, Unique Stay, Outdoor Hospitality Unit Selection
Q: When you're thinking about designing a unit, particularly as it pertains to utilities, how are you thinking about that, and what are the trade-offs people need to make in terms of upfront costs versus operational costs?
Purcell says utility capacity and site-specific costs shape the design. A 30-amp unit can be made compatible with 50 amps for a future upgrade, while appliance choices and amenities must fit the current power supply.
Demystifying Third-Party Management with Rafael Correa of Bluewater - The Leaders in RV Resort, RV Park & Campground Management

Demystifying Third-Party Management with Rafael Correa of Bluewater - The Leaders in RV Resort, RV Park & Campground Management
Q: How should a property owner approach choosing a third-party manager?
