  • MTR experts

    Great show for any MTR hosts. This is the show you want to binge. They cover everything from what should be in your lease to how to stay booked. The host are knowledgeable and their guests are varied. If there is one complaint it can feel a little like a commercial at times but it is for something you want!

  • Cool insiders view

    The hosts find really interesting guests and share a good mix of stories and information. You can tell they are really thoughtful and informative about the format and content. I listen to every show because of how they make it interesting. I do wish they would go deeper into the numbers within the story (cost for cleaning teams, insurance, profit margins, etc.). Great jobs ladies.

For example, I’ve got 2 arbitrage units a that are barley cash flowing. I feel like I’ve followed all the tips on the show, but maybe a pro could pick it apart and help me find the holes.
