We sit down with Scott Sage, founder of Home Base, who scaled a 170-unit property management company by mastering one of the most overlooked growth levers in the STR industry: acquisitions.

Scott breaks down his unconventional entry into property management, how he formalized his business after accidentally inheriting a portfolio in Indianapolis, and the exact acquisition strategies that helped him expand into multiple markets, including Louisville. He gets tactical on outreach, due diligence, operational integration, and the criteria he uses to judge whether a management company is worth buying.

You’ll also learn how Scott uses AirDNA for market intelligence, how he identifies “rockstar operators,” and what he would do if he had to start over from scratch today.

If you’re serious about scaling through M&A, systems, or operational excellence, this episode cuts through the fluff and gives you the blueprint.
