Building wealth with real estate often starts with a small idea and grows into something much bigger. Harshad and Ishita’s journey began with renting out their basement, which led to renting out a room in their home—and before they knew it, they were covering their mortgage with rental income.

But when it comes to short-term rentals, it’s about more than just a place to stay—it’s about creating unforgettable experiences. That’s why I’m so excited to have Harshad and Ishita on the show. These two entrepreneurs are shaking things up in the short-term rental space by putting design and guest experience at the forefront.

In today’s episode, we're diving into their incredible journey, how they rapidly scaled their portfolio, and their approach to creating spaces that guests rave about. Plus, we’ll talk about their experience navigating Hurricane Helene and what’s next for their business.  Tune in for a conversation that shows how thoughtful design and a guest-first mentality can transform a rental property into a thriving business.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: branding is more than the visuals. It’s the story you tell. It’s the way you make people feel. It’s what people say about you when you’re not in the room.

That is exactly why, in this episode, I dive deep into the branding process for Cabins on the Cumberland, sharing how we crafted a compelling brand strategy that resonates with our (Ideal Client) Avatar. Join me as I unpack the essential elements that make up a strong brand, and end with an action step that you can take immediately.

But you DO own your website and your email list. And thankfully there are ways to strategically capture your guests email addresses without bluntly asking for it. 

In this episode, you’ll learn re-engagement email campaign strategies for past guests, how to retarget guests to encourage email sign-ups, and my recommendations to maintain guest relationships.
