How Mark Quit His Job, Scaled to 37 Units, and Doubled Revenue Without Spending a Dime | The STR Scale Show with Mike Reilly | Ep 19


Listen Later

Mark had 11 Airbnb units, a full-time medical sales job, and barely any profit.

Just 18 months later?

He runs 37 listings, left his W-2, and built a profitable, freedom-filled business, all without using his own capital.

In this episode, we break down exactly how he did it:

  • The red flags in his arbitrage model that forced a pivot
  • How he turned losses into leverage with a co-hosting pitch
  • A case study that took one property from $90K → $211K
  • The “Underserved Investor Method” for finding hidden gems
  • Why volume doesn’t matter, precision does
  • And the system he used to scale without capital or burnout

If you’re stuck, tired, or scaling blindly, this might be the episode that saves your business.
