Welcome, and thanks for checking in today to No Vacancy The Podcast!

This week I sit down with Steph Weber of The Weber Co and the visionary behind Cabins on the Cumberland. Steph has an extensive background in entrepreneurship, marketing, and branding, with an emphasis in influencer marketing. When she finally discovered the world of short-term rentals, she jumped all in and applied her marketing background to build a 6-figure cohosting biz in just 12 months – with a baby and a 3 year old!

Today she shares with us what hosts should be doing to navigate the changing Airbnb landscape, and she breaks down the vision of the riverfront/9acre/11cabin/event venue she's building with partners in rural Kentucky. I loved hearing her exact marketing plans for this new project, and getting all the juicy, REAL marketing tactics from her, not just general advice.

On today's episode of No Vacancy, I sit down to chat with Arthur Colker, CEO and founder of StayFi. This little device gets added to your wifi setup in your Airbnb listing, and simply requires that all guests input their email before gaining wifi access – yup, just like hotels and coffee shops!

Sounds simple, but the possibilities this has for increasing bookings and guest experience are endless. Arthur walks us through each and every creative way he's found for StayFi to elevate your entire hosting operation. By the end of this episode, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!

On this week's episode:

In this episode, Matt breaks down how he quickly grew his portfolio to 50+ units and how he's now strategically scaling back his portfolio size to only focus on the top-producing, least stressful listings. You'll learn so much from this conversation about how quick growth can lead to burnout and why it's important to tune out noise and pressure telling you investor growth has to look a certain way.

AITAH for sending a message like this to my guest asking for a late checkout?

The Ghetmiri’s were so much fun to interview! This couple shared how they went from burnt out and overworked in dentistry, to going all in on real estate. I loved hearing how they work together as a couple, and how they balanced this new venture while becoming parents in the last year.

Their growth has been super fast, but super intentional, with just a few strategic investments. I ask them to breakdown their numbers with all the transparency, and they didn’t hold anything back!

In today’s episode I get to chat with Carrie Drier of @roostnorthrentals. In an industry that’s constantly talking about how to scale faster, leverage all the financing loopholes, and that partnerships are the key to growth, Carrie’s journey of scaling to 9 properties with just her and her husband, is so refreshing!

She breaks down exactly how they added on each unit, the timeframe it took to do it, and why she has no regrets about her “slow and steady wins the race approach”. Carrie shares how avoiding partnerships has given her complete control over each and every decision, and the freedom it gave her to do things her own way has been priceless.

If you’ve been feeling the pressure to grow faster and scale in a way that doesn’t align with you, this is a must-listen!

On today's show we have Breanna Williams, who has niched herself down to be a cohost for midterm rentals. When I started chatting with Breanna, I was shocked that she's been able to build a business doing this. As a short-term rental host, I've always found midterm rentals to be the more passive option, and couldn't imagine a property owner needing a cohost to manage just one check in per month.

Breanna, proves to us that there is major value in providing this service to property owners. If you've been wanting to dive into cohosting, this episode will open your eyes to one of the many ways you can niche your offering down and build the cohosting business you want to run.
