The David Greene Show

When Gil Chan bought his first two STR’s, he fell in love with the industry. It wasn’t long before he realized things were changing rapidly, and it was tough staying on top of all the changes in the industry. Gil noticed he could improve on the generic direct booking websites provided by OTA’s, made his own custom site, and was told by his friends he needed to quit his job and go full time. And he did! Gil shares his story of how he built craftedstays.com, how it’s helped improve his own properties revenue, and the services he offers to other STR owner/operators. We cover common scams guests use, ways Airbnb has moved away from their original value, and how to set up a direct booking site to boost your business. Download today!

Today’s show features an interview with former Marine and current RE agent/investor Sean McDonnell. Sean shares his story of how he focused on buying one house a year, slowly building up his RE portfolio while also building a RE sales team using skills he learned during his time in the military. Sean’s story changed when his STR property manager quit on him, leaving him managing three of his own properties. The burden of that work led Sean to look into executing a 1031 where he traded three small STR’s for one lakefront luxury property he had stayed at with his family and loved the experience. The story turned ugly at this point, and Sean shares lessons he’s learned trying to manage a luxury STR property with so many complications he did not expect.
