What happens when a corporate professional takes a chance on short-term rentals in the middle of a global pandemic? In this inspiring episode, Heather sits down with Stacey St. John - real estate investor, property manager, and community builder - to unpack her incredible journey from cautious investor to powerhouse property manager with a portfolio of beachfront properties in Myrtle Beach.
Stacey didn't just enter the industry - she transformed her life through it. Tune in to hear how she went from buying two "ugly" condos during COVID, to building a thriving business, managing properties with purpose, and cultivating one of the largest online communities for women in STR.
If you've ever wondered how to spot an opportunity in a down market, manage with integrity, or build a brand that resonates, this conversation is for you.
