Cody Cramer went from hotel revenue management to building a multi-market short-term rental co-hosting business, all while operating remotely. In this episode, Mark sits down with Cody to break down how he scaled across the Smokies and Florida markets, why systems matter more than location, and what actually drives guest satisfaction.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How Cody transitioned from hotels into STR co-hosting
• What it really takes to manage properties remotely without sacrificing quality
• Why your cleaning and maintenance team is the most important hire you’ll make
• The exact tech stack they use: Hostaway, PriceLabs, Breezeway, and Happy Guest
• How non-traditional partnerships created early deal flow
• The four metrics that matter in any STR market: bedroom count, RevPAR, booking lead time, and amenity saturation
• How better communication reduces guest questions and improves reviews
