As the vacation rental industry matures, growth has become the holy grail for many property management companies. But what happens when scaling too fast starts doing more harm than good?

In this episode, Ashley Ching, Founder & CEO of Inhaven, joins us to unpack her in-depth research on why many large property management companies fail and what separates the ones that last.

Drawing insights from over 100 executive interviews across the hotel, restaurant, and vacation rental sectors, Ashley reveals the five pillars of successful hospitality management  and how losing sight of them leads to the downfall of even the biggest brands.

We cover:

1️⃣ Why diseconomies of scale are real in hospitality and how to avoid them
2️⃣ The five pillars that define sustainable hospitality businesses
3️⃣ Why curated portfolios and empowered local teams matter more than size
4️⃣ What Vacasa and Aimbridge’s struggles teach us about over-expansion
5️⃣ How Inhaven is helping property managers raise the standard for quality and consistency

Ashley also shares how her background with Tiffany & Co. and The Home Depot shaped her approach to brand standards and guest experience and how those same principles can guide operators in today’s competitive landscape.
