No Vacancy is BACKKKKK! 📢 After a completely unplanned hiatus, I am so happy to be back on the mic and fill you all in on where the actual heck I've been. This summer has kicked my butt hardcore, but in the best way. We bought a sleepaway camp on May 1st, and I was thrown into the busiest summer ever with inherited bookings, learning the ropes of operating this beast, watching hundreds of thousands be spent on deferred maintenance (with barely any income coming in yet 😬), building all new SOPs from scratch, and juggling a full rebrand and new marketing strategy... All this to say, No Vacancy had to take the back burner, but looking back, this break was so needed. I have so many exciting episodes lined up for you all, and we're going deeper than ever on how to expand your portfolio and invest beyond short-term rentals. So excited for you to be on this journey with me, always learning... and always leveling up 😉🤠 Save the date for LEVEL UP YOUR LISTING SUMMIT 🌵 Returning to PHX, AZ March 21-23, 2027 🎟️ Early bird tix on sale Sept 15th!

This week I talk with founders and owners of The Hideaways, Mike Sebastian & Jordan Holmes. Mike & Jordan have built a truly unique portfolio across Red River Gorge, KY, and their properties feature hot tubs built on boulders, A-frames carved into caves, and cliff-side and riverfront views galore. In this conversation, they share about: working as partners and defining roles raising capital and working with investors who see the vision the marketing secret sauce that grew their socials over 100k followers tricks to capturing content that converts how they've achieved over 80% direct bookings Mike & Jordan dropped so many nuggets of wisdom and perspective shifts that I couldn't write down fast enough, so have your notebooks ready for this one!

This week we welcome hospitality guru, Moira Sedgwick to the show! Moira is a total hospitality badass, and has an incredible resume of working with some of the top hospitality brands, graduating from the CIA (Culinary Institute of America), and producing large scale events in the food and wine space. After years of cultivating her experience, she took the leap into short-term rentals and built A Chalet Collective, a boutique collection of properties in the Poconos that she manages and cohosts. If you're a hospitality nerd, you will love this episode that reveals what takes a short-term rental from a listing, to a memorable experience that your guests will be raving about long after the check-out.

Today on the podcast you’ll get to hear from the cofounders of Bellhopt, Alexander Ali and Milad Ghods. Bellhopt is a technology platform that’s bridging the gap between hotel-worthy concierge services and short-term rentals. After today’s conversation, you’ll be convinced your guests need this. Dare I say, you might even realize you need to become a Bellhopt vendor?!Alex and Milad were avid travelers who predominantly chose short-term rentals, but soon found themselves gravitating towards hotels more often.

On this episode of No Vacancy, we’re joined by Tim Hubbard, founder of Corzly Management and host of the STR Riches podcast.

Corzly is a virtual management company specializing in white-label services for co-hosts and property managers. Their model allows operators to hand off day-to-day guest communication and operations while staying focused on owner relationships, portfolio growth, and acquisitions. We cover: How Tim replaced his income with STRs Why he built a virtual management company How white-label operations help co-hosts scale If you’re a host or property manager looking to grow without getting buried in daily tasks, this episode is for you.

This week we bring Ryan Bakke back on the podcast AGAIN (I'm losing count but I think this was round 5?!). Ryan is a CPA who specializes in real estate tax strategy, and this week I BEGGED him to come back and talk to me about how to invest in real estate through retirement accounts. Plot twist–this was totally a selfish move on my part, as I've been youtubing my way down the rabbit hole looking for these answers for myself. I figured it was time to go straight to the source with Ryan. In this episode, you can expect me grilling Ryan about: Why invest in RE through a retirement account? Pros and cons of investing this way How to actually invest via retirement account (without incurring the 10% penalty!) Self-directed IRAs vs Solo401Ks How much should someone invest through their retirement accounts (vs just investing through personal funds)? Should you establish an LLC or trust before investing in RE? This episode really only scratched the surface, so if you have more questions for Ryan, make sure to join his online community here. P.S. Has this episode inspired you to do more with your retirement accounts?! Invest with us! We're looking for 1-3 more partners on a luxury STR in Upstate NY. If interested, fill out this form and I'll send you more info right away. Thank you to our sponsor Lodgify – Take 20% off Lodgify’s most powerful plans with code novacancy20!

Katie Cline is back! You loved her from episode 115 (in fact, that was one of my top listened to episodes of all time!), so I knew we were due for another dose of Katie. She just launched her new podcast, "Second Home First" which is all about why, although contrary to everything we're taught, it might make sense for you to invest in a second home while still renting your primary residence. Katie runs through several scenarios of why putting off your primary home purchase could be your best financial decision, and why doing so shouldn't hold you back from jumping into real estate investing. If you're someone who's been sitting on the sidelines, or maybe you already own a second home and feel guilty that you're still renting, this conversation will be so refreshing on why you just might be on exactly the right track.

I know I say this every week, but you guys... I am PUMPED for you to hear this episode! If you don't know Jon Schoeller yet (aka @thefrugalinvestor) you are in for a treat today. Jon's intro into real estate began after he sold his moving company, and started flipping houses with partners. After raising private money from other investors for nearly a hundred flips, he had saved up enough to be the private money lender (PML) on one of their own flips, and after seeing the returns on that, he was hooked. Since then, Jon has funded over 150 loans, and currently has over two dozen loans out at any given time. He takes us through: - The exact questions he asks borrowers to vet them before investing funds - What kind of returns he looks for - What kinds of deals he avoids - How borrowers can establish more trust with their lenders - How to determine how much you can safely invest as a private money lender (PML) If you are looking to either raise capital OR become a PML yourself, you will get so much value out of Jon's candid thoughts and years of experience!

This week on No Vacancy I talk with Ali Haney, host of the Brand & Market Podcast, who is a branding and marketing expert. We get into some juicy strategies that you can implement to improve your listing's online presence today! But before we dive into that, Ali walks us through the painful months-long journey of her attempt to turn a gorgeous Bourbon Trail estate into a wedding venue. She did her due diligence on the regulation, ran the numbers, and knew the property was in good shape with no surprise repairs. But what wasn't expected was the backlash the local community would feel towards this project. Ali takes us through the emotional rollercoaster and endless city meetings to fight for this deal, and how unfortunately, it ultimately failed. The good news? She was ready to pivot with a backup plan, and even though that property isn't a functional wedding venue today, it IS a profitable, cash-flowing STR. Ali is an open book, and if anyone has considered riskier projects, this episode is a must-listen on how to navigate emotional backlash and obstinate neighbors.

Today I talk with Skyler Vaughn, cofounder of For The Love Of Upstate. You'll remember his partner Madi Johnson from episodes 96 and 156, and after having her on the show twice, it was finally time I convinced Skyler to join. Skyler is incredible when it comes to project management, and this skill is how FTLOU is able to crank out 6-7 property renovations per year, and is on track for 10-12 next year! If you, like me, are the kind of investor who gets all excited at the Pinterest moodboard phase, but then cries multiple times during a project wondering why you subjected yourself to this torture, you will be fascinated by Skyler's ability to manage so many tasks at so many different projects all at the same time and make it look so effortless. Skyler shares with us the exact project management tools he uses, his SOPs, how he builds his team to get the job done, and his timelines for each project. This is a no-fluff episode, with practical tips you can implement right away on your next rehab. Connect with Skyler Invest with us!

This week I bring Kassidy Warren back on the podcast! You can listen to his last episode here, where he broke down each property in his portfolio and how he scaled to something bigger and better with each investment. Today, we dive even deeper into that same philosophy with the "velocity of money". Kassidy shares how you can be doing the same amount of work on each STR you launch... but getting 2-3x more returns from that same project?! It all comes down to which deals you're pursuing. If you're someone who's turning and burning flips or 1031 exchanges, wondering why you've done so many deals, but still don't feel like you're getting ahead, this episode is for you!
