In today's episode, Tony and Carrie Auchly share their journey into short-term rental investing, specifically their experience with a new build property in Driggs, Idaho just outside of Jackson Hole, Wy.
They fell in love with the area and decided to invest in a vacation rental property there. They faced challenges with finding existing properties due to low inventory, so they decided to build a new property. They had to fire their original contractor half way through the build and ended up self-performing a significant portion of the work.
Despite the challenges, they successfully completed the build within a year and became the number one property in their market. Carrie and Tony discuss their experience with building and launching their short-term rental properties. They emphasize the importance of having clear property goals and a vision for what they wanted to achieve.
They also highlight the value of being able to pivot and adapt during the building process. The Auchly's stress the importance of setting up the property to be loved by themselves and their guests, rather than focusing solely on maximizing profits. They share their success in booking guests and the positive feedback they have received. They also discuss their plans for future properties and offer advice for others considering a new build.

Ever wondered what to look for to find a property that could become the #1 in its market?
-
Do you want to learn how to avoid the #1 most costly vacation homeowner mistake by ensuring you run numbers correctly and accurately?
-
Have you considered offering beverages, ATVs, boats, golf carts, or other “more fun / higher liability” amenities and wondered how to do it correctly?
Recorded live from our new studio at Vodyssey HQ, on this week’s Whiskey Wednesday, Dave & Shawn explore:
-
Analyzing a Vodyssey member partner project property in Kentucky, a Historic Firehouse on the Bourbon trail - learn how Shawn looks for unique clues to properties that may be able to “hit the high water mark”, becoming a top property in their area.
-
Avoiding the #1 most damaging mistake vacation homeowners make - inadequate property analysis - and how to make sure you’re looking at an accurate revenue range across the annual seasonal landscape vs. painting too broadly with only an average nightly rate, etc.
-
Important considerations for how to say yes to higher-end amenities by understanding and managing the liability risk instead of just saying no.

On today's episode of the Vacation Rental Revolution Podcast, I had the privilege of interviewing Sean Wilkinson. He is one of the founders of a brand new business model in the short-term rental space called Host Share. Host Share allows short-term rental owners to trade night stays at their property for other properties on the website. I love how Sean has made these very seamless and intuitive so that you don't feel like you are leaving money on the table for lost revenue at your property.
Sean describes his journey of owning and operating in the short-term rental space and how he found a way to leverage unbooked nights into vacation stays.

Welcome back to another episode of Whisky Wednesday. In this episode, Dave and I dive into the world of copycat gurus. In a world where artificial intelligence is in the mainstream, anyone can claim to be an expert, but few are. Look for the signs of who the true teachers are. We also discuss the importance of finding the right management team for your property. Selecting the right property manager can make or break your maximum revenue as well as your customer experience. Finally, we respond to a question we received about avoiding fees from Airbnb and Vrbo. It all boils down to how good you are at customer acquisition.

What’s up, guys? Welcome back to another episode of the Vacation Rental Revolution Podcast! On today’s episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Vodyssey member and Short-Term Rental Investor Eric Young. Eric is a seasoned investor based in Denver, Colorado with over 10 years of experience in the real estate industry. Although he specialized in flipping houses he has found great success in the short-term rental game. Watch or listen as Eric describes his willingness to seek help and look for opportunities to improve his short-term rental experience and how because of that he was able to take an underperforming property to the top of the market. We also talk about how Eric was able to overcome issues with insurance and financing, the importance of due diligence during underwriting, and how a property’s past performance is not always indicative of its future potential when properly managed and marketed.

Our exploration kicks off with a deep dive into the art of underwriting properties—a crucial element in our strategic playbook. Jaycob reveals the pitfalls of revenue estimation and underscores the game-changing power of accurate underwriting. As our dialogue unfolds, we traverse the diverse landscape of market opportunities, with a special focus on the eastern US states.

With everything going on in the world of finance, there are a lot of misconceptions about what is available to us as investors.
One big misconception is that 10% down vacation rental financing is dead.

When it comes to success, people often debate between experience and knowledge.
Now, knowledge is great, but let's face it, without the ability to apply it, it's useless! That's why experience is the real game-changer! It's the hands-on, in-the-trenches learning that separates the winners from the losers.
And the best part? You can't "fake" experience. You either have it or you don't. - it's the key to unlocking success!
In today's episode, I share a crazy story of knowledge without experience backfiring on a successful investor I know.

You can feel it in the air—economic concern is riding high with the consensus of many economic forecasters predicting at least a mild recession in 2023.
But there are a few bright spots, too. Data shows us that the vacation rental industry has more cause to stay optimistic than despair, as travel tailwinds still have the power to overcome economic headwinds.
With employment remaining strong and consumer interest increasingly turning to travel, the diverse and often affordable experiences offered by short-term rentals (STRs) will continue to draw crowds in 2023—both on the supply and the demand side.
In short, the performance forecasting isn’t quite on par with the stellar and even dramatic results the industry saw in 2021 and 2022.
But it’s clear 2023 will be a year of mature performance from an industry that recovered more nimbly than conventional lodging and recently reached all-time highs in supply, demand, and total revenue.

2022 is winding up and the STR market is ending with another banner year.
However, there are signs of a shifting market and whether you currently own a short term rental or you are thinking of purchasing one, there are things you should be doing to prepare for the new opportunities I anticipate seeing in 2023.
In today's episode, we will talk about what you can be doing to prepare for new opportunities in the coming year.

Unfortunately, a lot of people just drift through life with no real plan.
Less than 53% of people even have long term plans which causes them to react to different short term events. This causes a lot of stress and ultimately holds them back from ever achieving their dreams.
One of the most common things you will hear them say is that they will "Wait & See". They avoid making decisions and become very reactionary.
In today's episode, I want to challenge you to think about your long term plans and not become reactionary to short term events.

Now is the time of year that most people begin to take their foot off the gas pedal. People tend to relax and begin to procrastinate during the holiday season.
Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Year's are holiDAYS not holiMONTHS.
Before we dive into all of that, I want to share with you why most people fail and the 3 key points you should be aware of to set yourself up for success. How leverage really works, How to multiply time, & Why new opportunities are making you poor.
Most people start to relax, make excuses & push things off until the first of the year. You may even have a tendency to take it easy right now.
This is the time to accelerate your progress and gain some massive ground on not only the competition but also the old you, without giving up the fun of the holidays.

If you've listened to me for any length of time, you probably know that I am a big proponent of property owners using full service property management companies in most cases. However, with the growth in the STR industry, we are seeing many Co-Hosts come on to the scene as possible management partners. In this quick episode, I highlight what I believe are the most practical differences between the two management partner options.

I believe we have an epidemic happen in the world today. I speak to people all across the country who all say they want one thing and do another. They give themselves every excuse in the world of why they shouldn't chase their dreams. When we were kids, we didn't take no for an answer. We had big dreams and wanted to chase them every day. Somewhere along the way, we started to get conditioned that it wasn't the right time or that our dreams were unrealistic and we started to believe it. Ed Mylett always says things are taught not caught. Today I want to address this epidemic of parents giving up on chasing their dreams & remind everyone that someone is watching.

We are heading into another busy season for most vacation rental owners. Inventory is way below the demand in most markets so we can expect to have another record year in most areas. However, the difference between the amount of money the top properties make and the average properties is huge. I'm going to talk about an easy way for you to put a lot more money in your pocket starting immediately.
In my opinion, pricing your property correctly is one of the least understood and most underutilized marketing tool available to vacation rental owners.
In today's episode, I talk about how you can take advantage of a major opportunity in today's short term rental market by understanding how to price your property to put the maximum amount of money into your pocket.
I believe that most management companies and many people are very lazy when it comes to pricing their property correctly. Especially those with really high occupancy levels.
Join me on this episode as I share a strategy you can put in place today to instantly help you maximize the return on your Lifestyle Asset.

As investors, once we find a great asset that fits our property and investment goals, the next step is to add as many of those assets to our portfolio as quickly as possible.
Often times, what holds us back is that when we began to scale up our portfolio, traditional financing options begin to dry up.
Today we are joined by Doug Perry, Director of Sales at Temple View Capital, to discuss asset based loans or DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loans built specifically for investors as a great long term financing option for their short term rental portfolio.
We cover the basics of these types of loans as well as some of the unique details of how they work and what you can do to leverage them to build your own personal portfolio.
If you are looking to scale your STR investment portfolio and you'd like to know how to use non traditional loans to turbo charge your growth, you don't want to miss this episode.

Many people experience short bursts of excitement or curiosity around investing in vacation homes, but inevitably get stuck at some key points along the way, and before they know it, another year has gone by and they aren't where they wanted to be.
This is totally avoidable if you understand the long game and have a proven process to follow.
Many people get excited about our member stories where people moved quite quickly and accomplished a lot in one year, but they often don't understand what is behind the ability to do that.
I hope you enjoy this episode and thank you for listening and being the best part of this show.
2021 was a crazy year for vacation rental owners. It seems like records were set across the board.
While we don't have all the numbers from 2021, there is an over arching theme indicating that 2022 is stacking up to be very good for short term rental hosts.
Experts saw demand for short term rentals in 2021 increase from the previous year by 22.4% but supply only went up by 2.5%.
This is a huge supply gap.
The same experts are expecting demand to increase an additional 14% in 2022 while supply continues to lag behind.
These are very good signals for those of you getting into the short term rental game or those of you doubling down to build your portfolio if you are already in the game.
You don't want to miss this quick episode as I unpack the major things I see in this report.
Here is a link to the report for those of you that would like to check it out.

Have you ever considered using the tax law as a wealth building strategy?
In today's episode, we interview Mike Pine from Pine Co CPAs, and we discuss just that.
Mike shares a story from one of his many clients using taxes as a wealth building strategy who purchased a beach property and he helped them strategically set it up correctly. In doing so they were able to reduce their tax liability that year by more than the amount of their down payment, and they have now parlayed that money into a second mountain property and plan to continue this for the next 10 properties.
Uncle Sam is funding their portfolio.
The most exciting part of this, is that almost anyone can do it, unfortunately, most people do not know about it to take advantage of this huge wealth building strategy.
Join us on today's episode with one of the nation's leading tax advisors and CPAs, Mike Pine, as we discuss exactly what you can do to take advantage of this strategy to build your vacation rental portfolio.

I had something I wanted to get off my chest today.
I have the pleasure of speaking with many people all across the country who are interested in getting into the short term rental game.
One of the topics that comes up fairly often is people under estimating the simplicity of this game.
My biggest frustration is that sometimes people won't set their ego aside long enough to learn what it takes to succeed, and this ultimately leads to them selling themselves short on the success they could have.
Most people do not know what they don't know. This is not their fault. They haven't put in the time to understand what seems to be a very simple business.
While this business is not rocket science, there are certain things you should focus on to succeed in this game. If you don't know what those things are, you may run down a road that has some surprises for you.
Listen to this weeks episode to hear why I believe there is more success waiting for you than you may realize if you understand how to play this game.

An emergency fund doesn’t have to burn a hole in your wallet if you know what it is, and how it can work for you without earning a huge return.
Many successful investors get the feeling that their cash is “burning a hole in their wallet.” After all, that cash could be earning a return.
Using up that “cash burning a hole in your wallet” so it “earns a return” is the real estate investor’s constant dilemma.
Today we are going to talk about how much of an emergency fund you should have personally.
We will discuss how much capital you should plan on for your first short term rental investment.
And we will discuss what an emergency fund should look like for your portfolio before you begin putting money into you own pocket as a return on your investment.
As always, thank you for listening and being the best part of this show.

Let’s dive into some really exciting news we’ve been talking about for a while now but getting some validation.
AirBnb CEO, Brian Chesky, just stated that they will need millions more hosts to meet surging demand.
What areas are people searching?
Rural areas
Small towns
Entry Points to State & National Parks
Demand is crazy right now and STR have become the preferred choice for many travelers.
I’ve been saying that Covid was a multi trillion dollar advertising campaign for the STR industry and is sound like Brian agrees.
We are seeing the length of stays continuing to increase and we are hearing from multiple sources that approximately 50% of companies are planning to allow remote work post pandemic.
Right now many hosts are seeing almost 100% occupancy heading into the travel season. This is an indication that we are going to see ANR go up for many hosts adding to the bottom line.
In short, the future looks very bright and there is a lot of opportunity for those of us in the STR game for the foreseeable future.

Meet James & Emily Bauslaugh – They are from Fredricksburg, VA and they were looking for a plan to purchase their first vacation rental property when I met them less than 30 days ago.

Today Shelly joined our podcast and we had a great chat about Baseball, Basketball & how it all relates to Lifestyle Asset Acquisitions.
Purchasing the right property in the right area is a critical step in building a profitable portfolio. However, too many people start the acquisition process and assume that the perfect property is going to just magically fall into their lap.
You have to put your self in the game and understand that it take a few at bats before you will see the perfect pitch.

Meet Troy & Misti Petrie – They are from Denver, CO and they were looking for a plan to purchase their first vacation rental property back in August when I met them. They loved hiking and skiing in the Colorado mountains and always thought of ways to purchase a property they could use that also gave them a great return.
Troy and Misti have always been system and process oriented and they were looking for a system that they could follow to help them bridge the gap between having an idea of owning a profitable vacation rental to the reality of actually purchasing the property.
Let’s break it down:

As you guys know, I am a HUGE fan of taking massive action. You’ve heard me say over and over that Action leads to Results and results lead to Momentum.
However, massive action without a plan can lead to disaster.
Action always leads to results. However, it doesn’t always lead to your desired result.
I learned an embarrassing lesson in 7th grade about taking action without a plan, listen to the podcast to hear my story.
I love action takers. I’ve always considered myself an action taker and sometimes it has gotten me in trouble.
Many people in the VR world take action and purchase a property without a real plan for what to do after they own it. They know that there are platforms like Airbnb to help them and they figure that is all they need. Their investment is very market dependent. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t.
Compare that with the people who purchase a property with an acquisition plan to help analyze the location and property type. Identify the profit potential and invest ability of the area they are looking for. They then have a specific management structure that fits their property and location as well as their needs. They know the details of who their target guest is and where they are coming from. They follow a plan to deliver a unique experience to that target guest. And finally they know every detail about how to market to that target guest and get them to book their home without the help of the OTA’s like Airbnb. They have a platform to follow up with all of their happy guests to generate repeat bookings and the list can go on and on. Who do you think has a better chance to succeed and really maximize their investment?
Obviously, the person that has a plan and pays attention to the details.
My lesson for today is to have a plan, pay attention to the details of that plan and THEN take massive action following your plan.

I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts recently that pissed me off so much I almost turned it off. You'll have to listen to hear the whole story.
Lets apply it to the VR world
There is an evolution that takes place in any new adventure.
Mike Dillard has said that there are really only two ways to change your circumstances.
-
Acquiring new information and expanding your knowledge
-
Meeting new people and expanding your network
Many people get into the VR game with one idea in mind and then end up evolving as their knowledge base expands as well as their network.
We focus on three main areas inside of LAU, the Acquisition Phase, Set Up and Management Phase & the Marketing Phase.
One phase is not more or less important that the other. We tend to begin and end with the acquisition phase in most real estate investing.
However, VR are much closer related to a business than a real estate investment.
If you only focus on the acquisition phase, your property will be very market dependent and you will continue to compete for customer acquisition in more and more saturated markets. This can feel like you are swimming upstream and depending on many outside influences that you have no control over.
However, if you take it a few steps further, your business can evolve to be very self sustaining by focusing on the customer experience and customer retention which is way more enjoyable and where you have complete influence and control.
Conceptually, many business owners and professionals understand this. They just haven’t applied it to their vacation rental business.
This happen when you expand your knowledge base and your network to change your circumstances.

ARE YOU READY FOR MARKETING???
Identify 3 Major Outcomes – 1. Acquiring a property in the right location & property type. 2. Set up & management of your property to deliver a unique experience. 3. Maximizing your asset with turbocharged marketing.
Rewind and Make Sure You Have Built A Solid Foundation
WHY WE MARKET OUR PROPERTY OUTSIDE OF THE OTA’s…
To Build A Business With Our Own Customer Base. Don’t complain about the OTA’s if you are not willing to do anything about it. Your job is to build a customer base outside of the OTA’s if you really want long term success.
PAID ADVERTISING VS ORGANIC
Paid is predictable and scalable.
COMMIT TO THE PROCESS
Your marketing, even with a proven process, is making constant iterations. You need to commit to the entire process.
DELIVER ON YOUR PROMISES
Marketing is essentially making promises. You are making an offer to get a response. When you get a response, make sure you deliver.
You should have a thoughtfully crafted customer journey that over delivers on all of the promises that you have made to your prospects.

Specialized Knowledge Builds Wealth.
“Successful People in all callings never stop acquiring specialized knowledge related to their major purpose, business or profession.” – Napoleon Hill
Real Estate is a Huge ocean. There are lots of different ways people make money in real estate.
However, when you look at the most successful people, they have chosen to focus their attention to acquire specialized knowledge in a very specific area.
STR are one specific vehicle in real estate. However, even though STR are a small niche in real estate, there are experts who make money in different ways within STR.
In any game you play, if you want an unfair advantage, you need to specialize.
So many people are looking for the magic pill or secret to success. There is no magic pill but there is most definitely a secret to success it’s just not what most people want to hear.
The Secret to success is mastering a specific skill. Sound easy but mastery takes time and most people are not willing to put in that time.
However, those that are willing will see success
Knowledge leads to Action. Action leads to Results. Results lead to Momentum and that ultimately snowballs into massive success.
Does it happen overnight – absolutely not. Most people over estimate what they can accomplish in 30 days but grossly under estimate what they can accomplish in a year.
The time is going by one way or the other. Spend the time to master a specific skill and you will set yourself up for massive success.

Still the number one question that I get is: Where are the most profitable locations?
I want to challenge you today to ask a different question.
When you ask better questions you get better answers.
Your short term rental is a long term investment and markets change over time.
Publications love to promote the Top Location Lists because they know that's what people want to see. However, those lists are like musical chairs.
How do you identify the most profitable locations???
Most look at the ratio between Acquisition Price and Revenue generated by the property and that is a calculation of ANR and Occupancy.
The problems is that those things changes all the time.
I challenge you to ask different questions like:
What makes a location or specific property type profitable?
What are the major profit drivers in an area?
What can I do to add profitability to the property?
What can I do to market and stand out in a crowded marketplace?
All of these questions will help you better determine the most profitable market for YOU.
The best part is, there is not 1 or 10 or 100 great markets to own Vacation Rentals. There are thousands.
There are pros and cons in every market but if you start to peel back the layers of the onion and really understand the profit drivers in a particular area you will not be dependent on what the market is doing to dictate your profitability.
One of the best parts about VR as an investment is that we have the ability to maximize the profitability.

Over the last week the COVID-19 has heavily affected the way Americans operate. I’ve thought a lot about what that means for all of us – my family, our real estate community, our global community & our collective human family.
Some of what is going on is unprecedented, most of which is out of our control.
One thing that is within our control is how we react to the situation dealt to us.
No matter what is going on around us, we have the freedom to choose how we react to this problem. It is never a good time to hit the panic button. We will get through this together.
I’m not at all saying we should not be mindful of any potential risks. We should be mindful of our current reality and follow what the science based advise the CDC is telling us.
I believe that the current recommendations will help slow the spread of the virus and allow our health care professionals to get ahead of the situation.
First let’s talk about the obvious. The markets are a mess and that is going to affect real estate.
How exactly? We don’t know.
In the short term people may just wait and see how things shake out.
The #1 Question I Get – What are the most profitable locations to purchase Lifestyle Assets?
There is no perfect area or property type. There are usually multiple opportunities in every market.
The better questions to ask is, How do I identify the best opportunities within a specific area?
There is not a One Size Fits All, but there are ways to identify if a particular property or location will be a good investment.
There is not one Data Source that tells the whole story

Steve Jobs died a billionaire, with a fortune of $7 billion, at the age of 56 from pancreatic cancer, and here are some of his last words... 👇👇👇
“In other eyes, my life is the essence of success, but aside from work, I have a little joy. And in the end, wealth is just a fact of life to which I am accustomed.”
“At this moment, lying on the bed, sick and remembering all my life, I realize that all my recognition and wealth that I have is meaningless in the face of imminent death. You can hire someone to drive a car for you, make money for you – but you can not rent someone to carry the disease for you. One can find material things, but there is one thing that can not be found when it is lost – “LIFE”. ❤️
Treat yourself well, and cherish others. As we get older we are smarter, and we slowly realize that the watch is worth $30 or $300 – both of which show the same time. Whether we carry a purse worth $30 or $300 – the amount of money in the wallets are the same. Whether we drive a car worth $150,000, or a car worth $30,000 – the road and distance are the same, we reach the same destination. If we drink a bottle worth $300 or wine worth $10 – the “stroller” will be the same. If the house we live in is 300 square meters, or 3000 square meters – the loneliness is the same.”
“Your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world. 🌍 Whether you’re flying first class, or economy class – if the plane crashes, you crash with it.”
So, I hope you understand that when you have friends or someone to talk to – this is true happiness! ✅
💥 Five Undeniable Facts 💥
1️⃣ Do not educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy. – So when they grow up they will know the
value of things, not the price.
2️⃣ Eat your food as medicine, otherwise you will need to eat your medicine as food.
3️⃣ Whoever loves you will never leave you, even if he has 100 reasons to give up. He will always find one reason to hold on.
4️⃣ There is a big difference between being human and human being.
5️⃣ If you want to go fast – go alone! But if you want to go far – go together.
And in conclusion... 👇
👨⚕️ The six best doctors in the world 👩⚕️
1️⃣ Sunlight
2️⃣ Rest
3️⃣ Exercise
4️⃣ Diet
5️⃣ Self-confidence
6️⃣ Friends
Keep them in all stages of life and enjoy a healthy life. 😊
Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.
Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends...
Treat yourself well. Cherish others. 🎉
“Love the people God sent you, one day He’ll need them back.”

Too many would be investors focus on the return on their investment and ignore the most important aspect of any investment. That is the Return Of Their Investment. Once you get a 100% return of your investment you are playing with house money. That is the holy grail of investing because it allows you to rinse and repeat over and over again building true wealth.
.
100% Return Of Your Capital has more to do with the team you have assembled than the actual investment. Your expert team must first understand your exact goals, plans, finances, expectation, etc. well before you begin purchasing Lifestyle Assets. The Lifestyle Asset that we recommend for one person may not be a good fit for another person. You need to trust and feel comfortable that you have the right team on your side and that will put you in the best position to get a 100% return of your capital to continue building your portfolio.

I’m not a big believer in cash flow being the main reason to build a passive income portfolio. I know that is a shocker statement and goes against what many people talk about. Cash flow is important and something to consider but I do not believe it is the top priority when building your Lifestyle Asset portfolio.
.
I’m a huge believer in Net Worth being the biggest reason we should invest early on and for the long term. Combine that with a positive cash flow and you have a no brainer reason to build a Lifestyle Asset portfolio.
.
If you are only looking for a positive cash flow as you evaluate properties, you will make mistakes. You will be fooled into purchasing cheaper, low quality properties. The cheap properties that have a higher cash flow will be much riskier long term.
