99 - Is Your STR Business Worth Selling? The M&A Playbook with Dylan Burgess

If you've ever thought about selling your STR business someday, this episode is a must-listen. Matt and Austin sit down with Dylan Burgess, VP of Mergers and Acquisitions at C2G Advisors, the leading M&A advisory firm in the short-term rental industry. With nearly 10 years in the space and 36 acquisitions under his belt, Dylan has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Vacasa and VTrips, and now helps vacation rental managers buy, sell, and maximize the value of their businesses.

Dylan breaks down exactly what buyers are looking for, how businesses are valued, why your homeowner contracts and fee structure matter more than you think, and the hidden revenue streams most operators are leaving on the table. Whether you have 5 units or 500, the decisions you make TODAY will determine what your business is worth TOMORROW.

In this episode, you will learn:

Why standardizing your contracts and operations early is critical for a future exit, what a healthy profit margin actually looks like in the STR space (Dylan gives you the real numbers), how cleaning, maintenance, and damage waivers are some of your biggest untapped revenue opportunities, what makes a business "sticky" and attractive to serious buyers, and when the right time is to reach out to an advisor even if you are not ready to sell yet.

This is one of those episodes that will change the way you think about your business. Do not sleep on it.
