Get Paid For Your Pad | Airbnb Hosting | Vacation Rentals | STR Revenue Management Scaling the Ownership Model in a Secondary Market
One of the biggest challenges of the ownership model is scaling fast. It requires capital, partners, and contractors to keep things going.
All significant challenges, especially when based in a secondary market.
In January 2018, Rob Scarborough went from real estate flipper to accidental Airbnb short-term rental host. His company, Just Like Home Vacation Rentals, based in the Kansas City Metro market, got its start on the ownership side of things. Rob, who recently completed the Legends X program, has now leveraged the tools he learned in the program to grow his company to beyond what he thought was possible.
On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Rob joins me to walk us through his accidental start in the Airbnb market, the challenges of STR ownership and his 3 tips for flourishing in the ownership model.
Listen in as Rob shares how he’s using his experience to segue into the property management side of the STR industry. Plus, what he and his team learned from Legends X that is helping his company scale more quickly than they ever dreamed.
