Welcome, and thanks for checking in today to No Vacancy The Podcast!On this week's episode:You may remember Patryk from episode 38 where he broke down the BRRRR strategy for us. Now, I had to have him back on No Vacancy because Patryk has become an expert in buying existing cohosting businesses. Instead of acquiring cohost clients one by one, which so many of us find ourselves doing, Patryk found a shortcut by buying portfolios of cohosted contracts! He's closing on his 3rd purchase, and has been able to onboard 50+ units from these 3 transactions. Even if you're not interested in buying a cohost business, Patryk shares some tips on how you can prepare your cohost business to be sold one day, and what buyers like him are looking for!AITAH for not wanting to be the "financial advisor" for this guest?Connect with Patryk @patryk_swietekPurchase Patryk's Brand New Book: The Wealthy Airbnb SuperhostThank you to my sponsors!Start using Turno today!Get 3 months of HostGPO for free! Check out our partners at Hospitable, the highest-rated vacation rental softwareConnect:Show Notes | Start Your Airbnb InstagramPodcast Producer: Kelsey Tran | kelsey@hospitality.fm Learn more about your ad choices.
