• 138. "We Spent 6 Months Looking for the Perfect Boutique Motel Deal" - Interview with Kerri Gibson

  This week I sit down with Kerri Gibson of Chalets Hygge. Kerri details for us every step she took between purchasing her first STR which was supposed to be a simple side hustle... to expanding to 10 listings, kicking off a major direct booking strategy and brand, and now purchasing her first boutique motel with her husband. It's rare to find someone so willing to outline every single step of their journey, but Kerri doesn't hold back a thing. This conversation was such a good refresher that the "overnight successes" you see online are anything but that. Kerri's impressive portfolio took years of sacrifice and hard work to build, and if you ask her, she's still always learning and has a ways to go! Thank you Lodgify for sponsoring this episode!

• 137. Why Avery Carl is Doubling Down on Vacation Markets After Getting Her A** Kicked for 10 Years

  This week on No Vacancy I catch up with Avery Carl (check out the last time she was on the show in episode 74) on what her next moves are since we last talked about her portfolio of 250 doors! One thing I found so refreshing about Avery's perspective was her idea that she's "only buying vacation rentals that are meant to be vacation rentals". In a time where midterm rentals, corporate housing, insurance stays, and other rental strategies are more and more trendy, I appreciated Avery's unabashed view on the idea that she's in the STR asset class to be an STR host – not to keep pivoting to the next hot thing! Avery gets candid with us about a big failure with a recent property and how she lost money on the deal. And she also dishes out some real talk to the hosts who are considering selling right now. Be the first to read her newest book, "Smarter Short-Term Rentals" published with Bigger Pockets by pre-ordering it now here. Thank you to my sponsors!

• 134. We Made $1.5 Million Last Year & Gave Away More Nights Than Ever - Part 2 with Brent Phillips of Milk & Honey Ranch

  Today on No Vacancy I had the pleasure of catching up with Brent Phillips, the founder of Milk & Honey Ranch. And dammit, this man makes me cry every single time. Today's episode falls on the 1 year anniversary of his wife Daniela's traumatic car accident that almost left her for dead. Listen to episode 94 from last year to hear part 1 of this story... Now, exactly 1 year later, Brent is here to fill us in on how he, his family, and his business navigated this last year. Spoiler alert, they had their most profitable year EVER ($1.5 million in gross revenue) while also having the most charitable year ever, with dozens of nights gifted to guests, free workshops held for autistic kids, and retreats for TBI survivors. You'll love this story, and you will need tissues. Don't say I didn't warn you. And lastly... WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT LILY PHILLIPS (no relation to Brent LOL). Yes, that Lily Phillips – the OnlyFans model who slept with 101 guys in an Airbnb. Let's get into it.
