In a recent real-life case study shared by Ruben Kanya on “The Real Estate Experiment,” he delves into a competitive scenario where two relocation specialists from the same company vied for a premium temporary housing opportunity. The property, a fully furnished 4-bed, 3-bath home with pet-friendly amenities and utilities included, became a sought-after solution for families facing water damage-related relocations.

Ruben highlights three key elements that played a pivotal role in this scenario:

1. Branding: The power of a positive reputation in the industry became evident as one relocation specialist reached out based on the recommendation from a previously established rapport. Ruben emphasizes the importance of your brand being spoken of positively among professionals in the industry, underscoring the influence of word-of-mouth referrals.

2. Marketing: Ruben shares insightful gems from the relocation specialist’s perspective, focusing on effective email communication. Including a Hot Sheet, mentioning the property’s location in the subject line, and detailing property specifics in the body of the email were identified as strategies to increase visibility during relocation searches.

3. Pricing: The study underscores the critical role of pricing in securing deals. Ruben explores the delicate balance between offering competitive incentives and understanding the budget constraints of relocation specialists. He emphasizes that while a standard rule of thumb often applies, factors like low supply can alter pricing dynamics, prompting relocation companies to consider even unfurnished accommodations.

This case study serves as a practical illustration of the intricate interplay between branding, marketing, and pricing in the competitive landscape of temporary housing. Ruben uses this scenario to underscore the nuanced strategies that can significantly impact success in the mid-term rental insurance niche, teasing the depth of insights participants can expect from his 2-Day Mid-Term Rental Insurance Marketing and Optimization Virtual workshops.

In his live training session at the MTR Wealth Retreat in Park City, Utah, Ruben Kanya, the host of "The Real Estate Experiment," delved into the pivotal concept of unlocking one's 10x potential for exponential growth and impactful transformation in the realm of midterm rental real estate. He emphasized that before implementing any strategies or insights for scaling operations and maximizing revenue with fewer properties, a fundamental shift in mindset is essential. Ruben stressed the importance of embracing a new paradigm, one that opens the mind to possibilities beyond the conventional.

Central to Ruben's training was the idea of recoding one's mental software, or paradigm. He highlighted that genuine quantum leaps in success start at the subconscious level, much like any profound transformation. Ruben underscored the difference between merely acquiring knowledge and integrating it into the subconscious, making it an automatic part of daily habits. He asserted that without this critical step, new information remains inert and unable to drive meaningful change.

Ruben likened a paradigm to a collection of fixed ideas in the subconscious mind, which manifest as habits. He explained that a habit is essentially an idea that expresses itself without conscious thought. Many participants at the retreat experienced a paradigm shift through the training, but Ruben emphasized that, like a muscle, it must be continuously worked on to solidify the transformation. He encouraged his audience to revisit and listen to the training repeatedly, allowing it to become an integral part of their new paradigm for success in the world of midterm rental real estate. This episode serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to unlock their 10x potential and drive exponential growth and impactful transformation in their real estate endeavors.

In a thought-provoking episode of "The Real Estate Experiment," host Ruben Kanya dives deep into the significance of striking a balance between automations powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and the human element in real estate ventures. Ruben emphasizes that it's not a matter of choosing one over the other but rather understanding when to leverage both to maximize results in all real estate experiments.

Ruben begins by explaining that while AI and automation can streamline processes and increase efficiency, they should never replace the human touch. He highlights the importance of maintaining a personal connection with clients and tenants, as this human element fosters trust, understanding, and a sense of care that technology alone cannot replicate.

To illustrate his point, Ruben provides everyday examples where combining AI with the human element can be immensely valuable. He discusses how implementing automated systems for customer inquiries and support can provide quick and efficient responses, ensuring a seamless experience for potential tenants.

However, Ruben stresses that when it comes to more complex inquiries or issues, a personal touch is essential, such as engaging in live chat conversations or offering personalized assistance to address specific concerns.

Ruben also explores the role of AI in marketing campaigns. He acknowledges that automation can be highly effective in reaching a larger audience, managing advertising campaigns, and analyzing data to optimize marketing strategies. However, Ruben emphasizes that the human touch is critical in crafting compelling narratives, understanding the emotional needs of potential tenants, and building authentic connections through personalized communication.

Ruben concludes by highlighting that successful real estate experiments require a harmonious blend of AI automation and the human element. He urges listeners to embrace technological advancements and leverage automation to enhance efficiency and reach, but always with the understanding that the human touch is irreplaceable when it comes to building trust, providing personalized support, and fostering genuine connections.

By striking the right balance between AI and the human element, real estate professionals can create exceptional experiences for their clients and tenants. Ruben's insights serve as a reminder that while technology can undoubtedly enhance operations, the human element remains the cornerstone of successful real estate ventures.

In a recent episode of "The Real Estate Experiment," host Ruben Kanya delves into his reading of "10x is Easier Than 2x" by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan.

Ruben realizes that by embracing the 10x mentality, he can redefine what is possible in his real estate ventures and surpass his previous limitations.

Moreover, Ruben reflects on the need for relentless focus and discipline to drive 10x results. He acknowledges that achieving extraordinary success demands unwavering commitment, continuous learning, and a willingness to embrace discomfort and uncertainty. Ruben commits to integrating these principles into his real estate experiments, recognizing that they are critical factors for accomplishing significant breakthroughs.

Throughout the episode, Ruben showcases his excitement and determination to apply the insights from "10x is Easier Than 2x" to his own real estate journey. He shares his plans to implement new strategies, collaborate with like-minded individuals, and challenge himself to explore uncharted territories.

Buckle down Experiment Nation, because we’ve got a treat of an episode for you. Today, we have the one and only Shawn Moore, Founder and CEO of Vodyssey, THE NUMBER ONE vacation rental investing education company in the world. Shawn and his team are dedicated to helping individuals achieve a lifestyle of financial freedom by providing resources and guidance that gets you to the top!

But here’s the kicker - Shawn didn’t start out on top. In fact, he lost everything at one point during 2008, and made an even worse decision before that, selling ALL his 52 single family rental properties. But he bounced back stronger than ever by niching down to short-term rentals, and elevating that further into the global investing education that he has today.

After 22 years in the game, Shawn has been through it all, and he is clearly qualified to talk about the pitfalls, challenges, and the tactics to make it in the real estate investing world. We got into the nitty-gritty of what separates successful people, and how building your self-identity is key to achieving your goals. And that’s just the tip of it, we also dive deep into how his programs educate other investors into really getting started, and narrowing down your goals into a laser-focus precision.

If you believe that vacation rentals are a great vehicle towards financial freedom, this episode with Shawn is the validation (and game plan) you’ve been looking for. Settle in, and get ready to learn from a true practitioner. Watch and listen to Shawn spill all the vacation rental investing knowledge you could ever want, while wearing the coolest cowboy hat to boot. Saddle up and let’s build!

2,000 nights as a guest, six continents, and over a hundred cities, Daniel has been living permanently in Airbnbs for the last seven years. He couldn’t have introduced himself any better but that isn’t even the most interesting part about today’s episode. Like we always say, we love true practitioners here in the lab, and none more verified than Daniel, who’s journey took him from wanting to be the best accountant to building his own consulting firm.

Daniel Rusteen began his CPA Accounting career at Airbnb but it didn’t feel right because to Daniel, if you can’t be the best, then you’re on the wrong path. Airbnb, before its popularity, encouraged their employees to host. Around this time, Daniel had already been hired and fired by Airbnb, and was now at the cusp of being rehired again in a different department. That was when Daniel took on Airbnbs referral program and performed incredibly. It was obvious he could pull it off without working as an employee, so he ditched the CPA life in exchange for the unknown and it paid off! And that isn’t even the most interesting part of this episode!

Daniel breaks it down with us, about how you can optimize your Airbnb, how to look for profitable properties using ‘soft stats’, what makes people stuck, how to get unstuck, and his experience during his time working at Airbnb. A collection of invaluable expertise built through years of experience, that you can only find with guests here at the lab. This episode is a peek into the mind of an expert who’s worked with Airbnb, stays at Airbnbs, and now writes and consults about Airbnb management. It can’t get any better than that.

Minoan is at the frontier of a new shopping experience they call “Native Retail.” At the forefront of this retail concept is founder Marc Hostovsky who leads an incredible team that is pushing the boundaries and shaping the future of what the retail experience will look like.

We are more likely to purchase a product that we have experienced “in the wild” ourselves from sleeping on a good pillow, linen, mattress, to riding a Peloton bike. Marc and his team believes that these moments in retail are a powerful driver for customers to purchase and they’ve successfully built a market around these experiences.

Short term & vacation rentals are the perfect space for the customer to experience branded products that have both functionality & enhanced their user experience. Minoan and Marc have simplified this experience with a simple shoppable system that allows you to order anything seamlessly by scanning a code. This means additional profits for the host, and a step closer to changing the perspective of how retail should view hosts as marketing partners. Hosts not only provide the space but allow for these rich, sensory retail moments that can only be duplicated in the short term rental industry.

Marc uncovers every facet of this retail innovation at Minoan and its potentials from the B2B market, their future marketing goals, native retail moments, to their core values & business principles. Marc and the team at Minoan are introducing the idea of hosts as “four-walled influencers” for brands, while Minoan provides a curated experience that bridges together the hosts and brands into the makings of the future of digital retail not just in real estate but for shopping all over. It’s an incredibly riveting and informative episode, exactly the type of data-driven, revolutionizing innovations that defines our love for experiments here in the lab.

Madison is a startup genius, born and raised in a family of entrepreneurs and a third to triplets. So already this is going to be three times more interesting because of her background on tech startups and how she’s transitioned that experience into the short term rental industry, as the founder of Mount. A company she essentially started when she was only 12 years old. At just 25 years old today she is the CEO of a company that is revolutionizing the way we look at our amenities as income producing opportunities in your short term rentals.

Madison runs a successful model that opens up additional revenue for hosts by including additional rental amenities that would have otherwise been overlooked. These are anything from propane tanks, to firewood, to surfboards, to their most popular (by far) electric bikes. That last amenity, in a way, is where Madison’s path to the real estate industry began because she also created a startup renting out scooters.

From Madison’s grandfather, who built businesses in the 1950s, to her grandma’s cooking school, her aunts and uncles’ purse company, to even now her cousin’s restaurants, it’s clear to see that entrepreneurship runs in their blood. Evident in Madison creating her own bike lock when she was twelve years old that set her on an early path to building a business mind. Today, she tells a story about her father coaching their triplet trio in a soccer game and how they’d just connect like that innately

Madison’s background is just as interesting and inspiring as her achievements. And in the lab, we have a feeling that she is just getting started.

I have two practitioners today in the lab and they come in with a craft, purpose and partnership. The core pillars when experimenting in vacation home rentals. We use the word practitioners intentionally because we believe in doing the actual work and then offering it as a service. It means they understand the industry deeply having gone through it themselves, starting outside their comfort zones and pushing past their fears.

For both of them, it all started with design. Jordan McDonough and Bri West have been in business offering design for other people's short-term rentals for only six months and they've been crushing it. Jordan is your creative design guru, whose design vision is always aligned with that of Bri, who on the other hand is your ambitious marketer and consultant. Together they partnered to catapult Somerled Designs into what it looks like from the outside, an overnight success. However their key ingredients is their ability to both have a deep foundational expertise of what they do and a partner ship that compliments one another beautifully.

We talk about all the challenges in between and more, from their friendship, design philosophy, sales and all the wallpapers they covered in order to get here. They're going to give us a masterclass on what they've mastered and are continuing to master. They have such a hybrid operation from analyzing to designing, there's a lot there and we’re going to pick their brains today.

This talk has been long overdue and we’re thrilled glad that we finally got a chance to talk about their background and combining their unique geniuses. These two rock stars have truly carved out their niche, marrying together design intuition and deep market research. Their combo and having that design touch is what truly turned this experiment into a huge success.

Zeona is a true real estate experimenter and a skilled investor who’s walked the walk, AND talked the talk. She is the co-host of the INVEST2FI Podcast and the co-author of the “30-day Stay”, which is all about mastering the medium term rental industry.

Zeona has hands-on experience in many aspects of real investing, from arbitrage to buy-and-furnish. It all started when Zeona's best friend rented his place out on Airbnb. Fast forward to a decade later, Zeona has been an Airbnb host since 2012. After ten years of being a short-term rental property manager and consultant, she has transitioned to selling real estate to investors who are looking to house hack or live for free. She is an avid real estate investor who owns and manages a double-digit portfolio, and she teaches listeners how to achieve financial freedom through real estate on her podcast, Invest2FI. She has been featured on BiggerPockets, Mr. Money Mustache, NPR, and has been a guest on more than fifty podcasts. Zeona has been to 47 countries--she spends half the year in Boulder, Colorado and the other half traveling the world as an international pet and house sitter.

But her first foray particularly in medium term rentals started during the pandemic. Or rather, COVID lockdowns forced her to rethink her strategy and found that medium term rentals are overlooked but very viable.

If you’re a regular listener, you’ll know how much we’ve been loving midterm term rentals recently. This makes this particular episode a special one as we’ve been geeking out over Zeona’s book latest book 30 day stay published by Bigger Pockets! Long overdue we finally got her in the lab!

We cover a lot of ground from niching down to medium term rentals, to using Furnished Finder, and why Zeona believes midterm rentals can strategically work in any property asset. It’s an incredible valuable perspective that really reflects the skills and insight of a seasoned real estate investor like Zeona.

Dive into midterm rentals with Zeona and discover how this could be the key to profitability as a short term rental owner & operator, because remember, you’re always just one experiment away!

Michael Chang is a recovering investment banker, now turned high scale short term rental owner and operator as co-founder of TrustBNB Vacation Rentals. Mike got his MBA from Cornell in 2009, and spent a decade on wall street as an investment banker. While the pay was great – what he now calls the golden handcuffs, he got over the lifestyle overtime. Today, he  reflects that he should have left in half the time to build the lifestyle business & empire he and his wife Liz built today. Mike perspective in our short term rental industry is unique coming from an individual who is all about numbers, knows his numbers very accurately, and shares with us exactly how he tackles the goals that got him & his wife to $7M+ owned in Airbnb real estate.

Mike immigrated with his family from Taiwan when he was four years old. And the one constant in his life has always been work ethic. This same work ethic he saw from his mother helped him achieve a successful career in mergers & acquisition investment banking with over $40B closed in deals.He then took this knowledge and applied it to a blend of full owning his short term rentals with a combination of rental arbitrage in volume in buildings with proximity to the city. He resides in New York with his wife and daughter and their portfolio expands from Philadelphia, PA.

Fun fact, Mike & Ruben worked at the same investment bank at some point (Jefferies) and both reside in New York city, during this episode they both geek out in the lab with love of short term rental real estate. If you love the gritty details and mindset that it takes to succeed in this industry from someone who’s walked the walk successfully in one of the most respectable industries as an investment banker to a successful transition into short term rentals – you need to listen to this episode. This is one of those gems of an episode that really goes into the granular actionable steps with a touch of serendipity, as Mike happens to share the same values of experiment nation. Experiment. Fail. Learn. Repeat. Enjoy!

#investment #banking #rentalarbitrage

Derrick's story started like many investors but took a very unconventional route creating a very unconventional real estate financing company.

Derrick started flipping units out of state with other people’s money with his partners who were also college friends at Harvard based out of Boston. They did this all out of state, hitting the ground running. The other people’s money that they used came from levering the money of their Harvard network to invest in Atlanta. They began scaling their portfolio with quadruplexes, condos, and flipping those too.

After graduating and experiencing the Wall Street experience at Goldman Sachs as a trader, Derrick was taken aback by the speed at which these corporations are able to get access to capital. While he continue to scale his real estate portfolio, he and his partners took on the opportunity of getting quicker financing for real estate deals.

Derrick as co-founder of Nectar took on the challenge of helping investors get fast, flexible, non-debt financing that they need to scale their rental portfolio — without raising equity. Nectar wants to address the amount of time it takes to get financing for real estate across the board: whether it be for a flip, multifamily, long-term rental, or short-term rental without needing to give up equity with partners and/or paying the highest rates to get access to capital quickly. There was an opportunity to make a change in the way the real estate industry gets financing. Derrick speaks from experience as he and his wife Brittany who he also met at Harvard built a $400 million real estate portfolio.

Nectar believes that real estate entrepreneurs deserve to keep their upside and Nectar can help them do this by simply looking at your net cash flow as long-term investor, multifamily, short-term rental investor, and even as a property management owner – the cashflow that your portfolio generates is used as a multiple that Nectar can use to calculate a cash advance to buy your next deal or even furnish & redesign your existing short term rentals. The opportunities on how you used your cash advance are up to you.

Step into the lab with Derrick to see how his unconventional journey as an entrepreneur and real estate investor can help you with unconventional financing that most investors next door are not using without giving up any equity.

The short-term rental industry is a niched real estate industry of its own, and Dave Goodfellow was able to scale his operations within a unique niche of what he calls ApartHotels — giving him the most cash flow through a lean repeatable model.

An Aparthotel is a concept of building multiple units under a single roof. Dave began his short-term rental experiments first off in the rental arbitrage arena to then scale into ApartHotels. Today, Dave and his team target rundown hotels, remove all the operational hospitality space (i.e. restaurants, etc) or what Dave calls operational headaches, and repurposes it into a rentable place for guests to maximize.

Dave Goodfellow of Ikonic Training is an active property investor for more than ten years with a background in sales operations. He has driven the front of their serviced accommodation business in multiple locations in less than two years using these mixed strategies.

In this episode, we learn that not all real estate is created equal. There always has to be a value add component. You might be buying a property that's neglected, but it has reasonable bones in it. Buying a property can either mean cash flow (rents) or capital growth (sale price).

As the soon-to-be author of the book Airbnb Simplified, Dave shows us how you can simplify your short-term rental strategy by executing your experiments in a very lean way in ApartHotels.

Along with being a mother, she constantly makes the time and effort to learn a brand new industry that is giving her and her husband a very high return on investment along with the fulfillment that comes with hosting families.

With all the red tape and regulations occurring with traditional short-term rentals and the ability to achieve increased occupancy for your STRs, the mid-term rental blueprint can solve a need in the industry and fill your individual or multiple units at scale when executed properly. Jesse steps in the lab to show us how!

While most investors focus on sharing their passion, Noble on the other hand, emphasizes the importance of being able to solve problems, hence why his business model is business to business – making him a true Entrepreneur.

Noble Crawford is an Entrepreneur, Investor and Consultant who is passionate about building profitable businesses, technology, marketing, real estate and most importantly – investing in people. He is also a 7-year business owner and principal partner in the short-term rental industry. His diverse background spans several years in hospitality, technology, and sales & marketing. Noble has worked with brands such as Marriott, Hilton, IHG, and more. His experience enables him to teach his students how to collaborate with multifamily owners and property management firms to create win-win partnerships.

In this episode, we learn the benefits and importance of having multiple vertical business-integrations. Having many opportunities at hand will increase your options as an entrepreneur, and you are bound to find a business more suited to your abilities. Having multiple businesses that bring in cash flow allows you to build liquidity for times when your primary business falters. Serial entrepreneurs like Noble, prefer to build an organization that has multiple businesses integrated under one umbrella and control the customer experience.

Most serial entrepreneurs are highly experimental, it is simply because successful entrepreneurs like Noble, are willing to change and adapt & integrate what they are doing rather than stick with a plan that is not working – to efficiently provide the best solutions in the marketplace. This is what experimenting is all about,

While some have niched into short-term rental investing, Alex Jarbo niches down even deeper and specifically develops and builds short-term rental properties to the tune of cabins and tiny homes including land plays for multiple lots to build large short-term rental communities.

Alex Jarbo was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. After high school, he felt that going the traditional route of college and university wasn't for him, so at the age of 18 years old, he decided to join the Marine Corps. Although it was scary at first, he gradually felt more confident and comfortable with his decision to serve his country. Over time, he was able to embody the core values of the Marines: Honor, Courage and Commitment. He served for 4.5 years in the Marines from his station in Washington, DC and towards the end of his service, started to read books about real estate investing.

Alex, at the young age of 27, is now the founder and CEO of Sargon Investments. He is a short-term rental developer and manager. He is a regular contributor to some of the top real estate investing podcasts in the world. He is also the host of the YouTube channel Alex Builds where he teaches how to properly build and manage short-term rentals.

As mentioned, there are a few things that differentiate a short-term rental developer from other developers. First, they build places that are designed to be used as short-term rentals, so they are high quality and well-maintained. Second, they often focus on larger scale developments because they know hotel operators will want to cherry pick the best locations in a city. This means more inventory spread around, which increases the overall supply of available units for visitors across multiple areas of town. Third, with their expertise in short-term rentals, developers like Alex, understand the importance of community engagement and support for local businesses.

Alex’s lab is composed of creating a dynamic, technology-fueled business that is streamlined, strong, and profitable. Tune in to discover what experiments he did to become one of the best in his field.

There’s a significant difference between branding and marketing, and Jordan Kahana, our most recent guest will tell us why. Jordan’s first break was by a desert dog video that went viral on The Dodo with 120 million views! That’s what started Jordan’s journey into marketing but how did he go from that to the short term rental marketing platform that is Stayamo today, a marketplace that has over 600+ homes to  rent to 2000+ creators worldwide. Jordan and his team achieved this by combining vacation rentals model with content creators, and he’s laying out the entire game plan in our episode today.

Influencer marketing sometimes gets a bad rep but perhaps because it is misunderstood or even maybe underutilized. Influencers are mostly viewed from an entertainment perspective but can be used as a source of lead generation and brand awareness as there are multiple eyeballs that pay attention to what they talk about and where they go. Enter short term rentals. Tenants love seeing themselves in the place first before considering staying. Content creators give the audience a firsthand, even a creative look into the rental space, allowing them to see what it’s like staying there. It’s a stroke of genius and a combination that gives home owners the ability to even possibly get photography, video and marketing  of their house in exchange for a stay.

From his love for dogs and a viral video, to a unique global marketplace, Jordan is yet another example proving that YOU are always just one experiment away.

Alex Sabio is a respiratory care practitioner turned real estate investor who not only lives and breathes real estate but he does so while still having his profession as respiratory therapist. Alex has grown his portfolio while hiring the best resources to help him and selecting the right kind of properties to maximize thousands of dollars in net cash flow per month to optimize for freedom and essentially spend quality time with his family. Alex currently has 5 short term rentals + 2 under contract and is able to implement systems and does it out of state.

Alex talks about trying to syndicate apartments and then his CPA (Amanda Hahn) tapped him on his shoulder to look into STR to material participation hours to claim as  real estate professional. Asking the simple question on where to invest next, led him to discover the Smokey Mountains in July 2020. From this deal, he was able to learn a business and then was able to teach it to his very niched community. He today has found tremendous fulfillment helping other healthcare professionals also achieve financial freedom. Alex quickly became the source of inspiration and practitioner to model within his healthcare network.

It’s one thing to have success in your own experiments but it’s another to help others achieve their own. Alex is living and breathing example of that as the respiratory therapist that doesn’t need to help others as healthcare practitioner to make a living but he simply does because he chooses to, the same way he’s chosen to live and breathe short term rentals and help others do the same.

Ryan Luke is a real estate investor with a very unique model of rental arbitrage baked into his portfolio of properties that he owns as well. Ryan uses his arbitrage model to scale quickly combining cash flow for ownership. He spent months perfecting his business before coming up with a very niched concept in the short term rental industry doing it uniquely overseas, primarily in Dubai. Fast forward now he’s amassed a portfolio of 300+ properties and built a community along the way. Ryan plans on expanding to 5,000 units by 2024, and he is well on his way. The franchise  arbitrage model is baked into his rental management – think strength in numbers –  and he has leveraged this successfully into a faster cash flow engine in real estate. . Any host looking to scale and borrow this proof of concept can do so, as Ryan says, ‘you don't need to create anything new, just model success..”

Starting a business is not an easy feat, but if you keep at it day after day—you are bound to succeed. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Unfortunately, often with rental hosts they create another job in the process of managing their guests and rentals. Ryan Luke has found a way to work through this using a franchise type model. He’s made everything from scratch and teaches this model to hosts today alleviating them with what they struggle the most – back end operations. Tune in to find out how you can implement this model in your lab or simply plug into Ryan’s model as host as Ryan offers a franchise model as a service to those in a community who are a good fit.

Knowledge is truly power. Traci Gagnon who had only $21 in her bank account, bought a book for $14 that became the catalyst of her success. Now she is a real estate investor and an author. When you're on the edge, you'll do anything to survive—and survived she did. They also say that, ‘the master appears when the pupil is ready’,  and Tracy is an excellent example of this. She studied under the greats and became one of them herself. She never stopped being curious about what she didn't know yet, so she kept going and learned everything there was to learn from everyone who knew more than her.

Just like she said, the more you pay, the more you pay attention. She always puts the extra mile in her education, squeezing the ever bit of wisdom she can get. She believes a premium education gives you a long way of success. In this episode, she'll share the secret to her success and much more advice gleaned from those who came before her - all those masters who passed their knowledge down through time so that it could be preserved for future generations like us today to follow in their footsteps. Like Tracy and the greats that paved the way, they all understood very well that you are always one experiment away from success.

Stay humble and work hard - Moriya Rockman, Co-Host of the Hospitable Host and Founder of Triangle Luxury, Smiling House Luxury and Villa Tracker. She fell in love with hospitality by chance when she immigrated to the Swiss Alps with her husband. There they had this very old villa where she hosted a friend; her friend introduced her to Airbnb and told her to put it on the market. And then things just snowballed from there - fast forward to today, Moriya has been able to build an empire from scratch with a hybrid management model, serving thousands of clients and helping thousands of investors.

Luxury is all about authenticity not just location, but taking into account the environment, the guests’ privacy, and design altogether is what separates Moriya from the pack. How did she achieve it all with comfortability and a focus on making the property as welcoming as possible. The interesting part is, they operate as OTAs not property managers, with over 140 destinations and 33 countries, and those numbers just keep growing. They are not only disrupting the industry, but also dominating the short term luxury space. Nothing less from the Shorty’s 2020 Pioneer Awardee herself. Tune in to how Moriya achieved this and how they ‘submerged into tech’ that really catapulted them into industry giants. But for Moriya it’s simple, her goal is to make the world a better place with hospitality, one smile at a time, and one experiment at a time.

Be courageous enough to face rejection. Liam Carolan, a real estate investor and co-author of the Hospitable Hosts started out with humble beginnings as a product manager. The thought of leaving his job began weighing heavily on him so he devised a plan for how to do it. He listened intently to podcasts, audiobooks and invested in a mentor which essentially gave him the knowledge needed to start his own business in the short term rental niche and create a true productocracy. A productocracy is “a product or a service that has a distinctive value skew in the marketplace which incites unsolicited recommendations from its current customers, creating new customers. It was never smooth sailing from the beginning as he received about 50 NOs before getting his first YES! And yes indeed, this was just the beginning of what would soon become financial freedom for Liam and his family.

This episode is a long time coming, we’ve been wanting to set this up since working together on the new international best seller, Hospitable Hosts. In this episode. we talk about the ‘chosen grind’, what is rent-to-service accommodation, and everything about Liam’s cerebral approach to scaling and running a sound short term rental operation using a unique approach. Don’t miss this enlightening episode from such a humble and highly successful experimenter like Liam. And just like many of our guests here in the lab, he’ll be the first to tell you that you’re always just one experiment away!

We got another experiment here at the lab for y’all. Andrew Street is both an entrepreneur and a short term rental host. His company, BnB monthly provides a new model for short-term rentals. His brand’s vision is to innovate midterm rentals: a 30-day plus stay. It's an elevated way of investing through a flexible leasing strategy. Plus, another factor is that it's an automated business, a marriage of technology, innovation and in the case of Andrew, dedication.

You’ve heard of short term rentals, now hear MIDTERM rentals, tune in to learn what a game changer it could be.

In this episode, he'll share his insights about the goal of his company, hosting hacks, the Four Pillars and a whole lot more. Opportunities are rapidly popping up everywhere, and its our goal here in the lab to find them and share it to aspiring superhosts. Never has the real estate industry been this ripe for innovation, especially in the rentals space. All it takes is for the right timing, the right ideas, and the right team to come together, and just like it was for Andrew, innovation is just one experiment away.

Today we have masters of design. The Karwells, creatively derived from a name combination of this powerful duo, is taking the STR world by storm. Emily with her background in fashion and retail, combined with Sarah's creative tenacity. They are a perfect example of polar opposites working perfectly together.

There are levels to this, or should we say, fundamentals to design, and they get a bit tricky when it comes to short term rentals. We'll talk about what to tackle first, their thought process when first entering properties, and how they've structured & partnered with their startup to have proprietary technology to help them find the best properties for their portfolio.

Emily and Sarah are on the verge of creating one of the most unique models, turnkey STR investing with partners. They have proprietary tech called Superhost Labs. We'll get a first peak and talk about how it all came together with help of their charisma and thought leadership via TikTok.

We love seeing ingredients and ideas not only come together but also work together, just like these two ladies who live it AND breath it and truly understand that you are always just one experiment away.

One of the most dominant property management softwares is Guesty For Host App which helps  short term rental operators automate their front, middle and back office operation as short term rental hosts regardless of size of their business. As a matter of fact, Guesty for Hosts is the app that we use internally to manage all of our short term rental units that we own and manage.

Guesty for hosts gives new and seasoned operators the ability to synchronize all listings into one place, automate guest communication, easily integrate with the industry's top OTAs, dynamic pricing tools and a selective group of smart lock vendors to truly systematize your daily experiments in the short term rental space. This includes but is not limited to being able to generate income reports, and even the ability to create a direct booking website in less than 5 minutes.

We sit with Markus Nordvik, one of the GMs and masterminds behind the Guesty For Host application. He shares with us the vision of the app and what’s to come as Guesty continues to serve the budding short term rental operator. We're also hosting Alex Sabio - a real estate investor who's been using Guesty For Host in his latest experiments. He'll share his insights  on how he leverages Guesty as a growing operator with a full time career in healthcare.

In the lab we can say Guesty for hosts has helped us elevate our STR experiments  but don’t take it from us, take it from the experts & practitioners themselves in this episode with Markus and Alex.

How do you build a brand in the STR community, stand out, and make your guests feel even more welcome? This episode, I have the pleasure of stepping into the lab with my man, John Hildebrand, who is all about investing in short term vacation homes away from home while building a  brand in the STR community. His story and approach to build an Airbnb business around an established brand and reputation will inspire you on your journey. From helping others build their brand as photographer to building his own in the short term rental niche, John shares his humble beginnings as a photographer and how that ultimately led him down a path to becoming one of the first Airbnb Brand Ambassadors.

I'm so excited to share this fun talk with John. He's one of the STR community's most original, creative and inspiring entrepreneurs. He'll talk about how he got started in Airbnb as a student with ‘school hacking’, how he moved back home and expanded into Arizona, how he learned heating the hard way (but made it worthwhile!), and how concierge service will be the future of STR. Every superhost will want to hear what he has to say and emulate his energy. Even though he started as a photographer and a student with debt, he made it all work at the end, thanks to his attitude. A perfect reminder that YOU are ALWAYS one experiment away.

Ryan Webster is a multifamily investor and operator. Before he began working in real estate, Ryan enjoyed the opportunity to build things and sell them off. But then he reached a turning point in his mid-life journey (a crisis, if you will); something was still missing, and that time with his family. In our path to provide and pursue excellence, it's easy to lose sight of why you are doing it in the first place. So he pivoted towards investment and managed a way to make passive income while also investing alongside other strategic partners who shared his commitment to excellence. That is how Equity Yield Group exists today.

Equity Yield Group’s aim is one of the most prominent and trusted real estate investment firms specializing in institutional grade multifamily assets. What makes them different is their groundbreaking formula. Their company provides clients with robust, calculated returns without losing sight of our ultimate goal; preserving capital. They can afford to make strategic investments without risking too much, thanks to Ryan’s diverse experience. Come listen to how it all came together. Journey with us from Ryan’s ups and downs, family life, and failures. When you hear his story you won’t ever want to give up in your respective lab, because like Ryan, you’re always just one experiment away.

“There's some different benefits for investors investing in a fund. Beyond diversification, you also kind of get the benefit of being able to kind of invest in a time machine. Because if you're coming into a fund that already has assets that were purchased with cheaper debt, uh, before rates started going wild, those deals are gonna have higher cash flow cash flow.” -Ryan Webster

Sometimes we are pulled in many directions when pursuing our goals. If you have a lot of projects on your plate, you need to find the most efficient way to work so that you can stay sane and maintain momentum. Don’t let the overwhelm break you, instead break all your goals down into manageable chunks. I mentioned a book that teaches the importance of mapping out your NEXT 15 MOVES. After all, if you want X Y Z then you have to work on A B C first.

This is where prioritization comes in handy. It helps you organize your thoughts and take action by focusing on what's important first. It can be easy to get sucked in wanting to try everything, but in the lab, you need to work effectively and efficiently. You want to be able to experiment strategically. And then come back with a solution after developing an understanding of what is required to solve the long-term goal. This is where tools like reverse engineering, accountability, and restructuring can allow you to surpass your goals as it relates to the direction you’re headed.

No matter how many steps you have to get to point Z, it won’t feel as overwhelming when your goals are mapped out because you get to be more conscious about each step. The whole point is to experiment, fail, learn and repeat; and when you do this enough times - you’ll surpass what you envisioned. Remember you’re just one experiment (at a time) away.

#accountability 

#experiment

This episode is to remind us all in our respective labs that often we are closer to our goals and dreams than we think. Most importantly it’s important for us to remember that on the other side of our goals exists a resource, person, insight, idea or piece of information that we don’t know that will help us get over the huddle. It’s important that we face this opportunity starting with WHO not HOW.

In the short term rental space, as a virtual airbnb superhost, the answer to our problems is usually just one call away. Whether it’s a plumber, contractor, manager or even a runner, the solution should never start with “I”...it should always start with ‘who.’

You can apply the same concept in your bigger experiments. To overcome the obstacle and or simply get over the otherside – in this day and age, your answer may truly be just a call away…to a mentor, paying for a consult or simply asking someone who’s been in the exact place you want to be in like some of the guests that I feature on this podcast.

So reflect and think, what is it that I am trying to accomplish and who can help? Am I just one call away or one experiment away? Chances are you might be.

The answer may not always lead you to the first major win in your lab but every question and experiment gets you closer. Remember you don't have to win all your fights; neither do you have to fight them alone, but you must fight all of your fights. So ask yourself, are you asking who?

#responsibility 

#shorttermrental 

#experiment

As short-term rental hosts, we are no stranger to mistakes. Humans make mistakes, it's normal but when they keep happening over and over again, then we're not being careful enough. Even though some mistakes may not be your fault, there is still something that you contributed to whatever happened - and ultimately, these choices are yours and yours alone to shoulder; nobody else's. Not to punish yourself or anybody, but to build on, and that’s ownership. When you deflect responsibility you are missing out on opportunities for change in the future.

When we had our new car broken into after our honeymoon, I wondered what precautions I could have taken. It also taught me that there are people in the world that understand taking ownership, and it helps if we do too. There are many different pieces involved with hosting guests remotely - so many variables and people to take responsibility for. So you’ve got to do your due diligence. In business as well- accountability is an important value, whether it be towards your work, business or dreams. It goes all the way from customer service to our ticket flight disaster, to taking ownership for your dreams. Always remember you are one experiment away from your dreams. Let’s build.

What is the difference between staying in Airbnbs vs staying at hotels? And if you stay at both, can you take some elements from both that work in both places? Typically, it's all about an experience that is convenient.

Think about who your customer is and what they're looking for. Hotels usually have a concierge that makes guests feel taken care of plus room service and valet. An Airbnb host might find ways to provide those things too - like meeting up with guests before they arrive or doing a consult session before arriving.

Using both types of accommodations can provide us insight into where we can improve upon traditional hotel offerings. If you are hosting remotely like we do, these insights will come in handy - do your guests prefer privacy or would they like to receive personalized luxury services when they check in?

When it comes down to it, privacy is one big element that elevates an Airbnb from regular accomodation to a premium product. Just remember there's always going to be tradeoffs between 'hands-on white glove' service and giving guests a lot of space. Figure out which side of the coin suits you best as an Airbnb host.

What's important here is understanding which aspects of each hospitality type you can apply to fill in those gaps so you've got everyone covered. Let's build.

Travis Smith is the Founder and CEO of Tribevest, a platform that makes it easy to invest as a group and do deals together in as little as 48 hours. He started his career with Morgan Stanley but realized the most direct path to wealth and financial freedom wasn’t as an individual. The path is as a group, as a tribe. Travis is obsessed with building a platform that standardizes, streamlines, and ultimately de-risks group investing. He won’t stop until every single deal on and off the internet is an opportunity for a multi-player experience.

Before building Tribevest, Travis was a top financial advisor at Morgan Stanley. Armed with his wealth management training, he became a thought leader in the FinTech industry focused on digital payments. He led the Strategic Alliance team at Jack Henry & Assoc., a multi-billion dollar FinTech company and core software for thousands of banks. Through these experiences, he discovered it was exponentially more fun to disrupt the reigning wealth management institutions than to be part of them. Through Tribevest, Travis seeks to empower everyday people through accessible group investing.

Travis and Tribevest have been recently featured on TechCrunch and ColumbusInno after raising $3m for Tribevest’s collaborative investing program.

Join us today and let us all learn why doing deals together as a tribe is the path to wealth and financial freedom and how Travis was able to build platforms that made group investing accessible to anyone.

Bailey is a Real Estate Investor, a young budding Entrepreneur, and a college drop-out. He started his career at just the ripe age of 20 while studying, taking calls and reservations in the middle of class. He began to ask ‘why?’ when he’s earning so much already. Bailey was one semester away from graduating college then he decided to drop out. It’s an incredible story. No one approved, especially his parents. There was so much uncertainty getting into real estate at his age, and of course a college degree naturally felt like a safer, more necessary option.

This decision ended up taking him to great success and he credits it all to networking. Bailey didn't have the knowledge, he started from scratch but with the courage to take that one step forward without any guidance, he found & created connections that got him to where is today. If it’s already difficult to network as an adult, it’s twice as difficult to do as a college drop out. But again, Bailey made it work. In this episode, Bailey tells his story on how networking is very crucial. He also shares real life proof of how he did it and everything else he’s learned and improved on since starting, from STR, to financing, to price experimentation.

This talk at the lab with Bailey will show us what networking means to him, and why it's so important. He believes that without networking, you wouldn’t have the experience or knowledge to know what you need and want with whatever industry you are in. Bailey is a living, breathing proof that networking is not only a concept but actually a necessary foundation to build great success upon. So let's get your pen and paper, listen, and let’s build y’alls network.

Heather Dreves is a fund manager that specializes in private real estate funding. She has been in the industry for over seventeen years and has raised over $300 million dollars in her time with Secured Investment Corp, for investors for dozens of different projects.  She believes in building relationships with both investors and real estate developers, which is one of the reasons her fund has grown so much over the years and she is an expert at helping property owners achieve their goals of exiting their businesses and real estate investments.

In this episode, Heather shares her insights about the industry and their unique funding plan as a company. Private funds are an alternative to public equity investing. There are many potential benefits to private fund investing, such as higher returns and lower volatility than in the public markets. Private equity firms may have an experienced management team and valuable industry expertise, but like all investments, there are some risks involved.

This is where Heather comes in. She’ll detail the ins and outs of private funding and why due diligence is so important no matter what type of funding you choose. The lab is full of great insight from industry experts and this episode is no different. Let’s build.

If you know anything about me, you know as your host (Ruben Kanya) I love experiments and one experiment that I've fallen in love within the last 2 years is the short term rental/ vacation rental industry also known as the #airbnb space.

Here's a summary of my infatuation for the short term/ vacation rental space:

1. I've interviewed over a dozen owners and operators in the #airbnb #vacationrental industry who have collectively hosted hundreds of thousand of guests and have made millions in short term rental/vacation rental income.
2. My show is sponsored by one of the biggest Short Term Rental PMS softwares in the industry @guestyforhosts
3. I am part of multiple short term rental masterminds as a constant student of the game
4. We own our own STRs here in Atlanta
5. I am a licensed short term rental realtor specialist and have a team that helps investors buy short term rentals
6. I've helped my family members buy short term rentals
7. I've helped friends buy short term rentals
8. I've helped investors sell short term rentals
9. I've co-hosted short term rentals
10. We have our own company that manages short term rentals
11. I am an airbnb superhost
12. We've received 100s of 5 star reviews hosting guests from around the world in our homes.
13. I've coached brand new hosts become super hosts
14. I have spoken as a guest speaker to multiple meetups & masterminds.

So it’s only right that I co-Author a new book with some of the most respectable hosts in the game, some of which you've already seen on our show. The book is called Hospitable Hosts and I need all my PEOPLE to go in my bio and get on the VIP waitlist for the May 16 launch.

In my chapter, you will understand what it means to me to be a hospitable host & hopefully receive the inspiration to join me in becoming one! It's changed my life & the industry has done the same for the many guests who are lucky to stay under the roof of #HospitableHosts like us.
