Good morning, afternoon, and evening, fellow real estate gladiators! Ever wondered if those sweet Airbnb profits are just a myth, or if you can actually turn a rental into a cash-flowing beast? Well, get ready, because Scott is joined by the Twin Cities' own rockstar investor, Mike Swenson! Mike's not just an amazing investor, he's a realtor-broker, a multifamily maven, and he's mastered the art of short-term rental (STR) arbitrage. We're diving deep into his journey from a foreclosed townhouse to building a robust real estate empire, including some juicy stories from the front lines of STR management. If you're looking to boost your cash flow, scale your portfolio, or just avoid cleaning up after a wild party, this episode is your golden ticket!In this episode, you'll learn:Arbitrage & Strategic Market Shift: Discover Mike's strategic pivot from Minneapolis/St. Paul's complex regulations and tenant-friendly policies to the growth potential of Southern Minnesota (hello, Mayo Clinic!). Learn how STR arbitrage became his "air game" – a brilliant way to gain experience and quick cash flow without the huge capital commitment of "slow-flip" apartment buildings.Nailing STR Profitability: The 2X Rule & Smart Due Diligence: Forget the 1% rule for traditional rentals; Mike shares how he aims for 2X the conventional rent for his short-term rentals. Get his insider tips on using tools like AirDNA for market analysis, spotting "notch above" properties (think updated kitchens & baths!), and why consistent year-round demand (near airports, attractions like the Mall of America, and business hubs) trumps seasonal "cabin country" for stable income.Landlord Hacks & Ironclad Insurance: Mike reveals his secret sauce for convincing landlords to embrace STR arbitrage – frame it as a "corporate rental" and highlight the benefits of consistent property oversight, proactive maintenance, and reliable rent. Plus, understand the crucial role of specialized landlord insurance and the necessity of your own STR policy to protect against those inevitable "hiccups" (like, say, a drug lab or a wild party!).The Unfiltered Truth of STR Operations: Cleaners, Guests & The Occasional Chaos: Prepare for the unfiltered truth about STR management! Mike breaks down the biggest operational challenges: finding and managing reliable cleaning crews (a major expense!), handling demanding guests (some expect the Four Seasons, bless their hearts!), and the constant battle against wear and tear (RIP that toilet paper holder!). Learn why banning one-night and same-day local bookings became his hard-earned golden rule to dodge party animals and less-than-desirable tenants.Scaling Smart: From Side Hustle to Empire & Your Next Steps: Mike reflects on his journey, explaining why arbitrage was his training ground and how he eyes future growth by owning STR properties for long-term appreciation or scaling into hospitality ventures. He offers crucial advice: truly understand your numbers (margins can shrink!), don't scale too fast, and always include lease clauses to protect yourself from changing STR regulations. Remember, it's not truly passive until you build the right leverage!So there you have it, folks! Mike Swenson's deep dive into the dynamic world of short-term rentals and multifamily investing proves that with strategy, resilience, and a good sense of humor, you can navigate the ups and downs of real estate. From dodging party planners to mastering landlord relations, his insights are pure gold. Ready to grab some of that cash flow for yourself and maybe even build an apartment empire? Connect with Mike and let his journey inspire your own. Go out, take some action, and let's turn those properties into cash cows (preferably without the weed smokers!).

Text us a pool question!In this powerful conclusion to the two-part episode Clear Water Can Still Kill, Natalie Hood and Dewey Case pull back the curtain on the myths that continue to plague both residential and commercial pool operations. From chlorine “smell” misconceptions to Airbnb water safety, they challenge everything we think we know about clean, safe, and healthy pool water.Dewey explains why clear doesn't always mean clean—and why that faint haze, that “smells clean” comment, or that once-a-week test schedule could spell serious trouble. Natalie takes it a step further, sharing real-world stories of visiting family pools that reeked of combined chlorine, and why that chemical sting is the ultimate red flag for poor air and water management.Together, they break down:Why public spas can be a microbiological minefield (and why Dewey won't get in them)The shocking truth about short-term pool rentals and backyard “pool sharing” appsWhy HOAs testing once a week isn't just lazy—it's dangerousThe right testing frequency for both homeowners and pool prosWhy water testing at the pool store days later is absolutely not okayHow education and continuing certification separate the pros from the pretendersAnd why a commercial pool isn't just a “big backyard pool”—it's a Ferrari compared to a FordDewey and Natalie wrap with a reality check: certification is just your driver's license. The real work is what comes after—continuous education, field experience, and doing the job right even when no one's watching.Key Quote:“Be better. Earn more.” — Dewey CaseNext Week: Natalie returns with The Grit Game's Jared Medeiros and JD “Positive Vibes” Director to tackle one of the toughest topics in pool care: leak detection.

Chris Lynch is the Co-founder and CEO of Everyday California, a La Jolla, California-based ocean adventure and lifestyle brand offering ocean adventures along with eco-friendly gear and apparel. Under Chris' leadership, Everyday California has grown from a small kayak shop into a multilocation business employing up to 100 people in peak season. The brand's apparel is sold in nearly 200 stores, including all major California airports, and featured as the top-rated experience on Airbnb in San Diego. Chris, who holds a degree in international economics from San Diego State University, founded the company during the Great Recession after a stint studying acting in Hollywood. In this episode…Starting a business on the beach might sound like a dream, but what happens when you actually make it work? Imagine turning a pickup truck, a few old wetsuits, and a grandmother's iPad into a thriving adventure brand that captures the spirit of California. How do you build something that feels authentic, sustainable, and resilient?For Chris Lynch, the answer came from seeing opportunity where others saw risk. He believes the secret to growth lies in blending passion with practicality. During the Great Recession, Chris took a failing kayak permit and transformed it into a full-fledged ocean adventure and lifestyle brand rooted in community, sustainability, and experience. From refining the fit of board shorts for over a year to scaling from one location to multiple along the coast, he emphasizes doing things the right way — even if it takes longer. His approach proves that staying committed to quality, adaptability, and financial discipline can turn a simple idea into a lasting California icon.In this episode of Truth About Social Ads, host Jason Smith is joined by Chris Lynch, Co-founder and CEO of Everyday California, to discuss how he built and scaled an experiential adventure and lifestyle brand from the ground up. They explore the early days of launching with just a kayak permit, how Everyday California balances seasonality with e-commerce growth, and why quality and storytelling drive the success of their apparel line.

When Justin Buzzi launched a clear kayak tour in Florida, his goal was to offer something memorable. What he built was one of the most highly rated kayak experiences in the country—with over 50,000 five-star reviews and 30+ franchise locations.In this episode, Justin joins Dustin Miller of Conversion Assist to unpack how they built a guest experience that keeps working long after the paddles are down. From guide training to personalized automations, they reveal the systems and strategies behind their flywheel of reviews, repeat customers, and referrals.Whether you run one tour or many, this conversation offers clear, actionable ideas for tightening operations, earning stronger reviews, and building a reputation that scales.Top 10 TakeawaysStart with experience. Build with systems. Clear kayaks got attention, but it was the systems behind the scenes—like training, hiring, and guest communication—that turned Get Up and Go Kayaking into a scalable business.Google reviews matter most. While they still collect reviews on TripAdvisor, Airbnb, and Facebook, the team prioritizes Google for its impact on search visibility and conversion. That focus shapes everything from email copy to in-person asks.Follow up with every guest, not just the booker. After each tour, automated messages go out to everyone who attended—not just the person who paid. That alone tripled their review volume in one year.Set expectations before guests arrive. Automated pre-tour texts help guests feel informed, reduce no-shows, and create a smoother arrival. That positive start lays the groundwork for better reviews.Empower guides to own the guest relationship.Top guides build connection, read the group, and ask for reviews in ways that feel natural. Some have personally earned over 2,000 five-star reviews through great service and follow-up.Automation can still feel personal. With name-based SMS, segmented follow-ups, and smart timing, Dustin's system balances efficiency with a human touch. Guests feel supported without extra strain on the team.Use your off-season to get stronger. Slow months are for updating SOPs, refreshing content, replacing gear, and optimizing tools. When the season picks up again, the whole operation runs better.Your reviews are a roadmap. Use AI to analyze common praise and complaints in your reviews. What guests love should shape your messaging. What they question should inform training or improvements.Bad reviews are a chance to show who you are. Reply quickly, stay calm, and put future guests at ease. Dustin recommends using AI to help write thoughtful, emotionally neutral responses if needed.Great reviews grow more than bookings. Consistent five-star reviews improve search rankings, boost conversion rates, and increase the long-term value of your company. It's not just a feedback loop—it's a growth engine.

He fought an extremely rare form of cancer bravely, but in the end, his heart couldn't keep up the fight anymore. He went fast with no prolonged suffering. We want to thank all of you who have kept him in prayer. Please know that those prayers were not in vain. Our son lives with Jesus now. We are now updating this campaign to reflect our financial need for his remaining hospital bills, funeral expenses, and housing for our family. For those who don't already know, we have had to evacuate our home due to a very serious mold issue. It was caused by a pipe bursting last November; our renters sent out a team to fix it, but apparently they did not do it properly and when the warm weather came earlier this year, the mold started to grow. This is what the mold report found out. It is now unlivable. Because of this, our entire family has had to live in Airbnbs for the last several weeks. We are essentially homeless. On top of that, our renters informed us that they will continue charging us rent until we can move all of our things out. Because of the mold, we have had to throw away a lot of our things, such as beds, furniture, clothes, and anything else the mold has ruined. House rent, Airbnb rentals, hospital bills, funeral expenses, many new household items, clothes, and everything else we need to keep our family of us and our four remaining children is, as you can imagine, piling on quite a bit. As most men, I do not enjoy asking for help. However, as most fathers and husbands can relate to, there isn't anything I won't do for my family. In light of that, I wanted to first ask all of you to pray for us. Also, because of the overwhelming expenses that inevitably come from all these things happening at the same time, if you feel led to help us financially, there's a couple different ways you can do that:GiveSendGo: http://www.GiveSendGo.com/NathanTheBravePayPal: http://PayPal.me/JoshPeckDisclosureOr send in your donation to:P.O.

Petit point rapide sur la plainte contre Airbnb concernant leurs locations en Cisjordanie. A quick update on the complaint against Airbnb concerning their rentals in the West Bank.Alors, de quoi il s'agit? So, what is it about?D'une action en justice lancée à Paris contre ces géants de la réservation en ligne. It's a lawsuit launched in Paris against these online booking giants.Le truc, c'est qu'ils proposent des logements dans des colonies israéliennes, en Cisjordanie, donc. The thing is, they offer accommodation in Israeli settlements, in the West Bank, therefore.Et ça, bah c'est considéré comme illégal par le droit international. And that, well, is considered illegal under international law.La Ligue des droits de l'homme et d'autres associations disent : ces plateformes listent des biens dans les territoires palestiniens occupés sans dire clairement ce qu'il en est. The Human Rights League and other associations say: these platforms list properties in the occupied Palestinian territories without clearly stating what they are.Du coup, ça pourrait non seulement tromper les voyageurs, mais aussi banaliser la situation illégale de ces colonies. As a result, it could not only mislead travelers but also normalize the illegal status of these settlements.Les plaignants espèrent créer un précédent juridique ici en France. The plaintiffs hope to set a legal precedent here in France.Une sorte de rappel, quoi. A kind of reminder, you know.Les entreprises, même les plateformes, doivent respecter le droit international humanitaire. Companies, even platforms, must respect international humanitarian law.Et ça relance tout le débat éthique. And that relaunches the whole ethical debate.Est-ce qu'une plateforme peut vraiment rester neutre si elle tire profit économiquement de zones d'occupation ou de conflit ? Can a platform truly remain neutral if it profits economically from areas of occupation or conflict? Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
USE MY 5-STEP LITMUS TEST TO SEE THE PROFITABILITY OF A POTENTIAL PROPERTY: https://strlikethebest.com/litmuspodQ4 2025 Market Update: What's Actually Working Right NowMost people think high-income professionals are buying Airbnbs for cash flow. They're wrong.In this episode, Michael and Liz reveal the real reason why employees at Meta, Amazon, Blackstone, and Goldman Sachs are aggressively buying $750K-$1.5M short-term rental properties and it has everything to do with the tax code.We break down:How to legally offset $300K+ in W2 income with a single property purchase (and why paying 40% in taxes is optional if you know what you're doing)The markets actually producing results in 2025 (Tennessee, Colorado, Pennsylvania) and which expensive Northeast markets are complete trapsA real $2M property case study where the owner is leaving $50K+ on the table annually through basic pricing mistakes (this happens more than you think)Why this only works as a long-term hold strategy, and why trying to flip your way through this will get you destroyed by the IRSThe difference between markets with "good regulation" versus those that will make your investment impossible to operateThe bottom line: If you're making $200K-$650K in W2 income, taxes are your biggest expense, bigger than your mortgage, bigger than anything else. This episode shows you exactly how to turn that expense into your biggest wealth accelerator.This is what they don't teach you in business school.LEARN MY STR INVESTING & STRATEGIES
