Podcast appearances and mentions of eric moeller

This week I talk with Eric Moeller from Freewyld – a hospitality brand featuring a boutique collection of cabins in Idyllwild, CA, but soon expanding to other nature-based locations across California! Eric took an incredibly unique approach to building Freewyld. He started with the brand first, before he ever secured a property. In most cases, we hear from hosts who found a property, and then realized it could benefit from having a brand. But Eric is a testament to the reverse. By building the brand FIRST, he was able to (almost effortlessly) attract the perfect property, the perfect investor, the perfect team, and the perfect guests. Eric's story really shows that "branding" is more than a buzzword. It's the values that turn your entire vision into reality. If you've been procrastinating brand-building as something "to cross off your to-do list", this conversation will challenge you that your brand should be the start and end of every single move your business makes.

Eric Moeller is with us!  Eric is the one of the founders and the CEO of Freewyld… which is an incredibly innovative vacation rental brand specializing in providing immersive experiences for  modern travelers.  The idea for Freewyld was born after Eric embarked on a six-month road trip during the pandemic.

Our conversation delved into the evolution of the hospitality industry and how it relates to the short-term rental space, inspired by the concept of 'unreasonable hospitality.Eric shared insights from the book "Unreasonable Hospitality" by Will Gierda, which emphasizes going above and beyond in guest experiences.This approach is not just about the service or the property, but about creating a profound human connection with guests. We discussed how this philosophy is now a core value of Free Wild, our venture, aiming to provide an exceptional hospitality experience that leaves guests in awe.We reflected on the journey of Airbnb and the short-term rental industry. Initially, the novelty of staying in unique properties was enough to captivate guests. However, as the industry has matured, there's been a shift towards creating memorable experiences, not just providing a place to stay. This evolution mirrors society's broader trends, where experiences are increasingly valued over mere transactions.Eric noted that in today's digital age, people are more aware of the possibility of exceptional stays, as seen on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. This awareness drives a demand for more than just standard accommodations. To meet this demand, we must focus on creating experiences that resonate with guests, offering them stories to share and memories to cherish.We also touched on how this philosophy could be implemented in short-term rentals, balancing the efficiency of automated systems with the personal touch of exceptional hospitality. Eric shared examples of how small, thoughtful gestures, like providing fresh water or adjusting the temperature to a guest's preference, can significantly enhance the guest experience.Finally, we discussed the future of short-term rentals and how leading with hospitality is crucial for success. The industry is shifting, with more unique, branded properties emerging, indicating a move towards prioritizing exceptional guest experiences. This shift is essential for creating sustainably successful rental businesses.In conclusion, this episode highlighted the importance of 'unreasonable hospitality' in transforming the short-term rental industry. By focusing on creating unique, memorable experiences, we can elevate the standard of hospitality and ensure guests have stories worth sharing. As we celebrate this milestone episode, we look forward to continuing these valuable discussions and exploring new ideas in future episodes.Before we wrap up today's episode, remember to connect with us on Instagram @getpaidforyourpad for exclusive content and behind-the-scenes moments, and don't forget to hit that 'Subscribe' button on our YouTube channel.

Together with my friend Eric Moeller, we are embarking on a journey to help people disconnect from the digital world, reconnect with nature, and be fully present in the moment.FreeWild is not just another ordinary short-term rental concept. It's a unique experience that allows guests to choose between two modes: "Free Mode" and "Wild Mode." In "Free Mode," guests can enjoy all the modern comforts they're used to, with fast internet, streaming services, and full connectivity. But the magic truly happens when you decide to switch to "Wild Mode."In "Wild Mode," we encourage you to put away your devices and embrace the natural surroundings. Our properties are strategically located near beautiful nature spots, such as mountains, lakes, and beaches, offering the perfect backdrop for reconnecting with nature and yourself. During this mode, you'll discover a world of offline experiences, from old-fashioned board games and vinyl records to treasure maps that lead you to explore the area.The inspiration behind FreeWild came from our own experiences during the COVID pandemic. It was a challenging time when we felt the need to find balance between staying connected and taking a break from technology. After going through our own journeys of self-discovery and reconnection, we realized that there's a demand for such experiences. That's when FreeWild was born, a place where you can escape the digital noise and immerse yourself in the beauty of the world around you.We want FreeWild to be more than just a short-term rental concept. It's a movement, a lifestyle, and a community of like-minded individuals who value being in the moment and finding joy in nature. Through our Instagram page @freewild, we will keep you updated on our progress, share stories, and inspire you to incorporate "Wild Mode" moments into your daily life.Our vision is to expand FreeWild globally, touching the lives of millions of people who long for a genuine disconnection from the virtual world. By embracing Wild Mode, we hope to create more meaningful experiences, deeper connections with loved ones, and a greater appreciation for the natural wonders that surround us. Hosted on Acast.

You've seen them all over Instagram… You may have also seen them in Dwell Magazine…. And if you love design, travel, and hospitality, chances are you've even dreamed about what it would be like to build your very own A-Frames, Cabins, or Barnhouse with their designs.

By the age of 19, Eric had already purchased his first property and since then, he has renovated and sold hundreds of properties throughout New Jersey, South California and is rapidly expanding to other markets. But Eric's true mission is to educate and teach other hosts how to run a successful short-term rental business. He is the founder and host of the Airbnb Mastery Summit where he personally interviews top experts on Airbnb, short-term rentals and real estate from all around the world.

Awesome dude, Stephen Turner, pulled together an acoustic show in his garage this past weekend, so we decided to cover it and podcast live. We talk to each performer - Josh Penn, Eric Moeller, Lew Naeger, Dan Johanning, and Dan Kelley and Joe Maestas. Yours truly, Wes Hoffman, plays a song as well, and we chatted with Stephen himself too. It was a great day of friendship and music. Stephen shares a bit more about an idea for keeping these types of shows going too!

If the year were so far an Olympics, today would be the final ceremony. But we’re just at the beginning of a new era in Virginia with a new Governor who has demonstrated a different approach than the previous one. These words are being sent out just as another winter storm rolls through. So, this rare Sunday edition of Charlottesville Community Engagement is being crafted to capture this moment when we don’t quite know what will happen, but there are signs. I’m your host, Sean Tubbs.The newsletter and podcast is free, so sign up to make sure it shows up in your inbox! On today’s show: Albemarle and the region prepare for another winter storm Governor Glenn Youngkin is sworn in and signs eleven executive orders, including a withdrawal to pull out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and a revocation of statewide mask mandatesThe Piedmont Housing Alliance breaks ground on the development of Friendship Court after many yearsFirst subscriber-supported shout-outMonday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society invites you to hear from their newest board member at a meeting beginning at 7 p.m. Gayle Jessup White is the first Public Relations and Community Engagement Officer for Monticello and the first descendant of Thomas Jefferson and the enslaved community to work for the Thomas Jefferson Foundation.

Sign up now at albemarlehistory.org. Albemarle County EmergencyAlbemarle County has declared a local emergency in advance of today’s winter storm in order to help coordinate services in the event that it is disruptive. “It has the potential to cause downed trees, widespread power outages, and hazardous travel conditions,” reads the disaster declaration issued by County Executive Jeffrey Richardson.Dan Eggleston is the chief of Albemarle Fire Rescue and he said his staff has been watching the weather forecasts. “We have been engaged with the state resources as well as local utilities and others to help understand the potential impact that this storm may have on county residents,” Eggleston said. Former Governor Ralph Northam issued a declaration of emergency on Friday. Eggleston said the forecast became more clear as of Saturday morning and that the threat of further power outages loomed. There could be a lot of wet snow and ice, prompting County Executive Jeffrey Richardson to make the declaration. “Basically what this does is allows us to implement our emergency operations plan and activate any contracts we might have to solicit resources including a clear channel to the state should we  need any additional resources beyond our local capacity,” Eggleston said. If you need resources, or want to know what they may be before a power outage affects you, visit communityemergency.org. The Virginia Department of Transportation is asking people to stay home on Sunday due to potential blizzard conditions. “The current forecast indicates this event will drop significant snow, followed by freezing rain and ice in many areas, targeting the central region of Virginia and areas along the Interstate 81 corridor with the most extreme conditions,” reads a press release. VDOT urges anyone who does travel today to carry an emergency winter weather kit including food, water, blankets, and other tools needed if you are stranded. Albemarle fatalityAlbemarle County has also reported the death of a driver in a single-vehicle crash yesterday morning in the 4100 block of Free Union Road. This is the first traffic fatality of the year in Albemarle. Youngkin sworn in as Virginia’s 74th Governor signs 11 executive actions Soon after being sworn in, Governor Glenn Youngkin got to work with a series of executive orders to undo many key policies of the last administration and General Assembly. It was, in fact, Day One of his administration, and many of the directives are intended to comb through Virginia’s policy to remove that which the Governor finds offensive.“Well, it’s Day One, and we’ve had a great morning and as we head into the afternoon, it’s time to get to work,” Youngkin said.  Youngkin made a point of gathering in a working office in the Governor’s mansion that hasn’t been used in two years. To his right, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears. To his left, Secretary of the Commonwealth Kay Coles James. No one in the picture wears a mask. “These executive actions combined with the 59 bills that are being carried in our legislature right now by Delegates and Senators and 25 budget amendments comprise the actions necessary to put our Day One game plan into motion,” Youngkin said. The first bans “the use of inherently divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory” and states that “political indoctrination has no place in our classroom.” Specifically, the order directs the Superintendent of Public Instruction to end all policies that promote “inherently divisive concepts” and remove “those that promote or endorse divisive or inherently racist concepts.” Youngkin didn’t elaborate much on this one but did welcome the person who will oversee some of the education changes. “I’m particularly excited to be joined by our Secretary of Education designee, Aimee Guidera,” Youngkin said This order singles out programs by name, such as the Department of Education’s Cultural Competency Training Program, EdEquityVA, and the Virginia Math Pathways Initiative. (read the full text)A change in pandemic policyThree of the actions relate to the pandemic. Executive Directive Two rescinds a mandate that state employees get vaccinated against COVID. Youngkin said it is a matter of individual rights. “No executive branch employees shall be required to be vaccinated or required to disclose their vaccination status as a condition of their employment,” Youngkin said. “Let me be clear. I continue to be an absolutely staunch advocate for the vaccine. I’ve gotten the vaccine. I’ve gotten the booster. Suzanne has gotten the vaccine and gotten the booster. I believe it is the best way to keep your family safe. But we also believe individual liberty counts and matters and therefore rather than mandate we’re going to work to educate.” Executive Order Two ends Virginia’s requirement that children in public school be masked. This one points out what it calls outdated information in the August 12, 2021 order and states that the Omicron variant causes less severe than the Delta variant. (read the full text)Executive Order Six orders the Virginia Safety and Health Codes Board to conduct an emergency meeting to decide if a Virginia Department of Labor and Industry COVID standard should be eliminated.(take a look at the standard)“Most succinctly I can say this executive order keeps Virginia open for business,” Youngkin said. “We’ll remove burdensome COVID-19 regulations.”Executive Order Nine seeks the re-evaluation of Virginia’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and to begin undoing the regulations embedded in executive branch agencies such as the Department of Environmental Quality. “The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative as I’ve said before is nothing more than a carbon tax, a carbon tax that raises the utility bills of all Virginians,” Youngkin said. Youngkin thanked Andrew Wheeler for being willing to serve as Secretary of Natural and Historic Resources, a position where he will oversee the dismantling of RGGI. There are also several bills filed to accomplish many of the changes to state law. The order also states that RGGI be notified of the administration’s intent to withdraw.

Friendship Court groundbreakingAfter years of planning, the Piedmont Housing Alliance has broken ground on the multi-phase redevelopment of Friendship Court. Phase One will be built on the open space portion of the existing 150-unit residential complex. Sunshine Mathon is the executive director of the Piedmont Housing Alliance. “For over 40 years, Friendship Court, also known to many as Garret Square has been home to over hundreds of families,” Mathon said. “For some, it was a short time. For others, it is all they have known. For some, it has been a place of solace and respite during difficult times. For others it has reflected the pain of broader racial and social injustices, and families caught in the unrelenting gears of generational poverty.” Before Friendship Court, the land had been a predominantly Black neighborhood and was razed during what’s known as the Garret Street urban renewal. Planning for what would replace Friendship Court has been underway for many years. Piedmont Housing Alliance has been involved since before Mathon joined the agency four and a half years ago. “When I arrived in Charlottesville I knew little of this history and as an outsider and as a white man, I have had to listen and I have had to come to learn that we cannot turn our gaze to the future to explore what’s possible whether here at Friendship Court or in the region more broadly without truly knowing the weight of the past,” Mathon said. A site plan for the four phases at Friendship Court has been developed by the Timmons Group, and this calls for a range between 350 to 500 units on the 11.758 acres with up to 60,000 square feet for commercial, business, or assembly space. This site plan also shows a road network that eventually will become public streets. Mathon said that work has been overseen by a committee of current residents. “They have participated in deep community outreach,” Mathon said. “They have chosen architects and contractors, they have taken field trips to other cities to explore what has been done elsewhere and they have worked and reworked and reworked and reworked a plan for redevelopment aimed directly at redressing root causes such as systemic inequity.” Charlottesville City Council has approved millions of funds in contributions to the project’s financing including a $5.5 million forgivable loan approved by Council in October 2020. (read a story from then)“So much of what is pushed in front of our faces on City Council is five-star hotels, the University, fancy restaurants, business development, and that’s all fine enough but it’s this what makes Charlottesville a great community,” said City Councilor Michael Payne. “To have residents who are taking self-control of their future in building with our community their future.” You can watch the ground-breaking in a link in the newsletter.

Camp Albemarle seeks support for a plan to winterize the Hamner Lodge, a structure built in 1941 by the CCC and used by every 4th and 5th grade student in Charlottesville and Albemarle for the study ecology for over 20 years. If this campaign is successful, Camp Albemarle could operate year-round.

Downed tree branches due to heavy snow have knocked out power lines. As of 9 a.m. this morning, Dominion Energy reported 21,152 customers without power in Albemarle and 4,619 customers in Charlottesville. Nearly all customers in Louisa remained without power as the sun rose. Around two-thirds of Fluvanna customers were without power. Consult their outage map for updated information. The storm canceled the meetings of both the Louisa County Board of Supervisors and the Charlottesville City Council. Louisa will meet tonight beginning at 5 p.m. to select a chair and vice chair before going into closed session. The new City Council will meet tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. to go into closed session before an open session scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Trash service in the city of Charlottesville was delayed yesterday and has been canceled for today. That will mean a two-day delay for city residents beginning tomorrow when Monday’s service will resume. The service week will conclude on Sunday. Learn more in this release.Elsewhere in Virginia, I-95 south of D.C. remains close at publication with reports of thousands of stranded drivers. That includes Senator Tim Kaine. Pandemic update: FDA approved Pfizer booster for 12+The omicron surge continues in Virginia with the Virginia Department of Health reporting another 15,449 new cases and the percent positivity statewide has now increased to 29.9 percent. The percent positivity in the Blue Ridge Health District is at 22.8 percent and there are 326 new cases. District officials will hold a virtual town hall meeting tonight beginning at 7 p.m. and the main topic is local guidance on new CDC rules related to quarantine and isolation following a diagnosis. (meeting info)On Monday, the Food and Drug Administration expanded the use of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine in three ways. Individuals between the age of 12 and 15 will soon be able to get a single booster dose. They’ve also allowed a shortening of the time between completing the first two doses and the booster to a minimum of five months. Thirdly, children between five and 11 with certain immunocompromised conditions will also be able for a third shot of the primary series. According to a press release, the FDA analyzed data from Israel where the booster has been authorized for those between 12 and 15. They argue the data shows the benefits of protection from new variants outweighs the potential risks. Virginia Mortgage Relief If you or someone you know is having trouble paying your mortgage, the Commonwealth of Virginia has a new relief program. Applications are now open for the program, which follows on the heels of the Virginia Rent Relief Program. “The Commonwealth has implemented rent and mortgage relief programs through designated state and federal resources,” reads a press release from outgoing Governor Ralph Northam. “Combined, these programs have provided more than $519.5 million in 106,621 rent relief payments for more than 76,500 households across Virginia.”The funding source for the new program comes from the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Homeowner’s Assistance Fund. To be eligible, households need to demonstrate a reduction of income after January of 2020.

Yesterday he names a chief of staff and other top positions. Richard Cullen will serve as Counselor, Jeff Goettman will serve as Chief of Staff, and Rebecca Glover will be Assistant Chief of Staff and Communications Director. Eric Moeller will be the Chief Transformation Officer. Cullen is a senior partner at the law firm McGuireWoods who served as Attorney General in 1997.

Crenshaw is a former marine who is currently the president of Claxton Logistics Services. Dan Gade will be the Commissioner of the Department of Veterans Services. Gade is a veteran of the second Iraq War who lost his right leg in 2005. He is the co-founder of The Independence Project and was also the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in the 2020 race won by Senator Mark Warner. More 2022 General Assembly bills  Eight days to go until the 2022 General Assembly begins, and volume of pre–filed bills is still low enough to report. Once the session begins, action moves fast. Senator John Cosgrove (R-Chesapeake) filed a bill requiring the state Registrar to amend death certificates within 30 days if there is new evidence and information. (SB55)Senator Barbara Favola (D-Arlington) filed legislation to establish a Foster Care Prevention program intended to encourage children to be placed with relatives. (SB56)Senator Favola has another bill that would establish the School Health Services Committee to provide guidance on any proposals that might require local school boards to provide health services. (SB62)Senator Mamie Locke (D-Hampton) filed a bill to amend the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act to exempt gift tickets or admission fees if the responsible person is using them to perform official duties. (SB57)Delegate Ronnie Campbell (R-24) wants to add zoos to the list of entities from which animals can be seized if they are being treated cruelly. (HB53)Incoming Delegate Karen Greenhalgh (R-85) would require absentee ballots to sorted by precinct. (HB54)Greenhalgh also submitted a bill to require the State Registrar of Vital Records to transmit a list of recent deaths to the Department of Elections on a weekly basis for the purpose of taking the deceased off the voter rolls. Currently they must do so monthly. (HB55)Delegate Bill Wiley (R-29) filed a bill to provide enhanced retirement benefits for juvenile detention specialists. (HB56)Incoming Delegate Tim Anderson (R-83) would limit the power of a governor’s declaration of emergency to 45 days without General Assembly approval. (HB57)Delegate Glenn Davis (R-84) has a bill that would prevent localities from placing minimum wage and benefit requirements when procuring services from contractors. (HB58)Delegate John McGuire (R-56) would require school principals to notify law enforcement of any acts that could be construed as a misdemeanor. (HB59)McGuire has another bill seeking permission for the Town of Louisa to appoint five to seven members to an economic development authority. Currently the code specifies seven. (HB60)McGuire has another bill that would allow individuals who work as both an employee and a volunteer for a public entity to be able to earn overtime for the employment portion of their service. (HB61)Senator Travis Hackworth (R-38) filed a bill to require the chief of police of a dissolved department to relinquish records to the sheriff of that locality. Seems specific. (SB59)Hackworth has another bill that would move the deadline for political subdivisions to provide information on emergency sheltering capacity to the State Coordinator of Emergency Management from May to August. (SB60)Hackworth also filed legislation to allow judges, law-enforcement officers, attorneys, and judges to carry concealed weapons in areas where they may otherwise be prohibited. (SB61)Distilleries would be allowed to sell products directly to consumers via the Internet if a bill from Senator Frank Ruff (R-15) becomes law. (SB65)Today’s second subscriber-supported public service announcement: The Charlottesville Jazz Society at cvillejazz.org is dedicated to the promotion, preservation, and perpetuation of all that  jazz, and there’s no time like now to find a time to get out and watch people love to play. The Charlottesville Jazz Society keeps a running list of what’s coming up at cvillejazz.org. This Thursday, the Charles Owens Trio will play Potter’s Craft Cider and on Saturday the Eric Franzen Trio plays at Early Mountain Vineyards. Sign up today to see the rest!Further delays for Smith Aquatic CenterJanuary 3 had been the expected reopening day for the Smith Aquatic and Fitness Center in Charlottesville, but further repair is needed for the facility which opened in 2010. However, a release that went out this morning now states that Smith will remain closed until a “spring 2022 reopening.”Smith has been plagued with ventilation issues since soon after it opened. According to a 2015 Daily Progress article, the facility closed for several weeks in 2015 for installation of new exhaust systems. The pool closed again in April 2019 for repairs and was slated to be closed in the spring of 2020 for a $1.8 million repair that has not yet been completed. Crow Indoor Pool is open. ARB seeks smaller scale for Crozet self-storage facilityThe winter storm yesterday ended up canceling all three of the government meetings scheduled including the Albemarle Architectural Review Board. That group last met on December 20 when they weighed in on a self-storage facility proposed for the intersection of U.S. 250 and Crozet Avenue. Margaret Maliszewski is a planning manager who works with the ARB. (watch the meeting)“The proposed building is three stories tall with a 30,000 square foot footprint,” Maliszewski said. “The building as shown on the plan measures 260 feet by 120 feet.”Staff is concerned about the size of the building in relation to what’s around it. Maliszewski said the developer submitted a design with architectural treatments intended to break down the design, but continued to have concerns with the preliminary design. The property is zoned for highway commercial, so the use is allowed but must comply with entrance corridor guidelines. Doug Bates, a member of the Downtown Crozet Initiative and the Crozet Community Advisory Committee. During public comment, he said the project is not consistent with a Crozet Master Plan that seeks to build larger structures closer to downtown and now on U.S. 250.“I can’t think of a more important corridor to deal with Crozet and I would urge this Architectural Review Board to consider your broader responsibilities to keep the community coherent,” Bates said. Another member of the public urged the county to deny the whole proposal. “I think we’re giving too much importance to by-right and not enough to what really needs to go there,” said Brenda Plantz. “It’s a Scenic Highway.” However, Virginia law is clear that property owners are entitled to uses laid out in the zoning code as explained by ARB Chair Dade Van Der Werf. “I think I can speak on behalf of the board to say we certainly appreciate and share the appreciation that this is a significant intersection on these entrance corridors and I think our charge on the ARB aligns with the desire for coherence in the order of the county,” van der Werf said. “We are not empowered to affect zoning or use. That’s kind of the responsibility of the Planning and other commissions.”However, ARB members did express concerns such as this one from Frank Stoner.“I took struggle with the scale of this building,” Stoner said. “It’s very close to the intersection. If there was a way to push it back on the site and make it sort of an ancillary use to something more appropriate that was on the corner, I think I could be supportive.” ARB member Fred Missel also wanted to look very closely to see how the entrance corridor guidelines could be applied at this location.“In my opinion, this project is precisely an example of what the guidelines are designed to help us guard against,” Missel said. “I think we have to not only take our guidelines seriously but also ask the applicant to spend some significant amount of time looking through our guidelines, really understanding them, reflecting on them, and addressing them both visually and also narratively  the next time we speak if its in a work session which I think is probably smart.” Missel said the ARB cannot comment on the use but said the scale is incompatible with the county’s guidelines. The ARB voted 4-0 on a resolution stating their lack of support with one member recusing himself. Recommendations including trying to make the building seem more like a two-story building and looking at other buildings along the corridor to find compatibility. Support the program!Special announcement of a continuing promo with Ting!

This week on Insider we're joined by Eric Moeller, Director of Product Marketing at Sage. Eric discusses his journey into product marketing, what he loves about the role, how his career progressed, his top three skills that have helped him get where he is today, top tips for aspiring PMMs, and more. --- "When you think about how you can develop your skill set, sure, you can take a course, you can read a book, you can get a mentor, you could create your own mastermind group of other product marketers and maybe you can create a small group of people across different businesses where you share stuff, and you can get feedback. But being really open to feedback is really important. It's a very difficult thing to do but it's also one of the most beneficial things that you can do professionally."

Housing seems more expensive right now, but is it? Jason Hartman shares the analysis of home prices when discussing payment, inflation, and historically low-interest rates. Obviously, 2020 was a rough ride for most businesses, particularly those included in the travel industry. Eric Moeller, CEO & Co-Founder of STR Legends, gives us a peek into his business through 2020 in the Short Term Rental market. STRs aren't just about the real estate business but also hospitality. Airbnb made some massive decisions to cater to the guests' needs and not so much their partners in business, the hosts. These hospitality decisions shifted how STRs had to operate to maintain high occupancy.

Travel has changed in the season of COVID-19. Short-term rental (STR) guests are looking for a ‘home instead of home’ that they can drive to. Most are looking to escape the city and enjoy nature. And many plan to stay for an extended period and work from the property. So, how can we capitalize on this new guest persona and market specifically to the work-from-home traveler?Eric Moeller is my partner in crime at STR Profit Academy, a educational platform for vacation rental hosts, and the STR Legends Mastermind, a community of the leaders, visionaries and innovators in the STR industry. He is also the founder and host of the Airbnb Mastery Summit, an exclusive virtual event featuring premiere STR hosts and real estate experts from around the world.On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, Eric joins me to explain what he is looking for in a STR as a work-from-home traveler and share what he learned from looking through 100+ listings on Airbnb. He walks us through his process for finding world-class properties for business travel, challenging hosts to do regular internet speed tests and offer discounts for extended stays. Listen in for Eric’s insight on upgrading your STR to a proper coworking space and learn how to market your listing to attract the work-from-home traveler.Topics CoveredWhat Eric learned from looking at 100+ Airbnb listingsDecision-making different for work-from-home travelerLack of marketing to attract this new personaThe elements of a listing most important to work-from-home travelersStrong internet (25 Mbps minimum)Space set up for coworkingWhat STR hosts can do to market to the work-from-home travelerAdd screen shot of internet speed test to photosGet approved as workplace on AirbnbAdvertise parking space or explain where to parkOffer discounts for extended staysBe hands-on to address guest’s individual needsHow to leave clues in your Airbnb listing re: how to contact directlyCopy and paste guest review that mentions brand namePromote social media, e.g.: check us out on InstagramEric’s process for finding world-class properties for business travelSearch filters for Wi-Fi, 2BR and traveling for workNarrow down with parameters for location and priceImagine working from property through photosHow to turn your Airbnb listing into a proper coworking spaceProvide smartphone and computer chargersConsider adding printer to workstationConnect with EricAirbnb Mastery SummitSTR Profit AcademySTR LegendsSTR Legends on InstagramEric on InstagramResourcesVacasa Vacation RentalsThe Hideaway on AirbnbSpeedtestPhillipe Thibodeau on GPFYP EP344Get Paid for Your Pad on YouTubeEmail jasper@getpaidforyourpad.com or support@strlegends.comSponsorHostfully See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Eric D. Moeller is the co-founder of STR Legends (Short-Term Rental Legends), a mastermind group dedicated to allowing short-term rental investors to come together to learn and network. Born and raised to a blue-collar family in New Jersey, Eric got his first taste of real estate investing at the early age of seventeen when he was mentored by a local investor. She taught him the ins and outs of real estate investing and by the age of nineteen Eric had purchased his first property. Over the years Eric went on to purchase, renovate and sell hundreds of homes throughout New Jersey. In 2016, Eric made the move to sunny San Diego to launch Homtel, an Airbnb co-hosting, leasing, and investment company that specializes in hosting the most unique homes in the most unique parts of the world. He was quickly named a super host and is currently managing listings throughout southern California and is quickly expanding into new markets. Eric's passions are in Muay Thai, travel (while staying in Airbnbs, of course), and helping teach and mentor other entrepreneurs in Real Estate, Airbnb, and business. Eric is a certified Hypnotherapist and is a certified practitioner of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP). What you'll learn about in this episode: Why Eric chose to leave the single-family home and apartment building investing niche to pursue AirBNB and short-term rentals How Eric's model leverages investors' properties with minimal investment, and how his short-term rental model on Airbnb works How Eric and his team approach property owners with two different offers, one tailored for risk-averse owners and the other offering higher returns Why rapidly changing short-term rental laws all over the world mean it is important to research your local laws before getting started Why Airbnb rentals work in any real estate market where hotels are found, not just in “vacation destinations” Why the vast majority of the work involved in short-term rentals is outsourced and managed through technology What kind of upfront costs you can expect to spend initially furnishing a short-term property rental What formula Eric and his team use to determine the anticipated profitability of a leased property How technology like keypad locks and camera streams allow Eric and his team to run short-term rental properties anywhere in the world Additional resources: Website: www.TheMentorPodcast.com/Summit Website: www.strlegends.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/ericdmoeller/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/short-term-rental-legends/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/ericdmoeller22 Facebook: www.facebook.com/strlegends/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/strlegends/

Nathaniel Schooler 0:09 Well, it's really great that you managed to make the time to join me. And I am very interested in learning a bit about product marketing, because I know that's your specialty. And obviously writing as well, because I know you've been doing a lot of writing over the years. So to anyone that doesn't know, this is Eric Moeller. I'm probably pronouncing that the English way. But you work over at Sage, right, and you are head of marketing for, for some piece of tech that I know nothing about at all. So I'll kind of let you let you carry on really, and just explain a little bit about that, if you don't mind. Eric Moeller 1:00 Sure. First of all, thanks for having me here Nat. And happy to join you and have a conversation about this. Yeah, so I've been at Sage for just over two years that I'm responsible for a specific product line. So it's called Sage 200 Cloud, it's a product that is sold in 15 plus countries around the world. The way that product marketing is set up at Sage is that there actually are global leaders for all the different product lines, so it's like having a CEO overlooking all the different facets of marketing for the individual products. Okay, so I work with product marketers, and all the different regions where my product is sold. And really the role of Product Marketing at Sage, the way I would say, it's the way that's defined is, like I said, sort of the CEO of the different facets of the marketing. So you're looking at everything from the different campaigns that we're developing at a global level, and how those can be used at the regional level, the pricing, monitoring the performance of the product, how it's selling now, how we expect thing this, you know, sales to pick up over the next 12 to 24 months, then I'll see and looking further into the future in terms of what is it from a market requirements perspective? What is it that the market needs? Going to the future is that the same product? Is it something different? You know, where do we need to go from a strategy perspective? So it's actually quite an exciting role. There's so many different things that you get involved with, it can also be tiring, because you're thinking, Oh, man, there's so many different balls in the air and so many different things to keep track of. But really, that's that is a challenge, but it's also the exciting facet of the role as well. Nathaniel Schooler 2:28 Right, right. So how many languages? Do you sort of responsible for that, Eric? Is it a lot of different ones? Or is it just English or what? Eric Moeller 2:38 So the product is localized into a number of different markets. And again, for people that don't have a lot of experience with software localization. Localization refers to both the languages that the product is translated into, as well as whatever the local requirements are. So I just wanted to highlight that for people listening, that is not just the language, it's both what might be unique. So for example, when you think about compliance requirements, different governmental requirements, that would vary by country, and obviously,

Maybe you’ve heard that most wealthy people got their wealth through real estate. But, most people think that real estate is too far out of reach. How can you make money in real estate when you don’t have any money to begin with? Our guest is Eric Moeller. Eric owns a business that makes money from Airbnbs and other short term vacation rentals. But here’s the cool part - he doesn’t own the properties. He partners with the owners. This means he never needs to raise cash or borrow from banks to get into the real estate game. It’s a cool hack that he probably ought to keep on the down low. But, we got him to share his secrets on this episode.

In today’s episode, Eric Moeller joins Brian to talk about Airbnb for real estate investors. As a newer option for investors, Airbnb provides new opportunities for short-term rentals. In this episode, Eric talks about how he got started in real estate, how he learned about Airbnb, and what his company is doing now to help investors use Airbnb to grow their tool belts and their income.   Key Takeaways:   [1:30] Airbnb has brought some new opportunities to the real estate investing industry. It allows investors to repurpose their investments and leverage other people’s property, as opposed to leveraging other people’s money. [4:20] From an early age, Erick was enamored with real estate. One of his first properties on his own was a vacation rental. [10:11] Being fully immersed in the educational part of real estate investing is what kept him going as a young real estate investor. One of the things that made him successful as a new investor was full immersion in real estate - he read books, went to meetings, and took action. [15:03] When Eric first acquired his vacation rental, it was a way to create passive income without having to go through some of the hardships of property investing. After he got into it, he realized that he could bring investors to the Jersey Shore to buy properties and help them run their vacation rentals. [19:00] When the market crashed, Eric started getting into short-term rentals. They would find people who were upside down on their mortgage, secure a contract, and then negotiate with the bank. [24:15] At the end of every diversity, there is beauty. No matter where the stress is coming from, there is beauty when you finally get to the other side. These were values instilled in Eric from his father, and how he has been able to maintain success in real estate. When he was backed against the wall, he always found a way to push through. [25:30] When he was living on the East Coast, he and his team specialized in buying the worst properties in New Jersey and completely tearing them down and building them back up. Within one week, two of his projects fell through in major ways. He took a break traveling the country to visit masterminds, staying at Airbnbs. [29:10] When he was talking to one of the hosts of the mastermind, he realized that there was a business model associated with Airbnb. He started his company by renting out other people’s property, staging them, and then putting them on Airbnb. [30:45] One of the biggest initial challenges was education around the Airbnb investment. At the time Eric got started, there weren’t any experts doing this, so they were all sort of learning at the same time. He also had to educate the owners of the properties about Airbnb. [34:00] Airbnb acts as the connector between the host and the traveler. They do marketing, connecting the guest with the correct host, and they manage the money and pay it out. The part of the investor is to develop a hospitality business; this includes the entire guest experience. [37:10] Eric helps real estate investors who see Airbnb as an additional tool to their tool belt, and he also has the education aspect where he teaches people how to get started in the Airbnb hospitality business. As an additional tool in the tool belt, focusing on Airbnb opens up opportunities to pay more money on properties, because now your monthly income is twice or three times more than the typical monthly income amount. [41:20] The beauty of Airbnb is that it brings short-term rentals to the urban areas all around the world. It doesn’t have to be a destination location. It’s about creating a unique experience inside the Airbnb. [44:50] There needs to be a reason for your guests to travel to your property. Being close to attractions helps you be more successful with your Airbnb. If you’re not near something that will attract guests, Eric’s advice is to go above and beyond on the experience to attract guests. [47:20] The way we share our homes and the way we travel is relatively generational. There are usually three types of travelers when it comes to Airbnb: family stays, nomad travelers looking for the unique experience, and then business travelers. Hosts range from all types of real estate investors, but especially members of the Baby Boomer generation. [50:00] Currently, Eric lives in the Epic Entrepreneur House in San Diego. He essentially lives with his board of advisors, living with other entrepreneurs. It’s all about how to take your life to a 10. These are popping up across the country.   Mentioned in This Episode: Meetings Daily REIA Show REI Facebook Page Brian’s Book Watch this Episode Homtel Live Training Facebook

Maybe you’re thinking about expanding your business to include an additional property, but you don’t have a ton of capital lying around. Is there any way to scale your Airbnb venture with a modest investment of, say, $10,000 or less? The answer is heck yes, and today’s guest shares how he is re-leasing rental properties via Airbnb, incorporating short-term rentals into his real estate business.With the help of a mentor, Eric Moeller started investing in real estate at the tender age of 18. Eric has a wealth of experience in house flipping, apartment buildings and real estate development, and he worked from the traditional landlord model until he sold his company in 2015. As Eric traveled the US that year – making use of Airbnb as a guest – he began to realize the investment potential of hosting. After looking at the numbers, he determined that he could double his ROI by pursuing short- rather than long-term rentals, and he developed a strategy for pitching a re-lease model to rental property landlords.In 2016, Eric moved to San Diego and originated the startup Homtel Tonight, an Airbnb management, leasing and investment company.
