Do you like passionate discussions about different opinions in our industry? Well, do we have an episode for you! In this BONUS episode, Wil Slickers moderates a live discussion between industry names like Amy Hinote, Steve Milo, Matt Landau, Mike Sjogren, and Eric Moeller. This discussion was inspired by a LinkedIn thread/post from Jessica Singer who was reflecting on the two segments of our industry. The Short-Term Rental segment and the Vacation Rental segment. What's the difference? To many, the difference is geographic locations like urban vs destination markets. But it goes deeper than that and we try to dive into this more and more throughout the conversation. Do you have thoughts you'd like to have heard? Want to join this conversation? Send us your thoughts via email at info@hospitality.fm and make sure the subject line says "Let's Talk" for a chance to be part of this conversation once we go for round two!

Mike Sjogren is not your typical investor, but he fell into it after a heartbreaking medical challenge. As Mike says, “things were pretty good…I was married, had a decent house in the burbs, a couple of cars in the driveway, and then everything changed…” His son was born with a very rare lung disease. He ran out of vacation time, he ran out of sick time, so he had to leave his wife in the hospital to care for his son while he ‘traded time for money' and went back to his job. He promised his wife that he would create a business so they would have all the money they needed and he would never need to trade time for money again. Real estate and short term rentals did that for Mike. Can it for you?THIS podcast is for you if you are tired of trading time for money, want more freedom to travel or just take care of your family, perhaps short term rentals or arbitrage are for you!WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:How a medical emergency made him realize his 9-5 was not the long term answer to financial and personal freedomHow real estate came into focus for him as a viable careerHow mentoring gave him laser focus to growHow some of his mentors were doing short term rentals and why he chose thatHow he scaled his portfolioWhy ‘No' wasn't an answer he wanted but heard a lotHow he refined his sales pitchThe value of building a great contact listThe difference between short term rentals and arbitrageHow he gave his investors a 60% return on investment with little to no risk to themAnd MUCH more!BioMike Sjogren - Michael is a short-term rental expert and coach.

Mike Sjogren created an Airbnb Empire and has helped many others do the same, but his journey there was not all rainbows and butterflies. Mike battled alcoholism at a young age and dealt with his son having a potentially life-ending condition that defined his faith and set him on a path of independence, financial freedom, and fulfillment. Michael is the host of the Short Term Rental Secrets Podcast and founder of the Short Term Rental Secrets Mastermind, a training and mastermind program that helps investors launch, automate and scale their short-term rental portfolios. Michael and his wife Krysten founded Occupied, a national short-term rental investment and management company, in 2017, as a vehicle to build passive income so they could stop trading away time from family for a paycheck. That vision came to fruition within 18 months when their short-term rental portfolio replaced their income, and Krysten and Michael left their corporate jobs. They are based out of Boston, MA and currently have a portfolio of 44 short-term rental properties across five states, including two boutique hotels on Boston's north shore.Find Mike at: www.STRsecrets.comInstagram - @the_airbnbguyShort Term Rental Secret Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/short-term-rental-secrets-podcast/id1517624469Cool things we talked about:Think and Grow Rich Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/think-and-grow-rich/id1493269333The Tony Robbins Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-tony-robbins-podcast/id1098413063The Oura Ring:https://ouraring.com/Athletic Greens:https://fbuy.io/ag/aa5ea2nyTo learn more, visit:https://www.theleaderslab.co/.Listen to more episodes on Mission Matters:https://missionmatters.com/author/ken-eslick/

Michael is the host of the Short Term Rental Secrets Podcast and founder of the Short Term Rental Secrets Mastermind, a training and mastermind program that helps investors launch, automate and scale their short term rental portfolios. Michael and his wife Krysten founded Occupied, LLC, a national short-term rental investment and management company in 2017, as a vehicle to build passive income so they could stop trading away time from family for a paycheck. That vision came to fruition within 18 months when their short term rental portfolio replaced their income and Krysten and Michael both left their corporate jobs. They are based out of Boston, MA and currently have a portfolio of 41 short-term rental properties across four states including 2 boutique hotels on Boston's north shore. In this episode Mike shares his story with us about how having a sick child encouraged him to get into short-term rentals to create a way to generate more passive income. He talks about why it makes more sense to self-manage with the right team versus using a 3rd party management company. Mike also talks about the risks, how to maximize revenue, how to maximize your average daily rate, how to build a team of virtual assistants to help with guest correspondence, and how to manage the cleaning and maintenance of the properties.
