On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene sits down with Nick Corwin, founder of Oak and Ember, to explore what it really looks like to move from long-term rentals into short-term hospitality and eventually into ground-up development. Nick shares how an engineering mindset, strong mentorship, and disciplined downside analysis shaped his early investing decisions. The conversation traces Nick's evolution from owning Midwest long-term rentals to building unique short-term experiences in the Wisconsin Dells. He explains why chasing the middle of the market can be a losing strategy, how combining units and serving overlooked guest segments created an edge, and why operating short-term rentals requires far more systems and empathy than most investors expect. Jonathan and Nick also unpack the realities of entitlement risk, zoning battles, and development timelines. Nick offers a candid look at what it takes to push a project through local approvals, manage rising costs, and stay grounded when timelines and budgets inevitably expand. In this episode, you will hear: Why testing whether you even like being a landlord matters before scaling How Nick identified underserved short-term rental niches instead of competing in crowded markets The operational differences between long-term rentals and hospitality businesses Lessons learned from zoning, entitlement hurdles, and community resistance Why doubling both your budget and timeline can save you from painful surprises Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene sits down with Bri West, co-founder of Somerled Designs, to explore how strategic design has become a competitive advantage in today's short-term rental market. Drawing on her background in marketing and real estate investing, Bri explains why design should be treated as a revenue-driving investment rather than a cosmetic expense. The conversation dives into how niching down on a clear guest avatar, using data to guide design decisions, and prioritizing high-impact spaces can dramatically increase ADR—even if occupancy is lower. Bri also shares insights from managing and designing hundreds of short-term rentals nationwide, including common mistakes investors make, how to think about amenities and bed configurations, and why lifestyle photography and branding are no longer optional. Listeners will come away with a clearer framework for evaluating short-term rental opportunities, aligning design with long-term investment goals, and standing out in increasingly saturated markets. In this episode, you will hear: Why short-term rental design should start with data and investment strategy, not personal taste How niching down on a specific guest experience can outperform "general" properties The role of amenities, durability, and bed layout in guest satisfaction and reviews Why branding and lifestyle photography directly impact bookings and pricing power How to think about long-term competitiveness as markets become more saturated Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

In this episode of Living Off Rentals, host Kirby Atwell sits down with Stephen Arnaud, an engineer, W-2 employee, and father of three, who's intentionally building his path out of the 9-to-5 through short-term rentals. Stephen shares why, even though he enjoys his career, the demands of a W-2 job started to conflict with family life and long-term freedom. Like many high-performing professionals, he realized that traditional investing alone wasn't going to give him the flexibility he wanted anytime soon. That realization led him to short-term rentals. If you are still working a 9-to-5 but thinking seriously about building income outside of it and a pathway to financial independence, this episode offers a realistic roadmap. Listen and enjoy!

If I were starting over in short-term rentals today, I wouldn't rush into the first deal just to say I owned one — and I definitely wouldn't invest where everyone else is telling you to. In this episode, I'm walking you through our real journey: buying our first STR, building a six-figure co-hosting business, and realizing pretty quickly what wasn't the right long-term play for us. We talk about market selection, cash flow vs. equity, why I'd avoid certain oversaturated markets now, and what I wish I had understood sooner about renovations, contracts, and boundaries. If you're in the "should we buy?" or "what's our next move?" phase — or you're thinking bigger than single-family STRs — this episode will help you slow down and make smarter, more intentional decisions. We cover: The investing choices I'd change if I started over Why market selection matters more than ever Cash flow vs. long-term equity (and how I think about it now) What co-hosting actually looks like behind the scenes Why we're focused on micro resorts and boutique hotels moving forward Connect with me:

Jonathan Greene sits down with Steph Weber, CEO of The Weber Co., to break down why short-term rental owners can't rely solely on Airbnb if they want long-term control and growth. Steph explains how direct branding protects your business from platform changes, helps guests connect emotionally to what you offer, and creates a clearer path to repeat stays and referrals. They also dig into what it actually takes to build a brand guests remember, beyond pretty photos and a few amenities. Steph shares how to define a real target audience (often starting with yourself or a past/future version of yourself), how to turn amenities into guided experiences, and why collecting guest emails is one of the simplest, most overlooked moves STR operators can make. The biggest takeaway: today's STR world isn't a side hobby—it's a hospitality business. And the operators who win are the ones who design intentionally, market consistently, and build a brand they own. In this episode, you will hear: Why direct branding matters when you don't control the platform that drives bookings How Airbnb changes can impact hosts—and why brand autonomy is the hedge What it means to create a "branded guest experience" (not just a place to sleep) How to define your avatar and design for a specific audience (not the masses) Why email lists are "low-hanging fruit" and how they power direct bookings Turning amenities into intentional rituals and guided experiences guests remember Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

New-York, Montréal, Penang, Berlin, Barcelone, Amsterdam... Partout dans le monde, les villes durcissent leurs réglementations pour freiner la prolifération des locations touristiques de courte durée. Principale cible : Airbnb.   En moins de 20 ans, la plateforme est devenue un acteur majeur du tourisme mondial avec une offre dans plus de 150 000 villes, plus de 8 millions d'annonces actives pour un chiffre d'affaires de 11 milliards de dollars en 2024. Au départ, alternative moins chère aux hôtels, permettant une expérience d'hébergement plus authentique pour les voyageurs et un complément de revenu pour les propriétaires, Airbnb s'est petit à petit métamorphosé et avec, les villes visitées. Pour beaucoup de propriétaires, la location courte durée est devenue une aubaine bien plus rentable que la longue durée.   Conséquences pour les habitants, une offre de logements disponibles qui s'amenuise, une hausse des loyers et une cohabitation de plus en plus tendue avec les touristes et les fameux “digital nomads”.   Les capitales ne sont pas les seules concernées. En France, par exemple, des communes de taille moyenne comme La Rochelle, Biarritz ou Nice ont vu leur centre-ville se transformer avec Airbnb. Les épiceries, les cordonneries, les magasins d'optique ou autres quincailleries laissent place à des coffee shop, des commerces de restauration rapide ou des magasins de souvenirs. Néanmoins, pour d'autres communes, l'arrivée d'airbnb a permis d'améliorer l'offre d'hébergement touristique et de redynamiser la vie locale. Alors quelles sont réellement les conséquences d'Airbnb sur les villes ? Et comment elles s'organisent face à l'explosion du tourisme de plateforme ?   Avec : • Chloé Tegny, cheffe de groupe au département opinion de l'Ifop. Co-autrice avec Jérôme Fourquet et Sylvain Manternach d'une étude pour l'Institut Teram Tourisme 2.0 : anatomie de la France Airbnb parue en octobre 2025   • Francesca Artioli, politiste et urbaniste, maîtresse de conférences à l'École d'urbanisme de Paris de l'Université de Paris-Est Créteil. Co-autrice avec Thomas Aguilera et Claire Colomb de Housing Under Platform Capitalism: The Contentious Regulation of Short-Term Rentals in European Cities (Editions de l'Université de Californie, 2025)   Un entretien avec Najet Benrabaa, correspondante de RFI à Medellin en Colombie, où l'expansion de la plateforme Airbnb a transformé le visage de la ville.  En fin d'émission, la chronique Voisins connectés d'Estelle Ndjandjo, sur l'évolution des sociétés africaines mondialisées à travers les écrans, les réseaux sociaux et la technologie. Aujourd'hui, elle s'intéresse aux filtres qui permettent aux utilisateurs noirs d'éclaircir leur peau. Une nouvelle forme de dépigmentation mais virtuelle.  Programmation musicale :   ►Trafic locaux - Limsa d'Aulnay & ISHA ►Perdon - Ruta Calavera  

Christian Klossner, Executive Director of New York City's Office of Special Enforcement, joined the show to discuss the shifting legal and regulatory landscape around Airbnb and other short-term rental platforms, and his office's education and enforcement work as New York City has sought to eradicate tens of thousands of illegal short-term rental listings while allowing a legal market to flourish. (Ep 554)

In this episode of the Real Estate Pros podcast, Sid Bahadur, CEO of Nicasa and XB Homes, shares his journey in the real estate industry, discussing his transition from long-term rentals to short-term rentals, the current state and future of the short-term rental market, and the importance of management skills in running a successful business. He emphasizes the significance of investing in employees, understanding financial metrics, and learning from challenges to achieve growth and success in the real estate sector.   Professional Real Estate Investors - How we can help you: Investor Fuel Mastermind:  Learn more about the Investor Fuel Mastermind, including 100% deal financing, massive discounts from vendors and sponsors you're already using, our world class community of over 150 members, and SO much more here: http://www.investorfuel.com/apply   Investor Machine Marketing Partnership:  Are you looking for consistent, high quality lead generation?

Joining us on this episode of Living Off Rentals is a Navy veteran and mom of three who went from a high-pressure military career to building a real estate business that allowed her family to take back their time. Karin Ventresca is a Naval Academy graduate, former nuclear engineer, HR professional, and now a full-time real estate investor and short-term rental operator. After years of long commutes, daycare drop-offs, and COVID-era burnout, she and her husband built a short-term rental portfolio that gave them the freedom to reshape how they spend their days. Listen as she shares how they made the shift from demanding military roles and corporate careers to creating a business that supports the life they want to live. She also opens up about the mindset shifts, goal-setting, and action steps that ultimately allowed her to quit her HR job and be fully present with her kids, without sacrificing financial stability.
