109. $5 Million in Real Estate in Just 18 Months! Interview with Kacia & Seena Ghetmiri May 15, 2024

Show notes

Welcome, and thanks for checking in today to No Vacancy The Podcast!

The Ghetmiri’s were so much fun to interview! This couple shared how they went from burnt out and overworked in dentistry, to going all in on real estate. I loved hearing how they work together as a couple, and how they balanced this new venture while becoming parents in the last year.

Their growth has been super fast, but super intentional, with just a few strategic investments. I ask them to breakdown their numbers with all the transparency, and they didn’t hold anything back!

105. Building a Portfolio at Your OWN Pace, Without Partners! - Interview with Carrie Drier Apr 17, 2024

Show notes

In today’s episode I get to chat with Carrie Drier of @roostnorthrentals. In an industry that’s constantly talking about how to scale faster, leverage all the financing loopholes, and that partnerships are the key to growth, Carrie’s journey of scaling to 9 properties with just her and her husband, is so refreshing!

She breaks down exactly how they added on each unit, the timeframe it took to do it, and why she has no regrets about her “slow and steady wins the race approach”. Carrie shares how avoiding partnerships has given her complete control over each and every decision, and the freedom it gave her to do things her own way has been priceless.

If you’ve been feeling the pressure to grow faster and scale in a way that doesn’t align with you, this is a must-listen!

104. How to Niche Yourself Down as a Cohost for Midterm Rentals - Interview with Breanna Williams Apr 10, 2024

Show notes

On today's show we have Breanna Williams, who has niched herself down to be a cohost for midterm rentals. When I started chatting with Breanna, I was shocked that she's been able to build a business doing this. As a short-term rental host, I've always found midterm rentals to be the more passive option, and couldn't imagine a property owner needing a cohost to manage just one check in per month.

Breanna, proves to us that there is major value in providing this service to property owners. If you've been wanting to dive into cohosting, this episode will open your eyes to one of the many ways you can niche your offering down and build the cohosting business you want to run.
