As he tells his story he shares useful, actionable insights, and goes deep sharing with listeners practical information that they can apply in their own lives to build something from nothing in the short-term rental real estate market. We had a wonderful conversation, learned a lot—and you will too. Take a listen, then rate, like, share and subscribe!
