Get passive income through short term rentals, and decide if you’re cut out for managing it yourself. If managing properties fills you up, you’ll learn how to build a management business. If it doesn’t, you’ll learn how to hire the right one.

Airbnb, VRBO, STR, whatever name you know it by, you can make property management a good endeavor and be fulfilled while keeping the booking calendar filled as well. I’m Mark McDaniel. I’m not a real estate agent. I knew nothing about property management when my partners and I sold an IT company in 2015.

I bought a 4 bedroom vacation rental in Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains – with an indoor pool and what feels like a hundred mile view. But I quickly learned the way my first property manager worked, didn’t work for me. The second, third, and fourth were significantly…no better.

With the idea of being a passive real estate investor now out the window - that 100 mile window - I applied my key principles and unlocked the secret to maximizing the value of rental properties, keeping the calendar full, and being satisfied and fulfilled by my work.

The techniques you’ll hear on The Good Endeavor Short Term Rental Show can be applied to any business, but they sure do make short term rentals more enjoyable for the host, more enjoyable for the guests, and more profitable for the owner.
