Today's guest

I had the special honor of speaking with Julie George who we had on episode 30. Julie is the author of the Million Dollar Host and the founder of Host My Home, a short term rental management company that she grew to over 100 properties in 3 years and then sold to Hometime, which is another management company that was looking to expand in the area.

In this episode, Julie talks about how other people can build their short term rental business to be able to sell it to the right buyers. We discuss how to value a short term rental business as well. Julie shares what the process of building your business to sell entails and how to achieve what she calls the “ultimate payday.”
