On this week’s episode of Short Term Rental Management, Luke shares a candid and unfiltered story about getting fired by a long-term property management company—and the hard lessons that came with it. He walks through red flags like inexperienced managers, poor inspections, inflated rehab estimates, and conflicts of interest, while owning his own mistakes around communication under pressure. The episode serves as a real-world reminder of why vetting managers, setting expectations, and staying involved in asset oversight matter just as much as choosing the right market.
