78 - How Mike Sjogren Built a Multi-7-Figure STR Business (and His Playbook for Freedom)
What if you could turn your short-term rental business into a freedom engine — one that runs without you, builds generational wealth, and gives you your time back? This week on The Co-Host Bros Podcast, Matt Codd and Austin Spitzenberger sit down with Mike Sjogren — investor, educator, and founder of Short Term Rental Secrets, the #1 community helping hosts build true financial independence through hospitality.
Mike went from grinding in corporate to building a multi-seven-figure STR portfolio that he runs almost entirely remotely. Today, he teaches thousands of operators how to do the same. His story is proof that systems, mindset, and the right mentors can change your life.
We cover:
- How Mike replaced his corporate income through STRs in record time
- Why most hosts stay stuck — and how to break free
- Systems and automations for hands-off hospitality
- Building wealth and legacy through real estate, not just income
- Leadership lessons from building a nationally recognized STR brand
