On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Chad Gallagher, a tech-turned-real-estate entrepreneur who’s built and sold a 5,000-door property management company, owns over 200 long-term rentals, and now focuses on acquiring what he calls "iconic" short-term rental properties. Chad shares the details behind his high-end STR portfolio—including a 9-bedroom Chesapeake Bay estate and a 400-acre working winery—while diving into his unique acquisition strategies through tax sales, distressed assets, and off-market deals. He also explains why branding, adding bedrooms, and leveraging complexity are his keys to long-term success.
