Get Paid For Your Pad | Airbnb Hosting | Vacation Rentals | STR Revenue Management From 25 to 100+ STR Units in Less Than 1.5 Years
When David Bergmann joined our Legends X program in April 2021, he was a hectic host with 25 units and a dream to quit his full-time job.
18 months later, David manages a portfolio of 110 STR units and a neighborhood laundromat!

David is Cofounder of Heartwood Furnished Homes, a short-term rental management company out of Columbia, South Carolina.
On this episode of Get Paid for Your Pad, David joins me to explain how a solar eclipse inspired him to become an Airbnb host and why he started managing units for other STR investors.
David shares what he’s learned about hiring team members before you need them, adjusting systems that aren’t working and saying NO to clients who aren’t a good fit.
