EP07 - Win in Direct Bookings by Going Niche with Adam and Deavon Peterson
On this episode we have Adam and Deavon Peterson, a couple that plays on each other's strenghts. They own over 100 long-term-rental doors and 4 short-term-rentals. They went against the grain and purchased in non-mainstream vacation destinations and found a niche that has allowed them to outperform their investor peers. They walk us through their philosophy that lead them to major direct booking wins by serving a short-term-rental market that does not fit airbnb's demographic.
