While working for a global consulting firm, Stacey fell into the real estate investment game by accident. What she didn’t know, though, was that her life would change forever with that one property purchase. After a few short months of renting out that “accidental” real estate investment, Stacey quickly realized that she had an appreciating asset on her hands and: • Someone else was paying her mortgage • Her bank account was growing each month • She was earning tremendous tax benefits Seeing first-hand the power of real estate as a wealth building tool, Stacey decided to take the leap and invest in more properties. Fast forward to today, Stacey has a 7-figure investment portfolio and was able to successfully pivot her investing approach when the global pandemic hit. When eviction moratoriums started popping up due to COVID-19, Stacey shifted her focus from long-term rentals to the game-changing strategy of short-term rentals. I got “bitten by the STR bug” and have never looked back! In just over a year Stacey bought and rehabbed 8 beachfront properties – turning them from “ugly ducklings” to beautiful, relaxing vacation retreats. And her strategy paid off! She enjoyed a healthy cash-on-cash return within 12 months and began helping others learn how to do the same. Stacey continues to grow her STR portfolio, owns a rapidly-growing co-hosting and property management service, and is passionate about helping others. She provides education via 1-to-1 consulting, group coaching, live events, and online courses. Her signature approach is teaching others how to set themselves up for success, grow their wealth, and live their best life. She is the founder of the Female Short-Term Rental Investors Facebook group and The Short-Term Rental Society, a member-based online community for STR hosts and vendors. Through her work, Stacey helps others turn their short-term rental dreams into successful businesses without having to sacrifice their family, their free time, or their sanity. When she takes her “business hat” off, you’ll find Stacey either spending time with her family and friends, singing with her a cappella quartet, or relaxing on a beach somewhere.https://www.instagram.com/stacey_st.john/This episode was made possible by Vintory.

Marc Hostovsky is the founder of Minoan. Prior to leaving to start Minoan, Marc was an early employee at Jet.com (later acquired by WMT in 2016 for $3.3B) where he managed a $400M omnichannel P&L and spent a lot of time between the walls of traditional retail (WMT) and eCommerce (Jet.com). After spending over a decade in retail, Marc saw an opportunity to shift the economic relationship between suppliers and consumers, specifically short-term rental hosts. By turning these properties into showrooms for brands, the concept of “Native Retail” was born. Native Retail is the idea of illuminating everyday spaces like short term rentals, gyms, restaurants, etc., and turning them into showrooms for the products and brands that are in those spaces. That way, consumers can test out products in environments which the products were designed for, and if they like them, they can easily learn more and even purchase them at that moment. As featured in TechCrunch, Forbes, and Sunset Magazine, Minoan is an all-in-one, free, ordering platform hosts can use to systematize furnishing. Hosts can buy from 200+ brands at steep discounts and save the hassle of dealing with messy logistics (tracking, customer service, etc.). One thing that sets Minoan apart from other purchasing organizations is we can also help turn your STR into a shoppable experience so guests can order the items they loved from their stay, and you can make a little extra money.https://www.instagram.com/minoanexperience/https://www.facebook.com/minoanexperience/https://www.linkedin.com/company/34959050/admin/This episode was made possible by Vintory!
