Amenity Stacking, Snowstorms and Scaling STRs in New York ft. Josh Briner

On this week's episode, Avery is joined by Josh Briner. Josh shares how he transitioned from a background in education and flipping distressed properties into building a short term rental portfolio in upstate New York, including the Finger Lakes and Buffalo area. He dives into why he prefers value-add BRRRR deals over turnkey properties, how amenity stacking like pools and saunas can dramatically impact revenue, and what investors should realistically expect during the first year of launching a luxury rental. The conversation also covers scaling a management company to over 100 doors, navigating snow removal and winter challenges, and the mindset required to succeed long term in the hospitality-driven short term rental business.
