On today’s episode, Rich sits down for an interview with good friends and key players in the short-term rental space – Craig Gerulski & Matt Floyd. They built a portfolio of 30+ properties while working full-time careers, and recently both just left their day jobs to pursue building their thriving business. They discuss officially being free from their W-2 jobs and the 3 models they use for their business:  individual property ownership, a rental arbitrage company, and a management company. They share some invaluable advice on various strategies they use to grow their business by bringing in additional properties and driving revenue. Craig and Matt are passionate about helping others create passive income streams to gain financial & time freedom. They dive into their favorite markets, the concept of saturated markets, and essential tips for individuals embarking on their first short-term rental venture.Connect with Craig & Matt: partner@stayclassyhomes.com / 619-738-6199--Connect with Rich on Instagram: @rich_somersInterested in investing with Somers Capital?
