My wife Brea and I love the life we've built together. 

But it hasn't always been easy. In fact, at times, it has been very, very hard. 

The last few months have been the most stressful period of our lives. We've had to manage our properties from afar, deal with renovations, run a business, and manage family life. But being the power couple we are, we did it and came out stronger than ever. 

That’s why today, we want to discuss the struggles of building a short-term rental business as a married couple. We’ll share the tips and strategies that have helped us prosper not only as a business but also as a family, from renovation strategies and hiring practices to listening to our children and meeting their needs. We’ll cover everything! 

If you’re about to start an STR business with your life partner, this is for you. 

Tune in!
