In this episode, Zoey is joined by returning guest Carrie Dreyer of Roost North Rentals to pull back the curtain on what it really looks like to own and scale short term rentals in the same market. Carrie shares her decade long journey of building nine properties in her hometown and why staying local gave her a competitive edge through market knowledge, timing, and hands on involvement.
Together, they break down the real pros and cons of concentrating properties in one area, including economies of scale, renovations, contractor management, guest experience, and long term equity. This episode is an honest, behind the scenes look at boundaries, risk, seasonality, and how owning locally can shape both your business and lifestyle as you grow.
