Manage episode 483963028 series 2994783
On this week's episode, Avery is joined by Melissa and Chris Jones, a dynamic investor duo who share how a simple desire for a second home evolved into a thriving short-term rental business and boutique co-hosting company. They walk through their journey from renovating a “turnkey” townhome in Galveston to scaling up with high-performing properties in Broken Bow and Orange Beach. Along the way, they highlight their design strategies, how they stand out in saturated markets, and how word-of-mouth helped them grow a co-hosting portfolio of 25+ properties. Melissa and Chris also offer heartfelt advice for aspiring hosts and share the mindset shifts that helped them go from accidental investors to full-time entrepreneurs.
