The Smoky Mountain Vacation Rental ForumEpisode 13 The Long Game vs. Quick Wins: What We Can Learn from One Another with Travers XanthosThis week Tom steps outside the Smoky Mountains to talk with Travers Xanthos, a friend and now Guesty colleague who's spent the last ten years building, breaking, and rebuilding a short-term rental business in Nashville. Travers's path started with a cold call list pulled from Craigslist and a "maybe" from a landlord after 25 no's, and from there took him from rental arbitrage to backpacking Bali on early Airbnb income to nearly losing everything in the first weeks of the pandemic. Tom and Travers walk through it all: the scrappy early hustle, the pivot to housing construction workers...

Live Let Thrive PodcastEpisode 128: Build a 7 figure STR business using these systems with Travers XanthosSend us Fan MailTravers Xanthos runs 30 short-term rentals in Nashville - mostly rental arbitrage - and watched his occupancy drop from 90% to under 8% in four days when COVID hit.
