Insightful Podcast w/ Great Guests

I know I’ve written a review prior but I don’t see it so adding this one! Jesse and Rafa are killin it in their furnished rental spaces with mid-term rentals and arbitrage, but I love how their show reaches a broader range of successful entrepreneurs that help you dream bigger for your life and business endeavors. Keep up the great work guys! - Host of Furnished Finder’s podcast “The Landlord Diaries”.

Simple, Basic, Informative

Jesse and Rafa give us the best of both worlds in terms of STR and MTR. They speak about the basics and foundation of how they started and how they grew their business- basically providing a simple blueprint on how to start and grow your own business. The info they provide is basic, yet extremely informative!! The guests they bring on supplement the podcasts very well! They’re all simple, down to earth people who teach us their various strategies in the business world!
