Key Takeaways:

"Short-term rentals. I think it's an amazing opportunity right now." - Dan Lesniak

"I'm starting to hopefully seeing a renovation of a duplex in Pompano. When all of those are done, we'll have six doors in Florida, one in Arlington, and you know all of them at double digits, high double digits, kind of cash-on-cash returns, and we manage all of them ourselves and with someone on our real estate team." - Dan Lesniak

"If there's something that truly is an inconvenience like maybe the cleaning crew showed up late and it wasn't fully ready, we typically do like gift cards to a local restaurant. And so even when things go wrong, if people feel like you care and you're responsive, they still leave you great reviews, which, that's the key to outperforming the rest of them." - Dan Lesniak
