About this listen

On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Bobby Birch, a new investor who’s crushing it with his very first short-term rental in the Smoky Mountains. Bobby shares how he and his wife bought a one-bedroom cabin in late 2023—at the peak of interest rates—and still grossed $98K in their first ten and a half months. He breaks down how thoughtful amenities, great hospitality, and proactive guest service helped them earn 127 five-star reviews. Bobby also dives into how they used a 5/1 ARM refinance to slash their mortgage payment and offers advice for staying hands-on and scaling the right way.
