  • Love it!

    I started listening to Thanks For Visiting as my husband and I are planning to return to Airbnb hosting after a nearly ten year break. A lot has changed since we were hosting and Sarah and Annette have become our trusted guides as we prepare for this journey. Not only is the information incredibly helpful (almost every episode I find myself jotting down a helpful hint, resource, approach or quote), but their enthusiasm is infectious!

  • A Must for Short Term-Mid Term Rental Enthusiasts

    Before I even started my short term rental, this podcast, both Tuesday and Thursdays, was a must listen! Thank you, Lori S, Fort Wayne, for recommending.

    Not an episode goes by that I don’t learn something that can help improve what I have to offer my community. Sarah and Nanette feel like old friends, and are there to help all of us level up in the STR arena. You’re missing out if you don’t listen to this podcast and you’re in the short term rental arena.

  • Amazing podcast

    I started listening just before we bought our first property. I’ve learnt so much the podcast got me through my first year and gave me the confidence to self manage. The bootcamp in January got me through my second year and into profit. My 3rd year is going to be epic thanks to Annette, Sarah and the team

Q: How could someone know if their CPA is a good CPA or not?
