On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Emily Tunggala. Emily shares how Hospitable is expanding beyond traditional property management software by launching a marketplace that connects property managers with owners looking for help. She explains how the platform uses performance data and insights to match the right managers with the right properties, while also giving newer managers tools to onboard clients professionally. The conversation highlights how this could change the way managers find clients, reduce time spent chasing leads, and create more opportunity based on results rather than connections.

On this week’s episode, Avery is joined by Brian Boyd. Brian, a tax attorney and real estate investor, breaks down how the short term rental tax strategy works, explaining how investors can use cost segregation and bonus depreciation to offset active income while building wealth. He emphasizes the importance of self-managing properties, tracking time accurately, and understanding the rules to properly qualify for these tax benefits. The conversation also dives into common mistakes investors make, like overspending on furnishings or prioritizing tax savings over cash flow, and highlights how real estate can be a powerful long-term wealth-building tool when approached strategically.
