On this week's episode, Avery is joined by Frank Napolitano. Frank shares how he and his family transitioned into short-term rentals in the Smokies, leveraging bonus depreciation and cost segregation to maximize tax advantages. He discusses what makes their property stand out—like a pool, tiki bar, and ADA accessibility—and how small touches such as holiday decorations and guest amenities have led to rave reviews. Frank also talks about navigating market saturation, negotiating during high-interest rate cycles, and his long-term goal of building a small portfolio, along with the lessons he’d give his younger self about money and investing early.
