First Owner-Finance Deal - Plus the Email Campaign Driving Direct Bookings
Description
Myka lands her first owner-finance deal on a Richardson condo after discovering creative financing through a Pace Morby podcast, while Stevie Stacks launches an email marketing campaign via MailChimp targeting corporate housing coordinators, past guests, and travel nurses. The episode dives deep into direct-booking strategies, utility caps for insurance placements, and why the hosts believe their midterm-first model - built around 30-plus-day B2B leases instead of Airbnb bookings - insulates them from platform volatility.
The pair discusses how the pandemic forced hosts to innovate (sparking today's direct-booking wave), why the BRRRR strategy faces headwinds at 7-8% interest rates, the Biden mortgage-fee adjustment, subject-to deals as a way to buy locked-in low rates, residential assisted-living as an unexplored niche, and how resending MailChimp campaigns to non-openers boosts open rates. Myka also shares meeting a BRRRR investor stuck underwater when her hard-money loan matured into a refinance at double the anticipated rate.
