Episode 158: Managing other people's properties = Less Risk & Bigger Paydays w/ Kevin Knight
Description
Kevin Knight ran operations for Vacasa and Turnkey Vacation Rentals before launching Patriot Vacation Rentals in Big Bear Lake - now managing eight units in a market that hit 98% occupancy in December and 80% through March. His rule: stay in every unit before the first guest, inspect every clean, and make owners feel like the only owner.
The conversation ranges from regulatory crackdowns shutting down Arlington and San Diego units to the mechanics of setting clear expectations, using Breezeway for task automation, and why starting debt-free forces better decisions. Myka and Steve debate whether primary-residence homeownership is equity or a liability, discuss the rising cost of rental arbitrage vs. the dropping price of single-family lease deals in Grand Prairie, and consider whether the housing market is headed for a crisis as inventory vanishes and cash buyers snipe every listing.
