Show Notes

I've been on the hunt to learn as much about short-term rentals and Airbnb investing as possible. After getting connected with Spencer and Ashley, I immediately knew there were no better people to learn from.

Since 2018, they have accumulated 6 Airbnb properties, both in the Niagara region and in the US. They also manage over 60 properties for other Airbnb investors across the country.

Their top grossing property in Niagara does $180-$200k per year, which nets them about $60k per year.

I tried to get into their detailed processes and criteria from evaluating properties to purchase, and everything in between to get them listed.

We discuss many topics, including:

- The specific criteria they look for in properties
- How they differentiate their properties
- The importance of focusing on top-notch guest experience
- By-laws in Niagara that investors should be mindful of
- The costs involved to furnish an Airbnb property
- How much profit they make on their properties
- What's required to purchase properties in the US

What is Founder Views - SaaS, Business, and Beyond?

Founder Views is a podcast for SaaS builders who want real conversations, not recycled playbooks.

Hosted by Kosta Panagoulias, a 2x SaaS founder, the show features in-the-trenches conversations with SaaS CEOs, operators, and experts. Each episode digs into the decisions, strategies, wins, and struggles that shape real companies - practical insights from people actively building, not theorizing.

While the core focus is SaaS growth, leadership, and execution, the podcast also leaves room for broader discussions that help founders think better - whether that’s economics, technology, markets, or other big-picture business topics.

If you want raw, easy-to-follow conversations with people who've actually built something, you’ll feel right at home.
