    Adam and Micah started exactly where many real estate investors do: buying short-term rentals and chasing financial freedom one property at a time.

    #24 From Pilates Studio to $500K+ in Airbnb Revenue: Courtney Petrovich on Hospitality & Design

    Courtney didn't start in real estate.

    She owned a Pilates studio, invested in long-term rentals, and eventually made the leap into short-term rentals and hospitality design. Today, her two Myrtle Beach properties generate over $500,000 in annual revenue, and her company, Denori Designs, helps short-term rental owners and boutique hotel operators create spaces that outperform their competition.

    In this episode, I sit down with Courtney to talk about what most investors miss when evaluating a property: the guest experience.

    We discuss creating competitive moats through design, designing around a specific guest avatar, turning ordinary properties into memorable experiences, and why hospitality is about far more than aesthetics.
