175 Properties Across 14 States: How They Scaled

Conventional logic says you must dominate one market before expanding. BNB Breeze ignored that rule and built a 175-property business across 14 states.In this episode of The Accommodation Show, Heather Schlabach (COO of BNB Breeze) explains why following real estate investors across 14 states created a resilient national portfolio, and why taking on 50 properties in a single local market (Sarasota) was actually harder than operating nationally.Heather shares how her team recruits boots-on-the-ground cleaners using local community networks, standardises spec sheets across hundreds of listings, and relies on three core values to empower remote contractors to make decisions independently.Guest: Heather Schlabach, Co-Owner & COO, BNB BreezeWebsite: bnbbreeze.co [confirm URL]📋 In this episode, we discuss:00:00 - Scaling 175 properties across 14 states centrally05:54 - Following investors instead of chasing single markets08:03 - Finding cleaners on street corners and church networks11:38 - Why acquiring 50 homes in Sarasota broke their systems14:33 - Warehouse logistics vs direct cleaner shipping18:29 - Standardising setup spec sheets and biannual deep cleans21:23 - The 3 company values that replace micromanagement25:15 - How to evaluate multi-market expansion#STRManagement #PropertyManagement #ShortTermRentalsSHOW LINKSBNB Breeze: bnbbreeze.co [confirm URL]Don't forget to hit that subscribe button!
