About this listen
Ever stayed in an Airbnb and thought: “How much does this place actually earn… and could I do this?”
In this episode, Christina sits down with Dawon Millwood (Concord local + STR owner/operator) for an honest conversation on short-term rentals: what the numbers look like, what the work really is, and how to know if STRs fit your 2026 investing goals.
You’ll hear about:
✅ How Dawon went from W-2 to real estate (and what she learned the hard way)
✅ How she built a team (cleaners + maintenance) that keeps properties running
✅ Pricing strategy, occupancy expectations, and guest communication
✅ When STR management makes sense — and when it doesn’t
✅ Why she charges 15% (and what most managers charge instead)
Bonus: Dawon also shares what it’s been like buying and renovating a downtown Concord commercial building—and why Local Bottle Shop is becoming part of our 2026 Branch community gatherings.
If STRs are on your radar for 2026, this is a must-listen. 🌿
