Hurricane Helene - Shocking Aftermath and Survival Tips for Short Term Rental Owners

Hurricane Helene hit hard - especially in North Carolina, and the road to recovery has been both challenging and humbling. In this video, I take you along as my team and I check on properties, help neighbors, and bring essential supplies to those affected by the storm. From navigating fallen trees and potential damage to ensuring our community is supported, we’ve packed chainsaws, water, and other supplies to make sure we're ready for whatever comes. Though we’ve been incredibly fortunate, with minimal damage to my property, the impact of the storm on our neighbors is a stark reminder of the importance of preparedness and community in times like these. I also share critical lessons on why it’s essential to have reserves for unexpected events and diversifying amongst traffic sources when investing in short-term rentals. Watch as we navigate this challenging time and do our best to support those in need.

This whole property is so structurally strong good job on this lodge and property… I would love it if it could be a standard that all people in this country could have that homes that are so structurally sound and put an end to living in over priced moldy box’s and trailers …. I would honestly rather sleep in a cave (I have) than some of the over priced moldy box’s I’ve stayed in while visiting NC.. looking forward let’s build sustainably, strong and affordable and for the climate and disaster aversion…. and the people’s well being. Down with moldy box’s and trailers up with “universal basic architecture” please 🙏
