Today’s show features an interview with former Marine and current RE agent/investor Sean McDonnell. Sean shares his story of how he focused on buying one house a year, slowly building up his RE portfolio while also building a RE sales team using skills he learned during his time in the military. Sean’s story changed when his STR property manager quit on him, leaving him managing three of his own properties. The burden of that work led Sean to look into executing a 1031 where he traded three small STR’s for one lakefront luxury property he had stayed at with his family and loved the experience. The story turned ugly at this point, and Sean shares lessons he’s learned trying to manage a luxury STR property with so many complications he did not expect.

In this podcast episode, David Greene talks with Josh Shriner, an Oklahoma-based real estate agent and investor, about what it really takes to survive and grow in today’s real estate market.

They dive into what’s working in the Tulsa and Broken Arrow Airbnb market, why location and walkability matter more than hype, and how thoughtful, moody design can outperform the basic white-and-gray look.

If you’re interested in real estate investing, house flipping, rentals, or Airbnbs—especially in Midwest or smaller markets—this episode is packed with practical advice, real talk, and lessons you can actually use.

On today’s show, guest Jonathan Clark shares every STR host's worst night-Airbnb shut down his entire account with no warning-based on an issue with “reviews”. To Jonathan’s shock and dismay, it appeared Airbnb had cancelled his account with the justification being he had left a negative review for a guest. In addition to his account being shut down, Airbnb told Jonathan all his future bookings were being cancelled, against his will, all coming into high season! Jonathan shares what his experience was like, how the Airbnb support was zero help, and how he believes they intended to chase him off until he gave up. By a stroke of luck Jonathan was able to get his account back, and he shares how he did so, and what he learned about Airbnb in the process. If you’re an STR owner, or considering being one, you can’t miss today’s show.

Together, they talk through why fear and failure derail so many people, the difference between a poor mindset and a rich mindset, and why creating real value, not chasing free handouts, is what the market rewards, while also offering practical insight into goal setting, money habits, and defining what a rich life actually looks like.
