In this episode of Get Paid For Your Pad, Jasper Ribbers sits down with Alex De Camp, founder of Great Stays in Detroit, Michigan. A former banker turned short-term rental operator, Alex shares his path from redeveloping properties in Detroit to managing a growing STR portfolio, with over 150 turns a month.


They dive into how Alex automated his operations, leveraged Freewyld Foundry's RPM service, and how early involvement in the LegendsX community shaped his journey.


You’ll hear how Alex’s experience inspired his next big move: opening a laundromat to vertically integrate laundry into his STR business, cutting costs, improving quality, and creating a more efficient turnover process.


The episode is packed with practical insights on SOPs, AI, team building, and scaling smart (not just fast).
