The Truth About Co-Hosting STRs: What It Takes to Manage 60 Units | Dave Stokley and Mark Vondrak

Super excited to share this episode, featuring our friends Mark Vondrak and Dave Stokely, short-term rental operators and co-founders of HostPros in Cleveland and the only Superhosts in Ohio with over 5,000 reviews!

Mark and Dave have built a thriving local tourism business that extends far beyond simply hosting short-term rental properties. They LOVE Cleveland, their clients, and their guests, and their philosophies and reviews sure prove that.

We also explore the importance of investing in local communities, from supporting local suppliers and charities to getting involved in local legislation. Mark and Dave share their thoughts on the differences between operating a business locally and remotely, and why they choose to invest in the communities they serve. Their passion for local involvement has not only helped their business thrive but also positively impacted those around them.

We dig into their professional partnership and friendship that led them on a biking adventure from Cleveland through upstate New York and onward to Manhattan. Their journey challenged their physical endurance and taught them valuable lessons about slowing down and enjoying life.

Join us for this insightful and inspiring conversation with the co-founders of Host Pros, and see how their unique approach to business and life could offer valuable insights for your own journey.
