Conventional logic says you must dominate one market before expanding. BNB Breeze ignored that rule and built a 175-property business across 14 states.
In this episode of The Accommodation Show, Heather Schlabach (COO of BNB Breeze) explains why following real estate investors across 14 states created a resilient national portfolio, and why taking on 50 properties in a single local market (Sarasota) was actually harder than operating nationally.
Heather shares how her team recruits boots-on-the-ground cleaners using local community networks, standardises spec sheets across hundreds of listings, and relies on three core values to empower remote contractors to make decisions independently.
