EPISODE 135

How to Build the Next Generation of STR Management Companies

Meet Jacob Mueller, Co-Founder and CEO of Renjoy — a next generation short-term rental management firm based in Colorado Springs.

Growing up, Jacob never would‚Äôve guessed he‚Äôd be an entrepreneur, he studied economics in college and thought he‚Äôd go into policy. 

But during his senior year, Jacob had the opportunity to work on a school project as a part of his thesis that revolved around launching a business in rural Michigan — and while he couldn‚Äôt have known it at the time, this project would inspire him to leave his dreams of working in Washington DC to own and operate businesses. 

After graduating, Jacob wound up getting really into coffee and bought a local chain of coffee shops in the Colorado Mountains. But after a couple of years of working in the restaurant businesses, Jacob desired a pivot — and so he began binging episodes of Bigger Pockets and learned as much as he could about real estate. 

Tune in to hear the exciting story of how Jacob wound up going all in on real estate as he believes it’s one of the best ways to help people achieve financial freedom, and how this mission of his led him and two of his friends to start Renjoy and scale it to over 150 properties under management in just a couple of years.
