Ever wondered what it takes to run a successful short-term rental property on the Sunshine Coast? This fascinating deep dive with Chris Doherty-Fisher, General Manager of Sunny B&B, unveils the mechanics behind managing 80 holiday properties spread across 50 kilometres of coastline.Chris reveals eye-opening statistics about the extraordinary returns possible in this market, with Coolum, Mooloolaba and Maroochydore all ranking among Australia's top 10 suburbs for short-term rental yields—delivering approximately 80% higher returns than traditional rentals. For property investors considering this path, he offers candid advice about what truly works, from proximity to beaches (the closer the better) to the must-have amenities that drive bookings.The conversation demystifies common misconceptions, like the belief that short-term rentals significantly impact housing affordability (census data shows only 2% of rental properties nationwide are in the short-term market), and the assumption that booking far in advance guarantees the best rates (often the opposite is true thanks to dynamic pricing models). Chris shares insider knowledge about guest preferences, including why air fryers have become one of the most requested kitchen appliances and how pet-friendly properties can substantially widen your booking potential.Beyond the business aspects, we explore Chris's fascinating journey from cocktail bartender to managing a thriving family business, his passion for systems and logistics, and the challenges of coordinating cleaners, maintenance staff, and guest experiences across dozens of properties. His insights into property management software, damage prevention strategies, and the art of creating memorable guest experiences provide a masterclass for anyone interested in the short-term rental space.Whether you're a property investor considering holiday rentals, a curious traveler wanting to understand how these operations work, or someone fascinated by the evolution of the accommodation industry, this episode delivers valuable knowledge directly from someone at the coalface of this dynamic market.

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Jillian from Sprouting Arrows to talk about something at the heart of the Homestead Challenge: remembering your why. Even though our paths look a little different—she homeschools, I don’t; she’s deeply driven by her faith, I have a different approach—we’re both working toward the same goal: creating a life that centers around family, simplicity, and purpose. Jillian shares her family's journey from living on two incomes (and unknowingly overspending) to thriving on less than $50,000 a year—all while growing closer as a family and living more intentionally. We dive deep into real-world tips for living frugally, finding joy at home, breaking free from consumer culture, and overcoming the pressure to "keep up" with others online or in real life. Whether you're dreaming of stepping back from the rush, spending more time with your family, or finding ways to live fully without overextending yourself—this conversation will encourage you and show you what’s possible. What we cover in this episode: Jillian’s journey to frugal living and her mindset shifts along the way How living with less has brought more joy, health, and connection to her family Practical ways to save money without feeling deprived Homesteading on a tight budget: creative ways to build a garden and make from-scratch living affordable Managing technology use and building peaceful, present rhythms at home Handling extracurricular activities in a way that doesn’t overwhelm your family life Tips for battling comparison—both online and in real life Why remembering your why makes all the difference when you're tempted to quit Resources Mentioned: Brittany: The Homestead Challenge Jillian:  Sprouting Arrows Enjoyed this episode?
