Episode Synopsis
On this episode of The JV Pod, Jesse Vasquez sits down with Jeff Illulian, CEO and co-founder of HostGPO, to unpack his fascinating journey from corporate law to scaling a game-changing business in the vacation rental industry. Jeff shares how he transitioned from law into short-term rentals, growing his portfolio from one property to over 150, and how a simple realization at a networking event led to the creation of HostGPO—a group purchasing organization helping hosts save on high-quality furnishings. They dive into the challenges of scaling a company, the importance of intentional design in rental properties, and the latest trends shaping the industry. Plus, Jesse puts Jeff in the hot seat with some rapid-fire questions about the wildest things he’s seen in rentals, the struggles of assembling IKEA furniture, and which celebrity he’d choose to be stuck in a midterm rental with for a month. Packed with insights, laughs, and valuable takeaways for hosts and entrepreneurs alike, this episode is a must-listen!Connect with Me! 👋Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Airventurehostingco Website: https://therealjessevasquez.com/
