Andrew Jacoby

Nashville Area Consultant /
Owner of Hostpitality Consulting

I started my short-term rental adventure back in March 2017.  Before then and for several years after, I spent much of my life on the road traveling with bands as a concert lighting technician.  At its peak, spending 300 days a year on the road.  I used my savings(mainly my lack of ability/time to spend money) on purchasing my first house hack.  A small 2 bedroom 1 bathroom in East Nashville with a view of the downtown skyline.  Whenever I was gone, I would lock up one bedroom and rent the other bedroom out on sites like Airbnb and VRBO.  This was where I fell in love with the concept and had my first success.  I repeated this process, buying a new house till I had 4 properties, turning each into a long-term rental, and making the new home my house hack.

In 2019 I finally committed to leaving the road and jumping into the short-term rental industry full-time.  I started Jacoby Properties, a property management company focused on providing owners and guests a 5-star performance but bringing every aspect of the business of operating a short-term rental in-house.  During my years prior, I had spoken to many managers.  I learned how they managed their businesses and their company philosophies.  A saw an opportunity to provide local property owners the ability to hand off the management of their properties without having to sacrifice the core values of the sharing economy and short-term rentals.

We did this by controlling every step in operation and only using outside vendors to a minimal capacity.  3 and a half years later, I grew the company to 75 properties, 50 owners, 15 employees, 4.9 average guest reviews, 97% owner retention, 9% higher occupancy on Average, and $31 higher ADR on average, and over 5 million in yearly gross revenue.

In March of 2022, I successfully led an acquisition of Jacoby Properties by a leading nationwide short-term rental property management company. After a few months off, I launched Hostpitality consulting to empower individual hosts with the ability to successfully host their short-term rentals with the professionalism and success of hiring a manager.
