STR Global Unlocked with Simon Lehmann · 042: Why Your Rental Business Is Easy to Replace | Rachel Alday · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

I mean, you could have built a normal high volume PM company.

Why curated?

Why high end from day one?

And what is your conviction?

Or did the market force you to do that?

Well, one thing Rachel, you and I will not do today is define the terminology of luxury because we've tried to do that many times while I've met in conferences and it's very hard.

So, you know, at the end of the day, but you define, you decided to go for the upper side of the market.

Was that just because what you expected from your existing operator was not met or did you see a massive opportunity?

Because if you look at the market data today and now the market is shifting, the mid market is very challenged right now in terms of supply.

Budget is always available and has a demand, but people have now higher expectations.

So you were reading the time 20 years ago or 18 years ago and now you're in a high demand market.

So let's move on that a little bit.

Three markets, 200 plus homes.

But you've said the goal is to stay small in feel.

When did the big and good start pulling against each other?

Yeah, we can take that conversation offline, Rachel.

More than happy to dwell on that together with you and your team as well.

But it's a great segue to go deeper because a lot of operators are living this right now and we don't want to name them right now, but I can relate so much.

to what you're saying here.

I mean, it's all about scale.
