Send us a message!In this episode, Alex & Annie sit down with Tim Hubbard, CEO of Corzly, to break down how a virtual property management model actually works and what it takes to make it successful.Tim started in long-term rental investing before shifting into short-term rentals more than a decade ago. As his portfolio grew across multiple states, and eventually internationally, he built the systems needed to manage properties remotely. That operational backbone became Corzly, a virtual management partner now supporting property managers in more than 40 cities.Tim shares how their white-label backend model works, how they collaborate with on-the-ground teams, and where AI fits into real workflows. Not just automated check-in messages, but layered operational processes that involve owners, cleaners, early check-in requests, and revenue decisions.Episode Chapters:1:04 – From Long-Term Rentals to a 40-City Virtual Operation4:02 – The Idea Behind “Core Operations”5:28 – What Virtual Property Management Actually Means6:08 – Why 10–60 Unit Managers Are Their Sweet Spot7:22 – Running the Backend Without Owning the Listings11:17 – How Much Can You Really Automate With AI?11:58 – The Early Check-In Example That Shows How Complex Workflows Get15:55 – 225 Units Today… 10X Growth This Year?19:58 – The Hardest Part of Scaling Across Markets22:21 – Building Culture With a Fully Global Team27:44 – Developing a 20-Unit Resort in Medellín29:08 – Two Years of Permitting and What It Took to LaunchIf you are exploring growth, efficiency, or a different structure for your management business, this episode offers a clear look at another way to build.Connect with Tim:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-hubbard-str/ Website: https://corzly.com/ ✨ Exclusive Offer to Alex & Annie Listeners:Streamline your short-term rental operations with Hostfully.Mention the Alex & Annie Podcast when you sign up and get free onboarding ($1000 value).👉 Click here to get started: https://www.hostfully.com/influencers/alex-annie/#vacationrentals #shorttermrentals #propertymanagement
