On today’s show. I talk with Nico Ortega about what short-term rentals are and how they work. The difference between normal short-term property management and traditional rental property management. What Nico is doing differently in this space with this company and much, much more.

Robert Leonard (00:25):
Nico Ortega is the CEO and co-founder of NUOVO, a Miami-based, tech-enabled, short-term rental property management company. NUOVO partners with clients with short-term rentals and manages the properties for their owners. I’ve felt for a while that technology and innovation have been lacking in the real estate industry. Probably heard me mention that on the show before, so it was interesting for me to learn from Nico about how they’re applying a popular technology model, the SaaS or subscription model, to real estate. I hope you guys enjoy the conversation. Let’s dive right in.

Sure. Well, I’m originally from Ecuador. I’ve been in Miami for around seven to eight years now. I got started in real estate after I graduated college. I went back home. I graduated in Boston and went back home, started working with my brother at one of the largest real estate development companies in the country where we basically tapped into every single industry or every single aspect of real estate development.
