128: Optimizing Profitability of Short-Term Rentals with Samson Waters' Derrick Sabourin

WATCH ▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube ***   EPISODE DESCRIPTION Episode 128: Matt and Taylor are joined by Derrick Sabourin.   Derrick is a Managing Partner of Samson Waters Vacation Rentals from Vernon, BC, a property management and optimization service for short-term rentals across Mexico and the Okanagan.   A former high school teacher of English and Spanish, Derrick realized he wasn't as fulfilled in that career path as he wanted to be. After a talk with his cousins, who founded Samson Waters, he moved to Mexico from Manitoba, thus starting his real estate journey. After a year, he decided to follow them to the Okanagan, and has been steadily growing their short-term rentals portfolio ever since.   Derrick is here to discuss:   → His journey into short-term rentals, the benefits of working with him, and his future plans.   → The pitfalls of self-managing rentals, what makes Samson Waters different from other property management companies, and the 2 tiers of their "hands off" approach.   → The ultimate goal of STR and how to optimize pricing, the biggest revenue drivers, and the importance of amenities is profitability.   → The current state of the short-term rental (STR) market and policies in the Okanagan and what makes a place like SilverStar different. ***   CONNECT WITH THE GUEST 🌎 Samson Waters' Website: www.samsonwaters.com 📸 Samson Waters' Instagram: @samsonwaters 🔗 Samson Waters' LInkedIn: @SamsonWatersVacationRentals   📧 Derrick Sabourin's Email: derrick@samsonwaters.com 📸 Derrick Sabourin's Instagram: @derricksab 🔗 Derrick Sabourin's LinkedIn: @DerrickSabourin ***   MDDL U'S INTRO TO MIDDLE HOUSING COURSE To receive your promo code for FREE access as a Kelowna resident or 50% off as a BC resident, email: hello@mddl.co   *Registration is open until August 20th, 2026. ***   CONNECT WITH THE SHOW 🎙️ Kelowna Real Estate Podcast: www.kelownarealestatepodcast.com 📺 Kelowna Real Estate Podcast YouTube: @KelownaRealEstatePodcast 📸 Kelowna Real Estate Podcast Instagram: @kelownarealestatepodcast ***   CONNECT WITH MATT 🌎 Matt Glen's Website: www.venturecommercial.ca/our-team/matt-glen 📬 Matt Glen's Email: matt.glen@venturecommercial.ca 📸 Matt Glen's Instagram: @realmattglen ***   CONNECT WITH TAYLOR 🌎 Taylor Atkinson's Website: www.venturemortgages.com 📬 Taylor Atkinson's Email: taylor@venturemortgages.com 📸 Taylor Atkinson's Instagram: @VentureMortgages ***
