Advice on Studio vs. Traditional STR | Branson, MO

[Simon Everett]

Hey BP fam, got a quick question for y'all. I've been considering a STR in the Branson, MO area. (I grew up in that area). I have come across several small condos as nightly rental. A few in particular are studio style. One room with kitchen & bed. ~350-450 sq ft. Much like an upper mid class hotel room with kitchenette.

What are your thoughts on these over a traditional layout condo (1 or 2 bed/bath)?  Will they get rented? Obviously not a family trip kinda room.

Most of these things are under 100k, low barrier to entry, easy to pickup.

First ask yourself these two questions;

1. How would you differentiate yourself from a hotel room?  Are there amazing amenities at the condo complex that would set it apart?

2. Who is your client vs who is most likely to get an Airbnb for a trip to Branson?
