Overcoming hurdles in the STR space
Hello RE Investors!
I am Micheal Porche. Former FireFighter Paramedic. Now a Real estate Entrepreneur & Full-time Investor. I am the owner of STR Legacies Mastermind & Escape and Stay Vacation Rentals. I have gone through quite a few hurdles and still go through quite a few hurdles. But along the way, I am learning as fast as I can.
I wanted to know what your biggest hurdles are right now in your RE journey? And what are you currently doing to address the situation?
Whether finding the right property, minimal to no booking for the past few weeks, or getting started, challenges in analyzing deals, or anything at all that keeps you from attaining your goals.
Looking forward to hearing and learning from your experiences.

@Michael Porche This is a great conversation starter! My current biggest hurdle is saturation in true vacation markets (especially drivable vacation markets!) or in counties that are extremely STR-friendly where it seems like every other house is a vacation house and not a primary residence.
What's one of the biggest hurdles you've overcome? You mentioned you've gone through quite a few?
