Hi BP, 

Just wanted to say thank you to this whole community. Earlier this year I sold a flip and was trying to figure out my next move and next project. After a few months of zero luck sourcing a decent project (prices for flip properties were so inflated in this market), I was feeling a bit down. After spending some time on BP and reading AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, I decided to explore the STR world.

Fast forward a few months, I have closed on my first STR, furnished it, and put it live on the rental platforms earlier this week. I woke up this morning to my first booking of 5 nights next week. It is in a ski town with peak season in the winter so I was thrilled to see this booking come in.

Long story short, with the help of the BP forums, advice from other members, and more I was able to put together a great STR and am thrilled to see where this goes!


Thank you, BP community.

Chris
