STR Investors! Do you also regularly use your/other STRs?

Just curious to learn how many investors are avid users compared to those that are solely looking at the market as an asset class.

If you own STRs do you find yourself staying in other STRs or even your own on a regular basis?

I LOVE sharing our STRs with others, and I LOVE staying in STRs.

The best one was back in 2012 when my bride and I were on our honeymoon.  We rented the top floor of a farmhouse overlooking the lake in Interlachen, Switzerland.  This was back before a lot of the automations that we all use today.  The instructions to get to the house was:

"Arrive via train and ask a local which one is Lake Brienz.  Take the bus road that runs parallel to the lake until you hear the bells of our cows.  Go to the second floor and make yourself at home."

That whole week, we were terrified we were in the wrong spot!
