STR Masterclass and Scaling
I am curious to hear people's thoughts on paying for STR Masterclasses.
Here's some background info...
I am a try it and learn it type of person and have found I learn much better that way. That is what I have done for the last two years. I jumped in with one property and learned as I did it. I did well enough to get a few more properties and now have 4. Nothing crazy, but I realize the potential and want to do it full time.
The problem I am facing is scaling my portfolio. Maybe I am in my own head, but I am just not sure the best way to attract more owners. Cashflow is tight right now because the winter season in my area of Maine is a lot slower. Therefore I do not have a ton to invest.
I am interested in STR Secrets Masterclass (I think its like $5,000) but I do not think I can swing it right now. I know a friend who took it and him and his wife scaled to 25 properties (they are also in an area with less STR restrictions and less seasonality). Nonetheless they are killing it and I'm pumped for them. He attributes a large part of their success to taking this class.
I guess I am just trying to do my due diligence. Curious to hear from others who have successfully scaled, with or without taking a master class. Also, what approach did you take to scale?
Thank you 🤙🏻
Gabe

Quote from @Theresa Holl:
Gabe - a friend of mine does something similar and people are having good results. They're popular for a reason.
Glad to hear! There are too many things that are "popular" nowadays. It can be hard to tell what is legit sometimes.
