Finding an STR to purchase (existing STR for sale)

[Michael G.]

I'm wondering if there are ways to find properties that are for sale that are already STR properties. I'm currently using Zillow/Realtor.com etc. but I'm not finding a lot of properties that are existing STRs. How do others find their potential properties to purchase?

Realtors, property managers or cold-calling current hosts on platforms like Airbnb. A lot depends on if you're looking in a popular STR location or not: not many realtors are like @Avery Carl who own and operate STR’s.
