Scottsdale/Phoenix Airbnb Operators - Connect

[Ryan Paltridge]

Looking into Scottsdale market for Airbnb investment. Love the growth the area has seen and from my initial research it looks like numbers are strong. Ideally looking for 4/5+ bedrooms w/pool. Any operators in this space that could give me some feedback based on their experience, where to focus? Look forward to connecting.

@Ryan Paltridge I have helped 3 BiggerPockets investors buy 4 STRs in Scottsdale in the last 12 months.

My recommendation would be to concentrate on zip codes in popular locations that also have more non-HOA options.

These would be 85251, 85250, 85257 for options near Old Town. Then 85254, which is further north and close to the TPC Scottsdale (home of the Phoenix Open) and shopping like Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter.

There is also a Facebook group for Scottsdale STR operators, which a few of my clients find helpful.

Let me know if I can answer any questions for you.
