Short term rental market in Tulsa

[Alessandra Verbena]

Can anyone offer advice on the short-term rental market in Tulsa? Is it a good market to invest in for STR? Areas to focus on? What are the types of tourists that make their way to Tulsa? Occupancy and rates, etc.

@Alessandra Verbena I own and operate STR's in Tulsa and there is a lot of demand. Others have made good points about why people travel to Tulsa; we have lots of people who are from Tulsa and come back to visit family, and families moving into or out of town. We have guests who come for events at the Expo almost every month and families who have adopted a child, not to mention events like Tulsa Tough and The Rt 66 Marathon. We have had STR's about 5 years now, and there a many more than when we started, so I advise investors to purchase carefully and buy a property that works for long term or short term tenants.
