Melefante6 STR Course

Hey everyone! There's this guy I see all over Instagram now which makes STR sound really great. He's pretty inspirational and mildly informative - as ask the gurus are - but of course you probably have to shell out thousands from his tribe etc. His IG is here btw: https://instagram.com/melefant...

My question is this: are these kinds of courses really needed for someone that wants to achieve great results in short term rentals? Or is all the information you would need to know in books and on websites and YouTube for free, and that you really wouldn’t get anything additional from these courses? 


Because my thought is that these courses, at least simplify and directly give you the information needed without having to sort through fluff or do lots of searching. But at the same time I don’t know if it’s worth $2000 or something. On the other hand $2000 might be a small price to pay if you’re going to be making that much or more every month by the time you finish your short term, rental journey over a year or two…


What do you think? 🤔 Would appreciate any wise investor’s feedback.

    Micheal Elefante is the person who started us on the road to starting a STR co-hosting company! One of his reels just happened to pop up in my explore on Instagram, and I just happened to notice it and clink on it. At that moment it hit me "we can do this and make money to purchase more real estate", so I started following him. He suggested/tagged more people which helped us find more reputable people and our STR circle kept growing and growing.

    With that said we never took his course and have now unfollowed him. He has lots of good points and hitting on the design factor of a STR is right on par, but we didn't like all the videos about how much money he made etc. We actually followed a number of people on Instagram for months before we decided to join a course/mastermind. The biggest reason was we wanted a mentor and group that fit us and matched our business goals and, in some ways, even personality.

    You questioned if it's worth the money or even needful. We paid a lot for our mastermind, $2000 is a drop in the bucket, and we haven't regretted it at all!! If you're in the right group it expedites your business and real estate goals, not only does it give you credibility but also opens up your circle of network majorly. Plus, you're not alone figuring things out, you have so many people within your group to reach out to and get help or advice. Just like who you hang out with in your daily life can either add value or drag you down, the same is true with who you surround yourself with in business as well!

    Hey Sarah,

    Thanks for sharing your experience and insights. It's interesting to hear how Michael Elefante's content on Instagram inspired you to start your own short-term rental co-hosting company. It seems like he has a good grasp of the design aspect and highlights some valuable points.

    You mentioned that you didn't take his course and eventually unfollowed him because you weren't keen on the videos about his earnings. That's understandable, as some people prefer a more down-to-earth approach rather than constant emphasis on income.

    I appreciate your perspective on joining a course or mastermind. It's great to hear that you found a mentorship group that aligned with your business goals and personality. By any chance, could you share what group it is or if it's accepting new members? It's true that being part of a group like that can make a significant difference in your journey, offering guidance and assistance when needed.

    Thank you again for sharing your experiences and providing valuable insights into the benefits of joining a mentorship group. I'll take your perspective into account as I continue to explore my options in the short-term rental industry.
