Melefante6 STR Course

[Trenton Thompson]

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!
