Our STR/MTR portfolio typically sees around 80% occupancy, and I’ve noticed that the online travel booking sites often push properties with consistently great guest experiences.

I have 0 experience managing STR properties, but lots of experience using Airbnb from my travels 😅 I am halfway reading Avery Carl’s book on STR.

Hey everyone,I have recently read Pace Morby's book about creative finance, and am super stoked!  

I've been re-reading the BiggerPockets book The House Hacking Strategy by Craig Curelop, and the numbers are eye-opening.🔥 Why Co-Living & House Hacking Work So Well Together✅ Higher Rental Income Per Unit – Renting by the room typically beats traditional rental rates.✅ Lower Vacancy Risk – Losing one tenant doesn’t mean losing all your cash flow.✅ More Affordable for Renters – Competitive pricing attracts a steady stream of demand.✅ Built-In Community = Lower Turnover – Tenants stay longer when they feel connected.✅ Allows You to House Hack a Single-Family Home – No need to compete for pricey duplexes and triplexes!

To set the stage, I'm owner of a short-term rental property in the Poconos in PA and we use a property management company for bookings, maintenance/cleaning, guest management, etc.This past weekend we had a guest booking but when the guests arrived Friday evening the house had no running water, though it had been running fine earlier in the day when the Property manager (PM) was at the house to give a final check and leave the welcome packet.

Can't wait to book my wife and my tickets, our son is based in Italy with the Navy.Wrap this post up. 

I have read the book on long distance investing and still am not too confident to get started.

Hunt down a book - "Investing in Real Estate with Lease Options and Subject To Deals" by Wendy Patton.

If you haven't already, read "The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs" by J.

I'll connect via dm, so I can share a comprehensive guide with you.
