Most people lose in STR because they think small.
This episode breaks down exactly why $150K–$200K is now the minimum to win, and how to outpace the competition by investing in what actually matters.
You’ll learn:
• How Mike’s team turned a $715K property into a 26%+ cash-on-cash winner
• Why outdated listings are getting crushed in today’s market
• The new furnishing rule of thumb (hint: it’s not $6K per room anymore)
• Why “I’ll add amenities later” is the biggest red flag from investors
• Real-world examples of design ROI and creative deal structuring
• How to dominate Year 2 with direct bookings, not just Airbnb
If you’re serious about STR, this episode will shift how you think about budget, value, and building long-term cash flow.
