STRIP ...The Short Term Rental Investor Podcast is the definitive show for short term rental investing, Airbnb investing, and vacation rental investment strategy on the Gulf Coast and beyond. Hosted by Justin Powell, a working short term rental agent and active investor who buys, sells, and underwrites STR properties every week, this podcast pulls back the curtain on what actually drives cash flow, ROI, and long-term wealth in short term rentals ...not theory, not influencer hype, real deals happening in real time. Every episode digs into a different piece of the short term rental investing puzzle: how to pick the right market and property type, condo vs. single-family investment analysis, HOA due diligence and special assessment red flags, insurance underwriting on coastal properties, financing and lending for investment properties, revenue management and dynamic pricing, guest experience and listing optimization, property management systems, STR regulations and zoning, tax strategy for short term rental owners, and how to scale from one Airbnb investment property into a full short term rental portfolio. Whether you're a first-time buyer trying to figure out if a short term rental is even the right investment, a real estate agent who wants insider-level STR knowledge to better serve clients, or a seasoned investor looking to sharpen your underwriting and squeeze more revenue out of an existing portfolio, STRIP breaks it down with real numbers, real market data, and real talk ...no gurus, no fluff, no theoretical spreadsheets built by someone who's never closed a deal.

    In this episode, Justin names exactly who should never buy a condo — the control freaks, the HOA-haters, the ones chasing ego over ROI — and then blows up every one of those excuses. He breaks down what your HOA fee is actually buying you, why condo insurance can run a fraction of a single-family home's on the coast, the one real red flag to check before you buy, and why Gulf Shores HOAs aren't fighting your short-term rental income — the town was built for it. Then the numbers: why condos are out-earning single-family homes in this market, and how to underwrite one the right way so a pretty pro forma never fools you. If you've written off condos, listen before you believe it.
