Holy Buckets: It’s been ONE whole year since we purchased our first STR property (the same month we had our son, nonetheless.)
And I’m so grateful that we’ve been profitable throughout this journey, but that wasn’t by happenstance. It took a lot of hard work and late nights in order to get the business to where it is today. And if it wasn’t for the shared vision we (my husband and business partner) have for our children, it would’ve been much more challenging.
So, in this episode I’m pulling back the curtain and taking you behind-the-scenes into the business of owning a short-term rental. I’m even breaking down the numbers from the initial investments down to repairing appliances. (Got your favorite pen handy?)
And if there’s one thing I hope you get from this episode, it's this: Don’t underestimate how much you can change your life in just one year.

Let me preface by saying this: Yes, I know, the numbers are super important, but they just don’t tell the whole story. 
 
Think about it this way, If we only considered the numbers, we wouldn’t be able to know if the STR would stand out in an increasingly saturated market, create a rave-worthy experience, or be a place guests can’t wait to return to year after year. 
 
In short: numbers alone won’t tell you your expected ROI.
 
That’s exactly why in this episode I’m diving into the three key factors (from experience) that should 100% be considered when you’re in the market for a short-term rental property.

Can I be real with you for a sec?
If you scroll through STR platforms on social media, you'll most-likely notice that they’re flooded with picture-perfect families, extravagant trips, and homes that look like they belong in a magazine. 
While there's nothing wrong with showing the good parts of being a co-host, don't we have an obligation to be really (REALLY!) real with our audiences?
Because the short-term rental business is not for the faint of heart and let’s be real… it’s not for everyone. 
That’s exactly why in this episode I’m giving you the deets on what I personally wish I knew before getting knees deep into the business.
