You're Picking Markets in the Wrong Order — Do This Instead #shorts
Summary
AI-generatedBill Faeth explains why the traditional way of picking STR markets is backwards. Instead of finding a market first, investors should start with the guest avatar, define a buy box based on those needs, and then find a market where the numbers work—while ensuring they save 15-20% of the purchase price for setup and design.
Key insights
The correct order of operations for STR investing is: 1. Guest Avatar, 2. Buy Box, 3. Market. Most investors do this in reverse, leading to a 'square peg, round hole' scenario.
Mistakes to avoid
Using all your available cash for the down payment and leaving nothing for renovation, design, and furnishing.
