Summary
AI-generatedFor hosts looking to start an STR business with little to no money, the speaker suggests two strategies: start by acquiring property management contracts to gain experience and manage someone else's property for a percentage of the revenue, and then rent out a 2-bedroom unit and rent out the other room to build skills in cleaning, messaging guests, using software, and pricing; or rent a 1-bedroom apartment for use as a short-term rental to build skills in STR property management.
Key insights
One of the cheapest ways to get started is to rent a two-bedroom property, live in one bedroom, and rent out the other bedroom.
Mistakes to avoid
Don't expect to manage others' properties without experience.
