This video highlights a powerful real estate 'hack' for STR investors: finding properties with flat land in mountain towns. Because flat land is rare in these markets, it allows hosts to add high-value outdoor amenities like pickleball courts or mini-golf, creating a 'competitive moat' that significantly drives revenue and bookings.

Key insights

  • Flat land in mountain towns is a 'needle in a haystack' asset that allows for outdoor amenities most competitors cannot offer.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Thinking 'inside the house' only; many hosts neglect the land and only provide a deck or a view, missing out on the experiential revenue flat land offers.

Tools & resources

  • Airbnbwebsite

    The primary platform for listing and marketing these high-amenity unique stays.
