Bill Faeth reveals that the difference between top STR owners and those struggling isn't the property or amenities, but rather mastery of three business skills: marketing, positioning, and selling. He argues that many beautiful properties sit empty because hosts fail to understand their guests and how to convert them.

Key insights

  • The market is currently saturated with 'beautiful properties' that stay empty because hosts focus on the asset (amenities, hot tubs) rather than the guest conversion process.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Over-investing in amenities like hot tubs and game rooms while neglecting the marketing and sales skills required to get guests to see and book the property.
