In this engaging episode of The Hideaways Show: Behind the Curtain, hosts Jordan Holmes and Mike Sebastian delve into a critical topic for real estate investors—how to make your property stand out in the short-term rental (STR) market.
They discuss the common misconception that buying and minimally upgrading a property is enough for it to be an investment, emphasizing the need for bold, unique features to truly capture guests' attention and ensure long-term success.
They also stress the importance of seeing renovation costs as investments rather than expenses and offer practical advice on leveraging professional help.
The episode features their 'Would You Book It?' segment, where they review two distinct properties: a chic, Instagram-worthy pink-themed house, and a unique, Hobbit-inspired earthen home in Montana, weighing the pros and cons of staying at and hosting such unique properties.
The hosts conclude by encouraging listeners to embrace bold design choices and thoughtful property upgrades to stand out in a competitive market.
