In this episode of STRUnfiltered, Bill is joined by Shawn Moore, owner of “Vodyssey” and one of the great minds in the world of Short-Term Rentals. The two go into detail about Shawn’s upbringing, how he was drawn into the world of Real Estate, and (of course) about that signature cowboy hat. Bill and Shawn share a similar style and approach to investing, but a large portion of the conversation is centered around their one major difference: whether or not to self-manage or to hire Property Managers. Both Bill and Shawn understand that marketing and presentation are absolutely key to success in the world of STRs, and despite their differing approaches, both share some very particular needs and requirements in order to maximize the revenue from each individual property. From there, the two discuss Projections for the market in 2024, and their plans to meet up for a fantastic joint seminar in the coming months.
