Cash Flow Positive Part 1: Be a Top Producer without the "Super Amenities"
Can you dominate your short-term rental market without investing in expensive amenities? In this solo episode of the Cash Flow Positive podcast, Kenny Bedwell breaks down how to become a top producer, even without the flashy features competitors might rely on.
Drawing from his own experience and industry data, Kenny explains why success in STR doesn’t always mean high capital investment. Instead, it starts with understanding your goals, the dynamics of your market, and how guests make decisions. He walks listeners through the difference between traditional vacation rental markets and emerging STR-friendly areas, revealing how location, expectations, and regulations can influence your strategy more than a hot tub or a game room ever could.
Whether you’re just entering the STR game or reassessing your investment strategy, this episode will help you focus your efforts—and your budget—where it matters most.
