How can I help STR investors and learn at the same time?

[Anthony Becerra]

Hello good people!

I'm brainstorming ideas on how I can market myself to potential mentors in the STR game in order to gain experience. Ideally, I'd like to become so much of value that I'd be paid for my help/ services. But I understand where I'm at now, and am willing to work for free until I can provide such value.

A little about me. I only have 1 property under my belt and am currently house hacking my SFH. I have 0 experience managing STR properties, but lots of experience using Airbnb from my travels 😅 I am halfway reading Avery Carl's book on STR.

Here are some ideas I got from Tony & Ashley about providing value to other investors:

(Shoutout to the Real Estate Rookie Podcast!)

1. Manage their properties
2. Provide welcome gifts/ goodie bags for their guests before check in
3. Hauling extra supplies/ misc items to return to stores or other properties

Any other ideas that I can pitch to make myself more marketable?

And are there any other skills I should focus on and develop?

Thank you all in advance. This rookie really appreciates it 🙏

I'd check local STR FB groups and see if you have a local Real Estate Club.

You can offer your services there, maybe for free in exchange for the experience.
