Yep  I’ve worked with a few STR owners and property managers who’ve outsourced parts of their marketing, and the results really depend on who you partner with and what you outsource.What works best in my experience:1 Short-form video marketing (like TikTok & Instagram Reels) to drive direct bookings2 Funnels that collect guest emails and automate follow-ups3 Paid ads only when your content/funnel is optimizedSome tried full automation too soon and ended up disappointed.

I chuckled watching this:www.instagram.com/raddcompanies/reel/C0MpPY_M3Z-/ @Chris Seveney  we see lots posts about the mendenhall family and since dutch is ceo and his brother left company etc. 

Sadly, my experience fell far below what was promised.Out of respect for the BP community guidelines (and because I’ve seen how brutally honest feedback can be attacked here), I’m choosing not to post full details publicly.If anyone is considering working with RTR or any of their affiliates and want a fully transparent, firsthand account, feel free to DM me.Investors deserve the full picture — not just the highlight reel. 

I was at a meeting last night with a newer investor.She wants to get into wholesaling.She thinks the best thing to do with that first check is reward herself.I get it, I've been there too.Best thing to do is set aside a percentage for taxes and the rest just goes back into marketing.For most getting started, they don't really have much money.So, to come across a $10,000 check is very rare for them.Let's say after taxes you're left with $8,000.That's an immense amount of advertising.That's 20,000 postcards.That's 100's of thousands of phone numbers and a great dialer.That's a crap ton of internet leads you can buy.KEEP THE BUSINESS MOVING.The reward will come.

@Hadar Giladi New development can be rewarding but growing markets do not necessarily make the construction project pencil TODAY, and that's what's needed to get a project approved and funded by a lender.

A healthy spread provides a cushion, ensuring the project remains profitable even if things don’t go perfectly.Execution Reward: A tight spread (e.g., 50 basis points) means your equity is working overtime for minimal gain.

We’re all wired differently, some people are driven by recognition, others by financial rewards, growth opportunities, flexibility, or simply the satisfaction of a job well done.

Should landlords support demanding the issuance of 1099 as a way to "reward" tenants for having to pay this form of extortion?

I also own a couple of out-of-state SFRs myself, so I understand how real estate investing can be both rewarding and really complex.

Now in their 30s and 40s, many are earning more, advancing in their careers, and thinking long-term.According to The Wall Street Journal, Millennials now hold more wealth than Gen X or Baby Boomers did at the same age — a shift that’s giving them more freedom to choose where and how they want to build stable, rewarding lives.
