☕ Good morning, STR Report Community!
The STR Report’s Weekend Digest is back — your go-to scroll for real stories from real investors.

Today we’re hearing from a real investor and how investing in short-term rentals changed their life for the better.

Real people. Real properties. Real wins. ↓

I grew up vacationing in Marco Island, Florida so the idea of owning a vacation home there was always a desire. After listening to Michael Elefante’s webinar on the benefits of owning a short term rental, we evolved our plan and purchased our 1st STR property there in the fall of 2024. Once we fully internalized the significant tax benefits, home appreciation, mortgage paydown, and cash flow potential, we purchased another 4 properties in 2025 by utilizing the BNB Turnkey program.

This was hands-down an incredible decision for our family. We know that owning one or two Short Term Rentals can change your life. But we firmly believe that owning five to ten Short Term Rentals can change your legacy, and for that we are grateful. What a blessing this journey has been…
