STR Investing, The Podcast

Mark Lumpkin, Taylor Jones

Booking Overview

This interview-led short-term-rental investing show combines portfolio-building guidance with conversations featuring STR company founders, operators, and specialized experts in areas such as law, safety, and property operations. PR agencies could credibly pitch experienced STR investors, vacation-rental service founders, hospitality operators, legal professionals, safety specialists, and market-data experts; booking difficulty is medium because guests generally need direct industry experience and practical expertise, but not broad celebrity recognition.
