07 Nov 2023 A Conversation With Bill Faeth 01:09:04

This week Luke is joined by Bill Faeth for a laidback conversation about their experiences in short term rentals, cohosting, and more. They talk about some recent challenges Bill has faced when purchasing a new property, the growing struggle for middle ground properties, the success of drive-in vacation markets and more. 

 

After leaving UCLA, Bill pursued a career playing professional golf internationally before venturing into entrepreneurship. He successfully established a multi-million dollar glow-in-the-dark golf business, restaurants, real estate development, and as an investor. However, Bill’s interest in real estate investing was piqued when he visited Gulf Shores, AL, to search for a family beach house, prompting a shift in his investment focus from LTR to STR. 

He started in 2015 with the purchase of his first STR in Gulf Shores for $629,000 and quickly increased rental income by 93% in year one while self-hosting for the first time and implementing off-platform marketing strategies from running over $15M in digital ads.

After this success, Bill quickly started growing his STR portfolio and has accumulated luxury single-family homes in five states, generating over $2.5M in annual revenue. He is a founding partner in Rivan Capital Group, a Cohost of 13 luxury properties, and operates four additional businesses.

This week Luke is joined by short term shopper Jack Cronin who is based in NYC. Jack shared his journey into real estate, which began with his family's traditional approach to homeownership and evolved into a passion for investing in rental properties. Jack and his fiancée, both lifelong renters, have built a diverse portfolio that includes long term rentals in Mississippi and short term rentals in Blue Ridge and Broken Bow. They then delved into Jack's strategy for short term rentals, discussing how he leverages his marketing background to optimize guest experiences and occupancy rates. He shared insights on pricing strategies, emphasizing the importance of reviews and guest satisfaction over maximizing nightly rates. Jack's approach includes offering competitive pricing during off-peak times to ensure consistent bookings, which has led to impressive occupancy rates.
