Frequently Asked Questions

What is STR Investing?

STR Investing is the education arm of our ecosystem, led by Mark Lumpkin and Taylor Jones. We built it to cut through the noise and give investors straightforward, actionable strategies for short-term rentals. Think of it as your free training ground — from acquisitions and design to operations, amenities, taxes, and beyond. It’s where today’s operators learn the same frameworks top STR pros actually use.

How much do your courses cost?

Nothing. They’re 100% free. We add new lessons regularly so you’re always up to date — but you’ll never have to pay to access them.

Do I need to own a property already to benefit?

No. These courses are designed for both beginners and seasoned operators. You can start learning before you buy — so when the right opportunity comes along, you already know what to do. And if you are ready to buy, our sister company STR Search (led by John Bianchi, “The Airbnb Data Guy”) can help you find and underwrite the right property.

How is this different from free advice on YouTube or TikTok?

Simple: depth and credibility. The STR space is flooded with surface-level tips and “gurus” chasing clicks. We’ve managed and invested in over 140+ properties ourselves. Our lessons are built on real numbers, real systems, and real results — not hype. Every course is structured to give you repeatable frameworks you can actually apply, not just recycled soundbites.

How do I get started after I finish the courses?

If you’re ready to put what you’ve learned into action, the next step is working with John Bianchi and STR Search. That’s where you’ll move from education into execution — finding profitable markets, identifying the right properties, and running the numbers with confidence. Learn more at strsearch.com.
