353. BiggerPockets's Investment Strategy for Building High-Performing Vacation Rentals

Most hosts pick their next STR on a gut feeling, a beachfront view or a cozy cabin. Garrett Brown from BiggerPockets took a different approach…

He built a data comparison today across 5 property archetypes, scoring cash flow, appreciation, and long-term risk.

In this episode, we break down which property type won, and why management matters more than location:

• The property type most investors overlook actually scored highest on cash flow.
• Why lakefront properties deliver strong appreciation but almost no day-1 cash flow?
• The 1 management decision worth $18,000 a year on the same property.
• Why the highest-ceiling property type also carries the widest range of outcomes.
• The property type that scored lowest despite the strongest nightly rates.
