From Healthcare to Hill Country: Stephanie and Wilson's STR Success

In this podcast episode, Stephanie Fang and Wilson Liang, a nurse practitioner and a physician assistant, share their journey of building a thriving short-term rental (STR) portfolio in the Texas Hill Country. Initially, they considered traditional stock investments but soon discovered the lucrative potential of real estate, particularly STRs, which offer higher cash flow than long-term rentals. They now own two STR properties in Canyon Lake that generate impressive annual income, even in the face of high initial interest rates. Their success stems from carefully selecting properties in desirable locations, effective negotiation, collaborating with a strong local team, and understanding market seasonality. They stress the value of mentorship and taking decisive action, encouraging new investors to seek out mentors, focus on efficient systems, and embrace the learning journey that begins with active participation in deals.
