What's Included? 

16 lessons on how I choose markets and properties, including my Goal Setting Worksheet, STR Research Toolkit and a sample property analysis. Every market I chose had one thing in common: there was a clear reason demand was likely to increase over time. This class shows you how I look for that reason, and how I check a property before I ever make an offer.

My Research Toolkit

The STR Research Toolkit Sandy uses to compare markets, plus her Goal Setting Worksheet and a sample property analysis, so you know exactly what to look at and in what order.

Step-by-Step Lessons

16 lessons take you from your goals, to choosing a location, to zoning, regulations and HOAs, to a first check on a property and a careful second check before you buy. Then a real deal, start to finish.

Real Markets, Real Deals

The same process Sandy used to choose four markets in four states, including how to look for what is coming, not only what exists today.

Meet Sandy Lee

Sandy Lee spent more than 30 years in engineering and construction, ending as SVP of Services and running a private equity division, before buying her first short-term rental at 52. Three more followed within two years, and she retired at 55. She now runs four properties across four states herself, in a few hours a week, as Distilled Destinations, with more than 350 guest reviews at 99% five-star and revenue growing 15 to 20% a year. She has been a guest on the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast and BiggerPockets Real Estate Rookie, teaches new investors through STR JumpStart, and is the author of Building Joy: A Better Way to Build Wealth Through Short-Term Rentals.

5 Stars! From finding properties, crunching the numbers and purchasing to actually owning, operating and - most of all - profiting from STRs is all here inside her courses and consultations. She makes everything so easy to understand but also easy to implement from start to finish.

Finally Long-Term Projections! I especially appreciate being able to see long-term projections, which is providing me a much better understanding of the potential performance of an investment. STR JumpStart has such valuable tools for evaluating different scenarios and understanding the financial implications.

Blown Away! STR JumpStart is amazing! As the old Chinese proverb says "to know the road ahead, ask those coming back" - and as both a Realtor and STR owner, I was blown away by Sandy's knowledge regarding "the road ahead" when it comes to all things STR.

Huge Value! The value I got from this was far beyond any other course, masterclass, or coach I've invested in and I would give it more than 5 stars if I could!
