The Business of Bill Faeth: A Look at His Content Business, STR Portfolio, and Events Company

Meet Bill Faeth — one of the most popular and well-respected voices in the short-term rental industry.

Bill Faeth has been involved in real estate for almost 25 years with both commercial and residential investing. In 2015, he switched the majority of his residential portfolio to short term rentals from long term after seeing an opportunity to increase profit and reduce risk.

Bill currently has a multi-million dollar portfolio of short term rental properties primarily located in vacation rental markets with a focus on beach, lake, and mountain properties.  In addition to his own portfolio, he hosts the popular STR Unfiltered podcast and he's the co-producer of STR WealthCon, one of the hottest industry events for vacation rental entrepreneurs.

In this episode Bill and I discuss:

  • The story behind how he traveled to golf tournaments with Tiger Woods
  • How he built, scaled, and sold his first businesses
  • How much money he makes off of his content vs. his portfolio
  • How much money the STR Wealthcon makes and what the long term vision for the event is
  • What he's recently changed his mind about
  • And so much more
