Experience vs Knowledge: Which Matters More for Success in Short-Term Rental Investing?

Experience vs knowledge - it's an age-old debate, but here's the truth: experience trumps knowledge every time!

We've all heard about street smart vs book smart.  Both are important, but if you have to choose one, street smarts will win every time. 

I know this because I've been in the real estate investing game for over 23 years, with 17 of those years dedicated to short-term rental investing.

Experience is so valuable because it's hands-on, in-the-trenches learning that allows you to identify potential issues before they become problems. Experience also enables you to develop critical thinking skills and make informed decisions based on real-life situations.

With my years of experience, I can anticipate outcomes based on past experiences, identify patterns and trends, and make predictions about the future of the market.

If you had to get brain surgery tomorrow, would you rather go to a surgeon who has performed the surgery 10,000 times, or a surgeon who has performed the surgery 10 times and is fresh out of medical school?

Now, don't get me wrong, knowledge is important. It provides the foundation upon which you can build your experience. However, theoretical knowledge may not always provide practical solutions to real-world problems. That's why experience is so valuable - it helps you apply that knowledge in the real world and make informed decisions.

Lots of people are teaching short term rental investing and many have very little experience.  Most have only been in the game the past 3 years riding a market wave where everyone made money.

If you're looking to get ahead in short-term rental investing, don't rely solely on knowledge. Get out there, get hands-on experience or find yourself a mentor with 5-10 years of experience and watch your success soar!
