We couldn't be happier with our experience working with STR Like The Best! Michael and his team have provided outstanding guidance and expertise throughout our journey of purchasing and setting up our short-term rental.There is so much more involved in getting an STR up and running than we ever imagined, and having this team walk us through the process has been invaluable. From the detailed, step-by-step guides to the multiple weekly calls available depending on what stage of the process you're in, they make sure you always have the resources and support you need.Another huge benefit is their list of vendors specific to the area where you purchase your property. Having recommendations and contacts for everything from painters and handymen to cleaning services and design professionals is incredibly helpful. It saves so much time trying to find reliable people in an unfamiliar area and helps make the entire setup process that much easier.What really sets them apart is the personal attention. Members of the team take the time to send personal messages to check in, answer questions, and keep you on track. You never feel like you're just another client or that you're left trying to figure everything out on your own.Honestly, with everything that goes into starting a short-term rental, I don't know how people do this on their own the first time, especially if they don't have much background or experience in real estate. There are so many moving parts, details, and things you don't even know you need to know!Having this team so accessible has made the process so much more manageable and given us confidence every step of the way. If you're considering getting into the STR business, especially as a beginner, we would absolutely recommend STR Like The Best. The mentorship, knowledge, and ongoing support provide tremendous value, and the pricing is well worth the investment when you consider how much time, money, and costly mistakes their guidance can help you avoid!

We are incredibly grateful to STR Like the Best with Michael and Liz and highly recommend them to investor-operators! As someone with a background in institutional real-estate investing, including in the vacation rental space, I was confident in the investment thesis but not in my operating skills. STR Like the Best held our hands through the entire process, and compared to doing it on our own, I know they saved us years of trial and error and lost carry costs.Their organization is well organized with a solid foundation of detailed online lessons. The regular group calls allow for ad hoc Q&A and learning from others' experiences, and the private discussions allow for completely individualized Q&A. Their team is incredibly responsive, experienced, and supportive. The thoughtfulness and minutiae of detail with which they crafted their program really encapsulates many years of hard-earned learnings. The team culture and community has also been terrific, with shared values and a growth mindset. I look forward to continuing my STR investing and operating journey with this team!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We’re so thankful for Michael Chang and the STR Like the Best team! They’ve been with us from the very beginning, helping us get started and launch our first STR. What we appreciate most is that their support didn’t end after launch. They’re still there whenever we have questions, offering advice, sharing their knowledge, and helping us learn along the way. It’s been such a comfort knowing we have people we can turn to as we figure things out. We’ve learned so much from them and are truly grateful for their continued support. Highly recommend!

Five stars doesn't feel like enough...The program is incredibly well organized - Michael, Liz, and team have developed a very smooth process for guiding investors each step of the way. Their team is proactive, responsive, and always available to answer questions or offer guidance when needed.In making the choice to join: it wasn't that I didn't think I could figure things out on my own. I wanted to accelerate my learning curve (to save time, money, and headaches!) and have real expertise to lean on along the way. I'm certain their guidance has already saved me countless hours of going down unnecessary rabbit holes.I'd work with them again in a heartbeat. If you're on the fence, I can confidently say I'm so glad we made the investment in their guidance.— Maria Radler

2 months into this program and I have learned SO much. As a student of the STR Like The Best program, I've been introduced to best in class professionals from CPAs, attorneys, realtors, insurance brokers, designers, business banking etc.. Michael and Elizabeth Chang are super involved in each phase of the program, walking me through the search phase of finding my ideal market and property alongside a whole team of analysts and specialists who use Slack so efficiently. There are clear strategies and checklists to get you towards the finish line and the team is always readily available if there's a need to pivot. Michael Chang explained right up front, you have to put in the work yourself if you want to legally obtain your tax benefits. So this program is definitely a lot of work and I would say that's the largest differentiator between this program and other online courses/webinars/STR consultants etc. Perhaps most importantly, you're able to directly implement your coursework into real experience as you follow the plans through each phase of your STR whether you're searching, under contract, design phase, launching or actually operating your STR.

Michael, Liz, and the team at STR helped us all throughout our rental search and went above and beyond guiding us. We could not have had a better team than Michael and STR like the best.
