<p>This week, Lauren interviews Joe about his rental business, which includes both long- and short-term rentals (STRs/Airbnbs). Joe makes a great case for having both in your portfolio for diversification purposes, and you can diversify even further if you learn to get direct bookings in addition to Airbnb and Vrbo. He uses a Facebook group to get more direct bookings. If you're wanting to learn more about all aspects of investing in STRs, this is for you!</p> <p><strong>About Joe:</strong></p> <p>Joe Mease is a 42-year-old, married, father of 2, living and operating out of Denver, CO.
