Meet accidental STR investor, Stacey St John. When her son decided not to use the condo Stacey had bought for him, she was searching for ways to make the investment pay for itself. After giving short-term rentals a try, she was hooked!
About Stacey:
While working for a global consulting firm, Stacey St. John fell into the real estate investment game by accident in 2018. Fast forward to today, she now has a multiple 7-figure real estate portfolio on her hands and said goodbye to her “corporate gig” in 2022.
Stacey is passionate about educating and empowering women in the short-term rental industry. She helps ladies around the world cultivate meaningful relationships, expand their knowledge, grow their wealth, and learn to live their best life. She’s the creator and founder of:
- The Female Short-Term Rental Investors Facebook group
- The Short-Term Rental Society
- The Short-Term Rental Virtual Summit for Women
- The STR Success Accelerator
- The STR Sisterhood podcast
Outside of her educational activities, she owns a boutique co-hosting and property management firm, Kozy Getaways, which helps real estate investors (in select markets) run every aspect of their short-term rentals with a hands-free, white glove service.
And when she takes her “business hat” off, you’ll find Stacey either spending time with her family and friends, singing with her a cappella quartet, or relaxing on a beach somewhere.
