This week’s Monday Market Data Report takes us to Miami, Florida, one of the most talked-about short-term rental markets in the country.

Is the hype justified? Mark breaks down the numbers by bedroom count to show where the real revenue gaps are—and why Miami rewards scale more than most markets.

Inside this episode:
• How 3-bedroom STRs range from average performers to nearly doubling revenue at the top
• Why 4-bedroom properties see a major revenue jump with only a slight dip in occupancy
• The eye-opening leap in performance for 5-bedroom homes, including six-figure potential
• What 6+ bedroom luxury properties are earning and why occupancy stays strong across all sizes
• The key takeaway: in Miami, bigger homes stay just as booked and earn significantly more

If you’re considering investing in South Florida or already own in Miami, this data-driven breakdown will help you understand where bedroom count, nightly rates, and performance truly intersect.

Tune in for the numbers, stay for the insights—and we’ll see you Friday for a new guest episode.

From European boutique hotels to Florida short-term rentals—Chris has lived and breathed hospitality since he was a kid scrubbing dishes in his family’s German hotels. In this episode, Taylor sits down with Chris to unpack how his early exposure to real guest service shaped the way he builds, designs, and manages his thriving STR portfolio across Southwest Florida.

Chris shares how years of traveling the world as a professional tennis player gave him a front-row seat to what great hospitality feels like—and what most operators get wrong.

You’ll learn:
• Why the check-in experience sets the tone for your entire guest stay
• The biggest hospitality lessons Chris brought from boutique hotels to Airbnbs
• How to identify “what’s missing” in your own STR setup by thinking like a guest
• The mindset shift from athlete to investor—and how discipline translates across both fields

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn travel experience into hosting excellence, this episode connects the dots between service, design, and short-term rental success.
