STR's , Investing On My/ Interview with Josh Hatter

Josh began investing regularly in stocks in 1999 at the age of 18. He shifted to real estate in 2005 at 24, using the cheap leverage offered by the Fed’s easy money policies. He ultimately shifted into short-term rentals (STRs) from 2012-2023 and historic bed & breakfast (B&B) and boutique hotel properties beginning in 2022. He bet on himself and has successfully grown a $30,000 401k loan in 2012 to more than $5M in just 10 years of smart real estate investing through his principles of information arbitrage.
Josh moved to Charleston from the Washington, DC, area in 1999 to complete a Bachelor of Business Administration degree at the College of Charleston. He graduated from the Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina with an MBA in 2010.
After spending nearly 20 years of his professional career growing businesses primarily supporting the US Navy, he decided to rent a single bedroom in 2012 on VRBO long before the proliferation of Airbnb. Since that single-bedroom rental 11 years ago, he has grown his portfolio into several businesses owning short-term rental investments and actual B&B properties, both alone and with partners, as well as managing a $60M+ portfolio and over $3M in annual bookings for his clients to help them meet their long-term investment property goals. His management portfolio spans 8 cities in 2 states and continues to grow annually at a rate of more than 100% for each of the past 4 years.
He loves supporting his clients, growing their investments, and hosting thousands of guests each year as they visit Charleston and the Smokies through his property management company, Coastal Vacation Properties (CVP), and his B&B properties, The Ashley and 1837 B&B.
