Taylor Jones

Taylor is the Head of Acquisitions for STR Search.

As a washed-up baseball player, looking at numbers and making informed decisions has always been apart of his day to day. Staying disciplined to the data by underwriting conservatively has been a key to Taylor's formula for success.

By successfully helping investors acquire over 260+ top performing STRs, you won't find anyone with a bigger track record of acquisitions in this industry.

When he's not deep in spreadsheets, you can find Taylor out on the golf course mixing in 18 holes.
