Summary

Short-term rentals have had a serious run over the past two years. As soon as interest rates dropped, everyone decided that buying a vacation rental or second home was the best move to make. This led to a surge in short-term rental investments across the US, as hosts began to almost outnumber guests. Now, vacation rentals are seeing a dramatic slowdown while a recession starts to shape, as Americans are less concerned about taking vacations and more about keeping their jobs. So where is the vacation rental market headed? Were short-term rentals just a short-lived fad that could fade out faster than it took to be born? Or, is this a mere blip on the radar of vacation rentals, as guests still prefer hosts over hotels? We brought on Avery Carl, Jenny Yi, and Tony J. Robinson, three experienced short-term rental investors, to walk us through exactly what is happening in the market, what moves they’re making, and advice for getting through a recession. We also talk about short-term rental regulations, which, surprisingly, many of the expert investors are in favor of. They speak on the saturation of “blue chip” vacation markets, and how some sleepier towns offer much better prospects for profit than the vacation markets most Americans know and love. If you own a vacation rental, plan on buying one, or just like staying at them, this episode gives you in-the-field opinions that most hosts won’t admit. In This Episode We Cover Who’s hurting and who’s thriving as the short-term rental market starts to lag How to identify new markets that have low competition and high tourism potential Short-term rental regulations and why it isn’t all bad news for hosts How a 2023 recession could affect vacation rentals and vacation spending Advice for new hosts as bookings and revenue starts to decline during a downturn Vacation home price drops and whether or not this type of real estate is more vulnerable than the rest And So Much More!
