Is it Too Late to Invest in Short-Term Rentals? |
![]() |
The short-term rental market seems to get bigger and bigger every day. This should come as no surprise, seeing that short-term rentals not only work for vacationers, traveling business people, or anyone else who wants a nice, unique place to stay. But, while the rest of the world is focusing on which mountainside chateau they’re booking for their weekend getaway, real estate investors worldwide are figuring out how they can buy, rehab, furnish, and profit from these vacation rental ventures.
With so much competition in the market, it begs the question: is the short-term rental space becoming oversaturated? And, if it is, how can investors get on the ground floor of sleepy markets that will explode in popularity over the next decade or so? Of course, with questions like these, we need our short-term rental and wave-hair-styling expert, Rob Abasolo at the side of Sir BRRRR himself, David Greene. In this Q&A episode, David and Rob will discuss a handful of topics, mostly centered around short-term and vacation rentals. Topics like: how to mix a long-term rental and short-term rental in one property, how to market outside of the top short-term rental platforms, can you convert a regular rental into a vacation rental, and the pros and cons of real estate partnerships. ~~~~ Join BiggerPockets for FREE: https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Use the BiggerPockets Calculators on Your Next Short-Term Rental Investment: https://www.biggerpockets.com/airbnb-calculator?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Grab The BiggerPockets Book “ Short-Term Rental, Long-Term Wealth”: https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/short-term-rental-long-term-wealth?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Ask Your Question on The Next Q&A Episode: https://www.biggerpockets.com/livequestions?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Invest with David on His Upcoming Projects: https://www.investwithdavidgreene.com/ ~~~~ Connect with Rob (Roubilt) on Youtube, Instagram, and Tiktok: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Robuilt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robuilt/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@robuilto ~~~~ Follow Julian on Instagram: @juliangonda or https://www.instagram.com/juliangonda/ ~~~~ Connect with David and Rob on BiggerPockets: David: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/davidgreene24?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none Rob: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/robuilt?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none Episode 576 Show notes at: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show576?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none 0:00 Intro 2:03 Quick Tip 3:37 Combining Long & Short-Term Rental Strategies 12:29 Is The Short-Term Rental Market Saturated? 29:31 Should You Go All In On STRs? 37:17 Financing an Off-Market Dea 38:58 Investing in Small Markets 49:04 Real Estate Partnerships: Pros and Cons 59:37 Q&A Takeaways |
