EP385 Successful Strategies in Short-Term Rentals Panel Discussion With Al Williamson, Kate Stoermer and Jeremy Garcia

What's new in short-term rentals? According to AirDNA bookings are up, but so are the number of rentals available. More competition means less profit to go around. Investors who rushed in without a plan are now second-guessing their decisions. But there are strategies, both new and old, that are working and being employed by savvy investors. What are those successful strategies in the short and mid-term rental space? We've gathered three successful investors today to help us find out: Al Williamson is the world's first landlord scientist and an expert on extended stay Airbnbs—meaning he is a thought leader on furnished rentals that are available on a monthly basis.
