Today, we have a question from Ashley to Tony, on a subject he has a lot of experience in. Ashley wants to know: How do you analyze a market for short-term rentals)? Which factors come into play and how can you stay away from the markets that won’t work for short-term rentals?
This is a perfect time to ask Tony, especially since **he’s looking to find a third market to invest in **(outside of Joshua Tree and the Smoky Mountains).
Here are some suggestions from Tony:
Make sure you aren’t buying in an area that heavily relies on seasonality)
Focus on **mature vacation rental markets **that have the infrastructure for short-term rentals
Double check regulations and zoning laws) so you know you’re allowed to host a short-term rental
Look at the** availability in the current market** (are there any houses to buy?)
And more in the episode...
