The Market's Top Short Term Rentals – Yours Before Anyone Else.
February 6, 2025 | Issue #90 |
Hey, friend! The short-term rental market is delivering some serious wow factor today, and these properties are primed to impress guests and investors alike.
Picture this: a luxurious Pocono dream home getaway, fully furnished and operating as a turnkey Airbnb business that’s already grossing $300,000 per year—because passive income should actually feel passive. Next, a Mid-Century Modern stunner in Joshua Tree, where newly renovated interiors blend seamlessly with the magic of the desert sunset. And finally, a newly renovated chalet home sitting on 8 private acres, just under two hours from NYC—because the demand for stylish, secluded escapes is only growing. These and more shared exclusively with Investor’s Edge readers.
