Buying a short term rental doesn’t need to be complicated. But, with more than 14,000 listings hitting the market every single day, the likelihood of you finding the right home at the right time feels damn near impossible.
You need to find the right location.
With the right unit economics.
And, the right style.
It’s tough.
But, when you do… it’s a game life changer.
