[quote=cvmom]ER, you are a pro. I have only ever been on the receiving end of short-term rentals, but I definitely want to stay in one of your properties! Very impressive. I can see why you have been as successful as you have in life, you certainly deserve it.[/quote]
Thanks so much for the really nice comments cvmim! I appreciate it.
As others mentioned, it’s a LOT of hard work and really you have to put a value on your time. But if you set it up properly, willing to make the investments and separate your rental property from all the other “junk” out there you should do very well.
My friends always razz me about sharing so much information with potential “competition” but my theory is that the more people that take this seriously, the more interest and market it will create. The short-term vacation rental market has exploded over the past decade and I’m very thrilled to be a part of that explosive growth.
I LOVE seeing other people successful doing the same thing. And the greatest sense of achievement is when guests tell me things like “I’ve never had a better vacation, never stayed in a nicer more organized property, etc”. Also I love, “your apartment looks just like the photos”. If you do it right, you should hear those things all the time.
The thing is it takes time and money to do it properly but absolutely there is a lot of money to be made if you set it up properly from the beginning.
