Summary

AI-generated

Short-term rental hosts are seeing empty calendars because they are using outdated strategies from 2022 or earlier. To succeed in 2025 and beyond, hosts must adopt progressive, active business management techniques and focus on optimizing for shoulder and off-seasons.

Key insights

  • The short-term rental market has evolved significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic; strategies that worked in 2022 or even 2024 are not effective today.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Treating a short-term rental business as a side hustle instead of an active business can lead to lower returns and empty calendars.

Tools & resources

  • STR Bootcampcourse

    A bootcamp is being offered in the Smoky Mountains in July, featuring industry experts Avery Carl, Steve Schwab, Brenna Carl, and Patrick Slytech, to help hosts fix booking issues before summer.
