Top 3 Takeaways from a Short-Term Rental Panel
Summary
Derek from Hospitable shares three key takeaways from a short-term rental panel. First, he notes that 50% of Airbnb listings are new since COVID, meaning there are many new managers in the market. Second, he emphasizes reinvesting in your current listing instead of immediately acquiring more properties, including updating linens, accent walls, and taking better photos. Finally, he recommends taking seasonal photos to stand out, as guests often only see the first few images.
