The 5 Steps to Making Short-Term Rental Millions (Part 1)

Short-term rentals have taken the world by storm. Over the past two decades, the bed and breakfast type business has fallen prey to the more scalable short-term rental model. Real estate investors quickly realized that they could capitalize on the long-term equity gain of rental properties with the cash flow of hotels in one highly-lucrative asset class. Thus, the rise of the short-term rental, VRBO, and Airbnb investor was born.
Arguably the most notable short-term rental investor in the space today is good friend of the show, Rob Abasolo. Rob is such a pioneer in the short-term rental investing area, that veteran agent, broker, and investor David Greene, has partnered up with him to collectively build their cash-flowing, equity-increasing empire together. With dozens of deals under both of their belts, Rob and David walk through the five steps that it takes to find success in the short-term rental space.
This episode is split up into two sections, with the latter coming out right after this one. In this show, Rob dives deep into finding a short-term rental market that fits your needs and goals, choosing a location that specifically benefits you as the investor, the different types of short-term rentals, and how to build a vacation rental strategy that will match your goals for financial independence. Whether you’re thinking of buying a snowy chateau or a desert domicile, Rob and David will help you put the pieces together so you can build a strong portfolio that will benefit you for decades to come.

Will less people be buying second homes? Will it ruin the returns on most properties? Will we see more properties on the market? Thanks!

    I am going to need to take Bigger Pockets classes-so confusing between F. Peace U, Lifestyle Unlimited, Bigger P., etc...Anyway, my plan is to find land with a duplex or home on it and create affordable senior housing. Seniors are getting CRUSHED by the active senior communities, which charge upwards of 3000 and raise rent 5% or more after they are already in, and bonded with new friends. It's rough for them when they are on fixed incomes. I'd like to do a space where each has a tiny home, a little fencesd area, and allow pets. Any suggestions on grants?

    San Diego has a new ordinance for STR’s beginning Jan 1st 2023. Only 1% of all properties can be STR’s except the Mission Beach area. And for the 1% those people have to enter a lotto. Unless it’s their personal home. This kills a lot of AirBnB in San Diego.

    So from a scaling perspective - I understand the importance of getting good appreciation and then using that as a way to invest in a few properties. Do you think it makes more sense to sell those high appreciating properties or to take a heloc out against it and reinvest? Great content guys!

  • @scorp2b

    I'm in a similar situation, young and growing with a couple rentals under my belt but looking to scale. From what I understand, there's not a right or wrong answer. It's dependant on your portfolio and what suits you best. Some things I'm looking at to help my decision are; 1. Appreciation of houses I own - does the market have potential for appreciation to keep increasing or is the market somewhat capped for location and geographical reasons? 2. What my next investment is gonna be - am I gonna be able to see a return quickly if I do take out a heloc? Or if the return is slow am I gonna be stuck paying back the heloc for longer than I want to be, ultimately slowing me down? 3. Does it make more sense to take a heloc or use a 1031 exchange to fund my next property? - both have their pros and cons. If I think my market appreciation is limited, and I find a deal in an area where the market appreciation could be higher, I might consider the 1031 exchange route. But, if my market has high upside appreciation potential and I find a deal I can start off with a quick and solid return, I might look at getting a heloc. I also recommend going to a lender and finding what you can get on a heloc. The more ready you are for each decision, the easier it will be when it comes time to make the decision of what's best for you. Hope this helps!
