Property investors rode a wild wave during the pandemic, with the short-term rental market stopping, then restarting, and property prices in many second-home markets soaring. What does the future hold for new second-homeowners and for managers of more robust property portfolios? We’ll explore that and more, all May long, at Inman.
With the advent of short-term rental platforms like Airbnb in the late aughts, suddenly the average person with an unrelated day job could potentially live out their dream of running a bed and breakfast.
A burgeoning online short-term rental community and a variety of platforms to support their businesses helped many individuals grow side gigs into full-time businesses as short-term stays started to pop up on travelers’ radar. Now, it’s not uncommon for individuals to earn most of their income from these properties.
The short-term rental market has seen a surge in demand after the initial shock of the pandemic as travelers have sought out more private, controlled accommodations that are closer to a home-like environment.
Amid increased demand, how can short-term rental owners make sure their properties stand apart from the rest? Here’s what the experts have to say.

It’s worth noting though, that in the era of COVID-19 and limited restaurant operations available in most places, guests may actually be doing more cooking these days than Ramsay thinks. Therefore, investing in a kitchen that does more than the absolute bare minimum will be money well spent.
