Is it too late to step into the short-term rental business?

Updated: Feb 21, 2023

The shortest answer is no, every business has different pros and cons you are never late to start on something that you already have wanted to do. The thing about STR is before the inception of short-term rental websites like VRBO, booking.com Expedia and several other online travel agents there used to be a traditional method of leasing property as a short-term rental however it was not through any website or any online media perhaps was via people that you know such as family, friends, a pal from overseas, friend of a friend, etc. Airbnb can be 90% of lucrative than the traditional method of leasing right after the inception of apps & online travel agents people easily begin to find a way to maximize their rental returns through these platforms most people only list their property on one website which is Airbnb but they would never know that there are multi and Omni channel that will allow them to get more bookings than ever before but the flip side of Airbnb is that it will allow the host protection and is more accessible to its host and it's something that host will never expect to get this straight Airbnb offers host protection policy which may or may not be easy to claim minor damages that have been done by guests who stayed on your certain properties however you will need to get your own insurance premium in order to protect your assets relying on Airbnb's one million U.S. dollar host protection policy will not get your business anywhere. So always makes sure you also look into the safe side of the story before you encounter something inevitable. It's crucial to understand different kinds of short-term rental markets and their income potential however homeowners who look after their own Short-Term Rentals do not want to let their property to a property management agency as their main source of income would be STR who ideally do want to engage on management and daily operations.
