Let Us Know What You Thought Of The Episode
Is short-term rental investing still worth it… or has the acquisition boom cooled off?
With cities tightening regulations, licenses disappearing, and bylaws changing fast, the question isn’t just “How much can this Airbnb make?” — it’s “Is this market stable enough to invest in?”
Joining me is Kenny Bedwell, Founder & CEO of STR Insights, a data-driven platform helping investors analyze revenue potential, seasonality, regulation risk, and market saturation before buying. Coming from a financial analytics background, Kenny breaks down how to remove speculation and make smarter, numbers-based decisions.
In this episode, we cover:
- How government regulation is reshaping short-term rentals
- How to spot stable vs. high-risk markets
- The key data points serious investors should be tracking
- Whether STRs still cash flow in today’s environment
- Why boutique hotel models are gaining attention
If you’re investing in Airbnb or thinking about entering the short-term rental space, this conversation will change how you approach market selection and risk.
