Description

We say it often: short-term rentals are a great way to stick your toe in the water in exploring investment properties. But there are still a lot of unknowns as you start out. Like the basics – how much should I charge? What is your competition? Does this place even need short-term rentals?

First, the opportunities are greater than you might think. Second – the data is there to answer many of your questions. Our podcast guest has answers, and he is working hard to mine the data for even more detailed answers.

On our most recent podcast episode, we talk to Scott Shatford who started renting his home on AirBnB when he went away on extended travel. He immediately saw the potential. His background in data analytics gave him an idea: why not create a repository for data that can help short-term renters understand their market?

AirDNA.co was born. AirDNA is an aggregator of short-term rental data & insights to help owners succeed in the sharing economy.
