Send us Fan MailMost rent-to-rent businesses do not fail because the strategy is “bad” they fail because the setup is sloppy. We get practical about what you actually need before you take on properties, whether you are running HMOs or building a service accommodation portfolio, so you can operate like a real property professional from day one.  We talk through the essentials: setting up a limited company, opening a proper business bank account, and treating income as the business's money until you have planned for tax and costs. We also share a simple “pots” approach for cashflow management, including money set aside for voids and maintenance, so your bank balance stops lying to you and you can pay contractors quickly and confidently.  From there, we dig into the systems that keep things running. For HMOs, we cover tenant management software, room advertising, the DPS deposit protection scheme, tenant referencing, business phone numbers, and getting legal support through the NRLA. For service accommodation, we break down why a channel manager and dynamic pricing tools like PriceLabs matter, plus how data tools like AirDNA can help you assess demand and occupancy. We finish with how we think about building a support team with VAs, viewing help, cleaners, and emergency cover so the business serves your life instead of owning it.If you found this useful, subscribe, share it with a friend building a rent-to-rent business, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Short-Term Rental Investing in Today's Market Short-term rental investing has changed faster than almost any other real estate strategy, and the rules that made deals work in 2021 are actively losing money in 2026. This panel was recorded live at the 2026 Midwest Real Estate Investor Conference, where moderator Jeremy Garcia sat down with three operators who have been through the regulatory grinder: commercial investor and broker Charlie Kao, Michigan short-term rental attorney Katie Johnson, and designer and vacation rental investor Sarah Doane. They cover market selection, Michigan zoning and deed restrictions, what actually separates a profitable Airbnb from one that is just getting by, and where the real opportunities sit now that the easy money is gone. About the Panel Charlie Kao is an investor, broker, and principal at Twin Oaks Capital with more than twenty years in short-term rentals and hospitality real estate. An early Airbnb adopter, he now operates across five states including Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia, and provides consulting, brokerage, and feasibility studies to owners and investors. Katie Johnson is a Michigan real estate attorney and founder of Katie Johnson PLC and STR Law. She advises short-term rental owners nationwide on asset protection, zoning, and compliance, and helps long-term landlords with lease drafting and risk management. She is also an active investor who owns and manages roughly eleven properties in Southwest Michigan. Sarah Glidewell is an interior designer and vacation rental investor with more than a decade of design experience. Since 2019 she has focused on designing short-term rentals built around guest experience, and she invests in rural lake and river markets in Michigan and Upstate New York alongside her husband. Jeremy Garcia moderated the panel. He operates short-term rentals and a boutique hotel in the Muskegon market. What We Cover in This Episode How to evaluate a short-term rental market when regulation is unsettled Why highly regulated markets can be safer than unregulated ones Michigan short-term rental case law and why owners are not automatically grandfathered Deed restrictions, title work, and the covenant language that shuts operators down The Park Township ban, the ongoing federal lawsuit, and what it means for other municipalities What happened when three of four short-term rentals were shut down by regulation Using 1031 exchanges to move out of markets that turn hostile Whether the short-term rental market is actually oversaturated How to read AirDNA data without drawing the wrong conclusion Rising costs, shrinking margins, and the shift in Airbnb guest fees Bringing cleaning in-house and what it does to cleaning cost per turn Using AI for guest messaging and after-hours support Guest avatar selection and how it drives every design decision Which amenities actually produce return, including hot tub revenue data Hedging seasonality with year-round amenities in cold weather markets Short-term rental tax strategy, depreciation, and offsetting outside income The luxury design gap that most operators are ignoring Working with municipalities: grassroots campaigns, local counsel, and goodwill with neighbors The biggest mistakes each panelist made and what they cost Key Insight Sarah Glidewell and her husband had four fully operational short-term rentals in Michigan when the state pushed regulation down to the local level. Over two years, three of the four were shut down. They 1031 exchanged all of them into new properties, and every one sold for over asking price within the first week on the market. They did not lose money. They lost time, and they lost the compounding. Her takeaway: she now buys nothing without legal review first, and she deliberately targets markets that are already regulated. Why This Episode Matters If you are underwriting a short-term rental in an unregulated market because it looks like open runway, this panel gives you the case law and the operator experience explaining why that assumption can cost you the asset. It also gives you a concrete answer on saturation, on which amenities produce measurable revenue lift, and on what a professionalized short-term rental operation actually looks like now that mom-and-pop listings no longer compete.

Revenue management is getting faster, smarter, and more accessible—but building the next generation of pricing technology comes with a surprising challenge: how do you get operators to trust the numbers? In this episode of The STR Data Lab, Chief Economist Jamie Lane sits down with AirDNA's Data Science Manager Marc Moreno and Senior Product Manager Jordon Myers to go behind the scenes of building AirDNA's new revenue management platform, Adapt.The conversation explores what AirDNA learned from hundreds of conversations with STR operators, including the surprising number of hosts still managing pricing manually and the widespread frustration with opaque pricing recommendations. Marc and Jordon explain why explainability became a core design principle, how millions of listings and noisy data shaped the modeling process, and why some of the most promising AI approaches had to be reconsidered. They also unpack how AI has fundamentally changed the product development process—from months-long handoffs to rapid prototyping, testing, and iteration with real users.Looking ahead, the team discusses where revenue management is headed as AI agents, APIs, and new data interfaces become more common. The future may not be about forcing operators into another dashboard—it could be about making reliable revenue management data and recommendations accessible wherever operators already work.You don't want to miss this behind-the-scenes look at how the future of STR revenue management is being built.Key TakeawaysTrust is just as important as accuracy. A pricing recommendation is only valuable if operators understand where it came from and feel confident acting on it.Clean data is the foundation of good pricing. With millions of listings across multiple channels, filtering noise and engineering the right signals can be just as important as the model itself.Events require proactive pricing. Rather than waiting for demand to appear in the data, revenue management systems need to identify external signals early enough to adjust pricing before bookings happen.AI is changing how products are built. Rapid prototyping and AI-assisted development allow teams to test ideas with real data and users much faster than traditional product-development cycles.The future may extend beyond the UI. As operators increasingly use AI agents, APIs, and their own internal tools, revenue management data needs to be accessible wherever decisions are being made.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

Is Airbnb DEAD? Not even close — but most investors are playing it completely wrong. 20-year real estate veteran Shawn Moore (Founder & CEO of Vodyssey - V-O-D-Y-S-S-E-Y) joins Mary Jo Irmen on Without The Bank to expose why gurus keep switching strategies, why the tax savings are TRAPPING investors, and why right now — with high prices, 7% rates, and low inventory — is actually the best time to buy if you understand underwriting. Shawn started in fix & flips in 2000, survived the 2008 crash thanks to a single A-frame cabin in Bear Lake, Utah, went all-in on short-term rentals from 2012-2014, wrote his book in 2017-2019 (pre-COVID), and built Vodyssey into one of the largest short-term rental communities in the country. Inside this episode:

DSCR loan for Airbnb: how to finance a short-term rental on the property's income instead of your tax returns. This investor's Airbnb cleared $4,200 a month, and the bank still said no.In this episode, Ryan breaks down how a DSCR loan finances a short-term rental when a conventional loan cannot. The bank qualifies you based on your tax returns, your debt-to-income ratio, and your W-2, so a smart investor who writes off heavily looks broke on paper and gets declined. A DSCR loan ignores all of that and qualifies on whether the property's rental income covers the payment.He covers the short-term-rental-specific mechanics most lenders never explain: how an appraiser values Airbnb income, the difference between the long-term 1007 rent schedule and actual short-term revenue, when a lender will use an AirDNA report or booking history, and the exact question to ask before you write the offer. He also walks through the realities of the down payment, reserves, and DSCR ratio for a short-term rental, including the seasonality trap that catches investors who only underwrite the peak season.The episode closes with the four steps to get approved for the property's income, even when your tax returns show you make nothing.The bank asks what you make. A DSCR loan asks what the property makes.

Airbnb names a former Booking.com hotel chief as its new chief business officer as its hotel push accelerates, AirDNA launches a dynamic pricing tool aimed at the 85% of short-term rental hosts still leaving money on the table, and JetBlue bets its comeback on a new domestic first class with mattress foam and custom cocktails. On today's Skift Daily Briefing, Tasmin Lockwood, Skift's Climate and Experiences Reporter, breaks down why Airbnb's latest hire is a clear signal that its hotel ambitions just got serious, how AirDNA is betting simplicity can unlock dynamic pricing for the hosts that every other tool hasn't reached, and why JetBlue thinks premium cabins can do what cost-cutting alone hasn't.

We sit down with Matt Sanderson, founder of STRIQ, to break down how data finds profitable short-term rental properties in seconds instead of weeks. We cover the below key aspects: Why a single AirDNA number can hide $100,000 a year in missed revenue. The exact filters that clean up comp data so a 5-mile radius stops lying to you How one bedroom conversion turned a $150,000 property into a $210,000 property The 4 questions to ask yourself before you ever open a single listing Why chasing the "top 10 markets" everyone talks about might be costing you money If you are ready to stop guessing and start finding properties backed by real data, this episode gives you the exact framework to use.

Boy, did he ever. The two-time Cy Young winner tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing one hit and facing the minimum. He struck out eight with a wider pitch arsenal than he typically uses. He also made some mechanical adjustments that he thinks will help him going forward. It was a good team win that saw the offense deliver in a variety of ways.

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/join An ALLCITY Network Production SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports The schedule is winding down for the Texas Rangers, who returned home Sunday night after a victory over Milwaukee that prevented them from being swept by baseball's best team. The Rangers will face the A's and the Rays on a seven-game homestand and must win at least four of them. Jacob deGrom will pitch the opener as he tries to bounce back from a terrible start at Chicago. The A's have been ravaged by injuries but won a home series vs. the Rangers earlier this month and one the first series at Globe Life Field in April. The Rays are the best record in the American League, so a four-game split might be difficult but it's necessary.

An ALLCITY Network Production The Texas Rangers had a chance to win a road series Wednesday, and the White Sox seemed willing to let them by issuing eight walks in the first three-plus innings. But the offense stalled, and the pitching staff broke down in a 10-4 loss. The Rangers were off Thursday before opening a weekend series at Milwaukee. The Brewers have the best record in baseball, so the Rangers will be hard-pressed to win the series and risk falling further behind in the postseason race.

The short-term rental industry is entering a new phase—and the old playbook of growth at all costs may no longer be the answer. In this episode of The STR Data Lab, Jamie Lane sits down with Annie Holcombe and Alex Husner, to unpack how the industry has evolved, what operators have learned from the post-COVID growth boom, and why professionalism isn't necessarily about managing hundreds of properties. From individual hosts to large property managers, success increasingly comes down to building sustainable operations, delivering great guest experiences, and understanding what actually drives profitability.The conversation also dives into some of the biggest forces reshaping the industry: AI, property management technology, local vs. national brands, and the changing relationship between operators and OTAs. Alex and Annie share their perspectives on where AI is already making an impact, why smaller operators may actually be better positioned to adopt new technology, and how property managers can balance direct bookings with the reach of OTAs and emerging AI-driven search. They also explore what professionalization really means—and why the industry needs to do a better job of bringing newer and smaller operators into the broader conversation.The future of STR is changing quickly—and you don't want to miss this episode!Key TakeawaysGrowth isn't the only measure of success: Sustainable operations, stronger margins, and better owner and guest experiences can be more valuable than simply adding units.Professionalization is about fundamentals: Strong accounting, guest safety, consistent service, profitability, and intentional operations matter more than hitting a specific property count.AI adoption will depend on the operator: Smaller businesses may have an advantage because they can implement new tools without having to overhaul a massive existing tech stack.Local expertise still matters: The future may be less about choosing between local and national models and more about combining local market knowledge with the efficiencies of scale.Marketing is becoming more complex: Operators need to think beyond individual OTAs and direct bookings, with SEO, reviews, social content, repeat guests, and AI-driven discovery all becoming part of the demand-generation strategy.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

The starting rotation, though, was very good and needed only minimal offense to help push the Rangers to a 4-2 record and into a tie for first place in the American League West. Cal Quantrill was very good Sunday, tossing six scoreless innings in a 5-3 win. He tossed seven scoreless to open the homestand. The Rangers also welcomed Logan O'Hoppe to the team, and he made his first start Sunday since being acquired before the trade deadline. Next up for the Rangers is a tough road trip to face the White Sox and Brewers, both division leaders.   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Once cleared to start Thursday, they needed him to be very good, and he was. He also made history during his six scoreless innings, recording his 2,000th career strikeout in a 6-0 victory over the Nationals. DeGrom downplayed the significance of the milestone, saying the team win was most important. He's not wrong necessarily, as the victory secured the series and move the Rangers up a notch in the wild-card standings.   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

The way travelers discover short-term rentals is changing—and the biggest shift may be happening before they ever visit Airbnb, Vrbo, or a property manager's website. In this episode of The STR Data Lab, AirDNA Chief Economist Jamie Lane sits down with Jason Cincotta, co-founder of Kismet, to unpack how AI-powered search is reshaping travel discovery, how much revenue it may already be influencing, and why traditional attribution models could be missing a huge part of the picture.The conversation goes beyond the headline numbers. Jamie and Jason explore why AI-driven guests may convert at higher rates, why so much AI research happens “in the dark” without appearing in traditional analytics, and how the rise of AI could change the long-standing balance between OTAs and direct bookings. They also discuss what property managers and hosts can do today—from improving imagery and website experiences to making their property data easier for AI systems to understand.You don't want to miss this episode if you want to understand where STR distribution is headed next.Key TakeawaysAI search is already influencing STR bookings. Traditional referral and UTM data may dramatically undercount the impact of AI-driven travel research.The travel “front door” is changing. Guests are increasingly using AI to research destinations, build itineraries, compare properties, and determine where they want to stay before visiting a booking platform.Direct bookings could gain an advantage. AI can potentially compare OTAs with direct channels and surface properties based on the individual traveler's needs, preferences, and previous experiences.Your website still matters. More AI visibility only helps if your direct booking experience can convert the traffic. Strong imagery, compelling copy, mobile functionality, branding, and a seamless booking engine are becoming increasingly important.Make your property easy for AI to understand. Structured, accurate information about your homes—including amenities, imagery, availability, pricing, and other commercial data—can help ensure your inventory is discoverable in emerging AI-powered search environments.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   The Texas Rangers returned home Tuesday night and played their most complete game in nearly two weeks in a 5-0 win over the Nationals. Cal Quantrill was excellent on the mound, tossing seven innings, and Wyatt Langford and Corey Seager sparked the offense. All of what the Rangers need to do down the stretch was on display: from base running to the platoon players producing. If the Rangers can win 82 games this season — 20 more in their final 36 games — they could be in an enviable position for the postseason.   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   The road trip didn't get any better for the Texas Rangers against the A's, who won two of the three weekend games and sent the Rangers to a 2-5 West Coast swing. The offense didn't produce, and the Rangers have rotation questions because of injuries to Nathan Eovaldi and Jacob deGrom. As bad as things seem, the Rangers are only a half-game behind the Orioles for the final wild-card spot into the American League playoffs. Some good happened on the road trip, including Corey Seager showing some signs of life at the plate. The Rangers have 37 games to go, beginning Tuesday at home against the Nationals.   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   The Texas Rangers just dropped three straight games to the worst team in baseball, the Angels, and have fallen out of a playoff spot and further behind in the American League West. They might have trouble recovering after Nathan Eovaldi landed on the injured list Monday and Jacob deGrom left his start Thursday after only two innings. Jordan Montgomery wasn't effective enough to keep the Rangers in the game, but, then again, two runs were all the Angels needed in a 7-0 win to secure the series. The Rangers flew to Sacramento after the game for a weekend series against another bad team, the A's.

The U.S. short-term rental market is showing surprising strength—even as the broader economy sends mixed signals. In this episode of The STR Data Lab, Jamie Lane and Bram Gallagher break down July's performance and explore what's really driving growth across the STR market. U.S. RevPAR jumped 7.2% in July, with ADR emerging as the biggest contributor, while occupancy also moved into positive year-over-year growth.The conversation goes beyond the headline numbers to separate the impact of the 2026 World Cup from broader market trends. While World Cup host cities saw significant gains in both rates and supply, the rest of the country also delivered strong rate growth—and supply growth outside host cities remained below 2%. Looking ahead, Jamie and Bram discuss why higher interest rates could keep supply growth constrained, why improving occupancy and ADR could support strong unit-level performance through the rest of 2026, and what changing booking behavior means for pricing strategy.One of the most encouraging signals for operators is a reversal in the long-running trend toward shorter booking windows. Lead times have increased or held steady for four consecutive months, with coastal markets seeing particularly notable gains. For hosts and managers, that shift could create new opportunities to capture demand earlier and price more strategically.You don't want to miss this episode if you're planning your STR strategy for the rest of 2026.Key TakeawaysRevPAR is accelerating: U.S. RevPAR increased 7.2% in July, driven primarily by stronger ADR and supported by improving occupancy.The World Cup boosted rates, but it wasn't the whole story: Rate growth was especially strong in host cities, but gains were broad-based across the country.Supply growth is likely to remain limited: Outside World Cup host cities, supply growth was below 2% in June and July, with high mortgage rates and expensive real estate continuing to constrain new listings.Longer lead times could change pricing strategy: Travelers are increasingly booking further in advance, reversing a years-long trend toward last-minute bookings. Hosts should pay attention to pacing and adjust pricing accordingly.The outlook for unit-level performance remains strong: With occupancy trending upward, ADR growth remaining healthy, and limited new competition expected, operators could see continued gains through the remainder of 2026.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   The Texas Rangers lost 3-2 to the Angels on Tuesday, a game that was frustrating offensively in light of a solid performance by starting pitcher Cody Bradford. The Rangers' first run came on the first batter of the game, as Joc Pederson homered, but the offense missed a chance later in the first inning and throughout the game. The offense has reverted to its early-season form by scoring only 15 runs in their past five games. The drought comes at a time when the starting rotation has been good but now faces more adversity with Nathan Eovaldi in the injured list.   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Now, the Rangers go on the road to face the two worst teams in the American League, the Angels and the A's. The opportunity for a successful seven-game road trip and to gain ground in the playoff race is right in front of them. They need the rotation to continue pitching well.

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports     The Texas Rangers are holding onto the thought that they will be a playoff threat as players return from the injured list. The first one back turned out to be Cody Bradford, who was a surprise starter Wednesday against the Giants. He tossed 4 1/3 innings in a 6-0 win that secured a series win. Up next should be Jordan Montgomery, but the Rangers have some maneuvering to do. But the players on the roster have to carry their fair share of the load, too, and it starts with Nathan Eovaldi and Jacob deGrom in a key home series against the Orioles.   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Did the FIFA World Cup live up to the hype for short-term rental hosts—or did the headlines get it wrong?After months of tracking booking trends, pricing, and occupancy across all 16 host cities, Jamie Lane sits down with AirDNA Senior Research Analyst Linda Rollins and Kansas City Short-Term Rental Alliance leader Susan Brown to separate fact from fiction. They unpack what actually happened during one of the biggest global travel events, why so many media narratives missed the mark, and what hosts can learn before the next major event comes to town.From Kansas City's massive supply surge to the reality of last-minute booking behavior, this episode dives into the numbers behind the World Cup and explains why revenue growth wasn't driven by more travelers alone. Whether you're preparing for a major sporting event, concert series, or convention, these lessons will help you make smarter pricing decisions, set realistic expectations, and build a stronger hosting business.Key Takeaways:You don't want to miss this episode!Why the World Cup became a rate-driven event rather than a demand-driven one—and what that means for host revenue.How Kansas City successfully partnered with local government, OTAs, and hosts to rapidly expand STR supply.Why many hosts underestimated the importance of pricing strategy and last-minute booking behavior.How a surge in new listings lowered occupancy even as guest demand reached record highs.Practical lessons hosts can use to prepare for future mega-events like the Olympics, World Cup, or major conventions.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   The buzz did not match trade-deadline reality Monday with the Texas Rangers are the MLB trade deadline. They did next to nothing, trading away Josh Smith to Toronto for Adam Macko, a young left-handed pitcher. The Rangers had been informed by Jacob deGrom that he would not waive his no-trade protection, with the right-hander saying that he wants to win with the Rangers. That's why he signed and asked for no trades in the first place. The Rangers then went out and laid an egg against the Giants, losing 5-1. The Rangers committed five errors in their sixth straight loss, a bad look for a team that keeps saying it's good enough to win as is.   An ALLCITY Network Production   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

What is your short-term rental business really worth—and more importantly, what are buyers actually looking for right now? In this episode of The STR Data Lab, CEO of AirDNA Rohit Bezewada sits down with C2G Advisors' Managing Partner Jacobie Olin. They unpack the realities behind today's M&A market for property managers, cutting through the noise of tech buzzwords and surface-level metrics. If you've ever wondered how growth, profitability, and operations translate into valuation, this conversation brings clarity where it matters most.The truth is, buyers aren't chasing shiny tools or trendy “AI-native” claims—they're focused on fundamentals. Clean financials, predictable revenue trends, strong margins, and a capable team still win the day. But layered on top of that are evolving deal structures, shifting expectations around growth, and a competitive landscape where demand for quality operators continues to outpace supply. Whether you're planning to sell soon or just building with the end in mind, understanding these dynamics can shape smarter decisions today.Zooming out, they also explore where the STR industry is headed: continued consolidation at the top, rapid growth among mid-sized operators, and the role technology (including AI) may play in expanding margins—not valuations—over time. It's a grounded, data-driven look at how to build a business that performs now and positions you for future opportunities.You don't want to miss this episode!Key Takeaways:Clean financials matter more than anything else—buyers prioritize clarity, consistency, and reliable performance over flashy tools.Growth + profitability = premium valuations—steady portfolio expansion and strong EBITDA margins drive the most interest.Revenue mix impacts your bottom line—ancillary income (like cleaning fees) can significantly boost margins since it's not shared with homeowners.Deal structure is just as important as price—offers with higher cash upfront and simpler terms tend to win over complex, contingency-heavy deals.AI won't boost your valuation—yet—it only matters if it clearly improves revenue or margins in your financials.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

The series also had trade-deadline implications. Players were aware of both and responded well with a lot on the line. Joc Pederson, Ezequiel Duran, Jake Burger and Wyatt Langford were key players in the series, and so were Nathan Eovaldi and Kumar Rocker. The Rangers should be buyers at the trade deadline, which arrives Aug. 3. They need bullpen help, a catcher and right-handed hitter.

The first half of 2026 is in the books—and the latest data is telling a much stronger story than many expected. In this episode of The STR Data Lab, AirDNA CEO Rohit sits down with economist Bram Gallagher to break down June's performance, the impact of the FIFA World Cup on short-term rentals, and why existing hosts may be entering one of the strongest competitive positions they've seen in years.From record ADR gains and rising pricing power to slowing supply growth and stronger-than-expected travel demand, Bram explains why the industry's fundamentals remain healthy despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. They also unpack which markets truly benefited from the World Cup, why many bookings arrived at the last minute, and what hosts should expect as the industry heads into a promising second half of 2026.Whether you're managing one property or scaling a portfolio, this episode offers practical insights into pricing strategy, market timing, and where future demand is likely to emerge. Plus, Bram shares the biggest risks he's watching—and why he's still optimistic about what's ahead.You don't want to miss this episode!Key TakeawaysEstablished hosts are gaining pricing power. AirDNA's Repeat Rent Index climbed 6.8% year over year, showing experienced operators are raising rates well above inflation thanks to reviews, repeat guests, and stronger market positioning.The FIFA World Cup delivered for hosts. Most host cities experienced meaningful demand increases and ADR growth exceeding 30%, with many bookings arriving just days before matches—reinforcing the importance of staying patient with pricing.New supply is slowing dramatically. Listing growth has fallen below 2% for the first time since the pandemic as higher mortgage rates discourage new investors, creating a more favorable environment for existing hosts.Demand is expanding beyond major cities. Smaller cities and rural destinations continue attracting travelers, proving that guests are seeking unique experiences beyond traditional urban markets.The second half of 2026 is shaping up well. Easier year-over-year comparisons, strong event calendars, healthy pricing trends, and slowing supply point toward improving occupancy and continued revenue growth for hosts.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

The Texas Rangers are headed to Atlanta for a three-game weekend series against the Braves. The Rangers do so in first place in the American League West by 1 1/2 games over the Mariners and as the only team in the division above .500 (49-47). There is room to improve, particularly in a bullpen that could use immediate help.

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   An ALLCITY Network Production   The All-Star Game is done, and Jacob Latz, the lone Texas Rangers' All-Star, acquitted himself nicely in a short appearance. Before the season resumes Friday, the Rangers dropped some news on its fanbase Wednesday morning: Victory+ is no longer their direct-to-consumer partner. They pulled the plug on Victory+ and are now hooked up with BZZR, a social app that is taking on game distribution for the first time. Fans are irritated and will have to work a little bit to continue to see games. Maybe fans will be able to see Sebastian Walcott in Frisco soon. He played his first game since February elbow surgery Tuesday night in Arizona.   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

How do you turn what feels like an “ordinary” property into a brand that guests connect with, remember, and actively choose over everyone else's? In this episode, I'm joined by branding and marketing strategist Ali Haney. We're unpacking how she transitioned from a long-term rental disaster into remote short-term rental management across multiple states, eventually blending her photography background with her hospitality experience to help hosts build true brand equity.We talk about:Flipping perceived property weaknesses into powerful market differentiators, like turning a Gatlinburg cabin's lack of internet into an intentional, off-the-grid romantic reset complete with analog experiences.Building a foundational brand strategy from scratch by defining core messaging pillars, identifying a hyper-specific guest avatar, and establishing values that serve as concrete criteria for hiring and firing your team.Utilizing ChatGPT and AirDNA as a market research "cheat code" to analyze competitor specs, summarize guest review trends, and spot high-impact amenities missing in your local market.Designing property features around guest origin data, such as installing an EV charger at a Catskills rental specifically to attract higher-income, eco-conscious travelers driving up from the city.Executing a deep property rebrand that goes beyond a logo tweak, using your brand strategy as a daily filter for social content, listing updates, and team briefs to eliminate decision fatigue.Ali pulls back the curtain on how to use your brand strategy as the literal backbone of your guest experience and long-term business scaling. You'll hear how to shift your mindset to view marketing as structured testing and learning rather than a verdict on your worth, allowing you to "do it scared" and out-position your competition.If you are a short-term rental / Airbnb host wondering how to stop competing on price alone and start engineering an unforgettable hospitality brand that commands premium rates, this conversation is your blueprint. Get ready to learn how to drop perfectionism and start leading your life and business with intention.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[01:07] A short introduction about our guest Ali Haney, and how she got into the world of short-term rentals[03:12] Ali talks about using branding strategy to move beyond photography and create marketing that connects with ideal guests [06:50] Ali explains how defining a property's personality and turning perceived limitations into unique selling points creates a memorable brand that attracts the right guests [09:32] How identifying a property's natural differentiators helps build a stronger and more memorable brand[10:49] Ali shares how operators can decide between separate property brands or a unified brand strategy when managing multiple listings across different markets[12:39] Ali outlines portfolio-level values as the foundation for aligning multiple property brands while preserving each listing's individuality [15:40] Ali defines brand strategy as the foundational framework that aligns mission, guest targeting, differentiation, and messaging to guide every part of a short-term rental business[21:14] How the core value of excellence creates clear operational boundaries and simplifies decision-making across hospitality and property management[24:33] Ali highlights branding as a profit-driven strategy that turns one-time OTA guests into repeat direct bookings while improving long-term ROI[27:51] Ali frames rebranding as a full strategic reset that goes beyond visuals to ensure alignment between guest targeting, design, and business goals [30:16] Ali distinguishes between legacy brands and STR assets while outlining when rebranding makes sense and how to use guest data to guide the decision [32:52] How competitor and review analysis can uncover actionable differentiators that directly shape STR brand strategy and guest experience design[34:56] Ali reframes STR marketing as a data-driven cycle of testing and learning, separating performance outcomes from personal identity to support better decision-making[37:31] Ali shares how short-term rental owners can begin building a brand strategy by using existing performance data and evaluating properties through a differentiation-first mindset[40:07] The lightning round Golden Nuggets:“You're giving the house essentially a personality, so that people can start to feel like they know that property before they even step foot into it.”“We took what she thought was a weakness and instead tailored the entire property's brand and made it their superpower.”“If we don't have a strategy that we want to enact within our business and we just build pretty things on top of it, it's probably going to fall down at some point.”“Create an experience that people want to return to, because it's much easier to nurture a client or a guest that already trusts you, versus having to consistently acquire new ones.”“If we just take a small step each and every day, and we do that scared, that is still a huge amount of progress over six months time, nine months time, 12 months time.”Let's Connect: Website : https://brandandmarket.co/Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/brandandmarket.co/Enjoyed the show?

He's frustrated to, but he told DLLS Sports exclusively that he expects to play again this season after getting a plan from a back specialist. His mounting health issues come at a tricky time for the team, which is in first place in the American League West after a narrow escape Thursday against the Angels.

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard   An ALLCITY Network Production   The Texas Rangers snapped a two-game losing streak and pushed the Angels' losing streak to seven with an 8-3 victory Tuesday night at Globe Life Field. Jacob deGrom pitched well over five innings before leaving with a hip injury that he said will not prevent him from making his next start. The Rangers got big offensive contributions from Justin Foscue, who hit a pinch-hit homer and drove in another run in a five-run eighth, and Alejandro Osuna, who hit a three-run homer to cap the big eighth. Nicky Lopez and Ezequiel Duran also delivered. No one was expecting that foursome to be key contributors for the Rangers, but they are and their contributions have been welcomed.   SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@DLLS_Sports   ALL THINGS DLLS:   WEBSITE: https://store.allcitynetwork.com/collections/dlls-locker   BUY MERCH: http://DLLSLocker.com   FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: Twitter: @DLLS_Sports Instagram: @DLLS_Sports   Become a DLLS Diehard and get access to premium content, our Discord channel, discounts on merch, and a free shirt!

Is now still a smart time to invest in short-term rentals—or has the opportunity already passed? In this episode of The STR Data Lab, AirDNA CEO Rohit sits down with John Bianchi, better known as the Airbnb Data Guy, to unpack the data-driven framework that's helped identify more than 400 profitable STR investments. From finding resilient markets to evaluating deals and designing properties that outperform the competition, John shares the methodology he uses to separate great investments from costly mistakes.The conversation goes far beyond market selection. John explains why regulation should always come before revenue analysis, how his "20% Rule" helps quickly identify markets with cash-flow potential, and why amenities, marketing, and guest experience often matter more than the property itself. Along the way, Rohit and John explore how today's market differs from the easy-money era—and why thoughtful investors may still have a significant advantage.Whether you're buying your first vacation rental or scaling a portfolio, this episode is packed with practical insights on underwriting, property optimization, and long-term investment strategy. If you're looking to make smarter decisions with your next STR investment, this conversation offers a roadmap grounded in data—not hype.You don't want to miss this episode!Key TakeawaysStart with regulation—not revenue. Before analyzing any market, understand its STR regulations and prioritize locations with stable, well-defined rules.Use the 20% Rule as a quick filter. Compare a property's purchase price to its revenue potential to quickly determine whether a market is worth deeper analysis.Design for experiences, not bedrooms. Amenities, outdoor spaces, and memorable guest experiences consistently outperform standard listings and drive higher revenue.Marketing matters more than most hosts realize. The order of your listing photos, storytelling, and presentation can dramatically influence bookings—even before guests read a single word.Think long-term, not just this year's cash flow. Combining cash flow, appreciation, principal paydown, and tax advantages can create powerful compounding returns for investors who buy strategically.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

#712: Jeff Hurst, CEO of Furnished Finder, joins us to break down what midterm rentals are, who they're for, and why now might be the best time to get in. A midterm rental is a furnished unit rented for 30 days or longer - longer than a hotel stay, shorter than a traditional lease. Cities have been regulating Airbnb-style short-term rentals out of existence, leaving a wave of furnished properties with nowhere to go. That supply is now shifting toward the midterm market, driven by three primary tenant types: corporate and skilled trade workers, traveling healthcare professionals, and relocating families doing a "try before you buy" neighborhood test run. We get into the specifics of what it costs to furnish a midterm rental (about $7 per square foot, compared to $30 to $40 for a short-term rental), where owners typically overspend (treating it like a leisure destination), and where they underinvest (quality mattresses, blackout curtains, kitchen functionality). Jeff also explains how to model out your returns, estimate vacancy, and use tools like Furnished Finder's market insights tab and AirDNA data to vet a market before you buy. On the question of where to invest, Jeff walks through a layered research approach - starting with population migration, proximity to hospitals and universities, commuter corridors, and school districts. He's bullish on mid-sized cities with data center build-outs and expanding healthcare infrastructure, and argues that markets like those around northwest Arkansas, parts of Texas, and mid-sized Midwestern cities offer better risk-adjusted returns than the leisure destinations that dominated the short-term era. Jeff also covers HOA red flags to look for, how to approach off-market deals, what the regulatory environment looks like for midterm (spoiler: almost no city is restricting it), and why the category today feels a lot like short-term rentals at their peak.
